Hitman preorder gives access to Sniper Challenge, in-game weapons

A stand-alone Hitman mini-game will be available to play on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 by those who pre-order Square Enix’s Hitman: Absolution from May 16.

A Windows PC version of the mini-game will be available through Steam from August 2.

Titled Hitman: Sniper Challenge, the game puts players in control of Agent 47 as he attempts to eliminate a high-value asset from a balcony overlooking a rooftop party. Despite sharing a protagonist, the game has no influence on the events in Hitman: Absolution beyond unlocking the Kazo TRG sniper rifle and some upgrades.

Description: (hide)
Betrayed and hunted by law enforcement, Agent 47 must delve into the criminally corrupt underworld and search for the truth. Rebuilt from its foundations, Hitman Absolution uses IO Interactive’s new Glacier 2 Engine. This has lead to a host of improvements ensuring that Agent 47’s world is grittier and more intricate than ever before. You are Agent 47 and you will be redeemed.

Features:
  • Choice - You are the ultimate assassin, as talented as you are ruthless. You decide how to lay your target low. Stalk your enemies, learn all their secrets and eliminate them in the most subtle way imaginable, snipe them from a mile away or put a bomb under their chair. There is no rulebook; you are the best, so think outside the box.
  • Disguises - In the Hitman series, your ability to disguise yourself as someone else has always been a pre-eminent feature and always been one of 47’s most powerful tools. This weapon has become even more lethal as you can no longer just blend in visually; you now have the power to impersonate your victim. A word of caution though, the world will react to your disguise so choose your target carefully.
  • AI - One facet of the new Glacier 2 engine is the Comprehensive Intelligence Spectrum. Your enemies come to life as you make your way through the world, expressing a wide range of reactions to the environment around them. An attention bar has also been introduced that represents how suspicious of you the people around you are. This is affected by sight, sound and environmental changes for example, a door being open that was closed. This new feature allows 47 to gauge how close to being detected he is and act accordingly.
  • Instinct - 47 has been around the block, instinctively knowing how an adversary will behave. Activate Instinct, see through his eyes and look at the world as 47 does. You’ll see how 47 would expect a target to patrol a certain area or show ways to escape. To earn instinct, just behave as 47 would and execute classic Hitman moves, a silent takedown is sure to set 47’s instincts ablaze.
  • A Living, Breathing World - With the power of the Glacier 2 engine, the world is richly detailed and varied. Raising the intelligence of the people populating it and standing in your way, allowing 47 to behave more naturally than ever before.
