Hitman: Sniper Announced by Square Enix

[Shawn Zipay]

Hold your horses, folks. Let's just get this out of the way right now and say that Hitman: Sniper is a new mobile and tablet game announced by Square Enix Montreal. Even though you may be let down, it should be known that the game will be playable at E3 next week.

Hitman: Sniper focuses on the subtlety of execution and includes a series of scenario-driven contracts, which contain a number of targets and assignments to allow for replayability.

Hitman: Sniper will be launching later this year with numerous levels full of creative opportunities to manipulate the environment, guards, and targets to complete the hit. It is also designed to deliver a game experience that is built for touch screen devices and takes full advantage of the possibilities offered by the platform and will contain leaderboard driven challenges for players to compete against their friends. The game will also be F2P to increase the level of leaderboard competition.

We'll probably have more on this come E3.
