After almost a decade, Mr. 47 is back again to silently kill his targets in this new game Hitman: Absolution. The story started after the events of Blood Money where his contractor, Diana Burnwood, betrayed the Agency and now is in hiding. And the new top brass in the Agency hired 47 to kill his former contractor and retrieve the Agency's greatest creation that Diana took with her during her escape.
Now enough spoilers. This game is a break from all of the high-octane, adrenaline fueled, explosive action games. Because Hitman: Absolution is the opposite of that.
