[i]The name "Agent 47" is just a whisper on the lips of the dead, because if he comes calling for you, you will never even know... until it's too late.

But that’s not all. Yesterday, on November 20th, we’ve been celebrating 10th anniversary of Hitman: Absolution - a beloved entry in IO Interactive’s biggest series. This action-stealth TPP game follows the Original Assassin undertaking his most personal contract to date. Betrayed by the Agency and hunted by the police, Agent 47 finds himself pursuing redemption in a corrupt and twisted world.

As part of that celebration we’d like you to revisit 3 of our favourite missions that await us in Absolution! Let’s take a look at what Agent 47 has been up to this time. And be warned, spoilers ahead!

Death Factory

12th mission in the game, consisting of 3 segments: Test Facility, Decontamination, and R&D. In the previous mission, 47 infiltrated Dexter Industries, and uncovered the secret R&D Facility, where Victoria (genetically enhanced teenage girl who has similar origins to that of Agent 47) was experimented on recently. Inside, he targets Marcus Green, an explosives developer, Raymond Valentine, an arms developer, Warren Ashford, the bio-engineer in charge of examining Victoria, and all researchers in the facility. Why do we like it? It’s a really cool location and it allows us to carry out some of the most creative assassinations in the whole series.



Shaving Lenny

Mission nine. After successfully retrieving Agent’s 47 signature Silverballers, we make our way to where Lenny Dexter, the son of the CEO of Dexter Industries and the leader of the Hope Cougars gang could be found: downtown Hope. In order to extract the location of Victoria and simultaneously thwart the Cougars' plan to conspire against Dexter Industries, we have to eliminate their entire roster and kidnap Lenny himself. It provides us with a nice wide open-area approach in Streets of Hope and it brings immense satisfaction to get rid off the gang that is very much disliked by most people in Hope.



King Of Chinatown

The King of Chinatown is the second mission of Hitman: Absolution and it consists of a single segment, Chinatown Square. You probably saw this one coming as it is an absolute fan favourite. The scenario takes place in Chinatown in Chicago, Illinois. Birdie, an informant, asks Agent 47 to kill an up-and-coming local gangster known as the King. While it does offer us an interesting open area and a multitude of creative ways to eliminate our targets, what makes it amazing is the sheer atmosphere and the production value. True Hitman experience.
