A batch of new stills from Hitman: Absolution have found their way online, offering a look at some tasty new scenes from the next addition to IO Interactive's popular stealth assassin series.
These latest images show off the iconic and follically-challenged Agent 47 in a variety of murderous scenes and offer a good look at the game's colourful art direction.
Hit the man on the hitman thumbs below for the full gallery. Hitman: Absolution is due in 2012 (at a yet-to-be-disclosed date) on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

lmao. Spend more time on the levels. I had a tonne of fun fucking around with hitman contracts and would often test out 5-10 different tactical approaches, numerous times, before finding something that works. I find fucking about in the levels allows you to find stuff you wouldnt otherwise know about without looking up the solutions online (ie the panty sniffing guard in that FBI protected guy mission).
My fave was that opera singer one with the guy on stage and the dude in the box looking on. Spent ages exploring the map and eventually came up with my solution - walk in and around to the right, pick lock, go inside room, throw explosive into the room where the dude is watching from and as that counts down, nail the dude on stage with my SMG then immediately exit room, proceed to exit and walk out the front door. Something like 30 secs with only a bodyguard or 2 killed along with the targets and not a single eyebrow raised at me.
I just hope this new hitman still has the same level of skill and thought required and none of this cover bullshit that plagues console titles.
