Watch A New Trailer For Square-Enix’s New ‘Hitman’!

Briefly: While we’re still disappointed that we won’t be playing Square-Enix’s upcoming Hitman (it was delayed until next year, remember?), it certainly looks as though that game is coming together very nicely.

At this week’s Paris Games Week, the publisher debuted a new trailer for the anticipated title, offering a gorgeous look at the antics we’ll finally be taking part in when the game launches next March.

Hitman is Io-Interactive’s newest chapter in the acclaimed blockbuster series of creative stealth action games. Enter a live and ever-expanding world of assassination, a digital experience that will continue to grow, deepen and evolve over time, where players perform contract hits on powerful, high profile targets in exotic locations around the world. From the highly fashionable Paris and sunny coast of Italy to the dust and hustle of the markets of Marrakesh and beyond, you have complete freedom of approach – where to go, when to strike and who to kill… is all up to you.

The sixth game in the core franchise, Io-Interactive has previously said not to think of the game as a reboot but as a pure “Hitman” experience and the foundation for future Hitman games. As an operative of the International Contract Agency, Agent 47’s job is to take out high-profile targets all over the world, supported by his long-time handler Diana Burnwood. Each location in the game is a living sandbox, a place where every NPC has a name and every room matters. Creativity from players is fully expected, you have the power and intelligence of Agent 47 at your fingertips and it is your choice whether to use brute force or orchestrate a genuine masterpiece of assassination.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think!
