IO Interactive unveils HITMAN ABSOLUTION

  May 11th, 2011

==== OFFICIAL PRESS RELEAS =====

The Fifth Game in the Multi-Million Selling Franchise Showcasing IO's New Glacier 2 Game Engine

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK - IO Interactive A/S, part of Square Enix Europe, is pleased to announce HITMAN(r) ABSOLUTION(tm), a new game for the Xbox 360(r) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation(r)3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.

HITMAN ABSOLUTION follows Agent 47(tm), a cold-blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he once trusted - and now hunted by the police - he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world.

"For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman(r) fantasy," said Tore Blystad, game director, IO Interactive. "This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world."

Scheduled for release in 2012, HITMAN ABSOLUTION will be showcased by invitation only at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles from June 7-9.

HITMAN ABSOLUTION is not yet rated. Please visit the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website at www.esrb.org for more information about ratings.
