The feeling of walking into a crowded ballroom with the intent of committing a murder and leaving without anyone being the wiser is something only the Hitman games have really achieved. Eavesdropping on conversations to learn about an evil dictator’s favorite food so you can poison the dish and leaving as he dies of food poisoning is a special kind of satisfying. Combining the better elements of previous entries in the series, Hitman presents all of these scenarios in a very open-ended fashion in some very elaborate and detailed environments. Even if the episodic release schedule does cut a lot of the fun short right when it gets going.

It looks like Agent 47 is taking a vacation for the holidays, as Hitman is skipping its Dec. 2015 launch and delayed to next March.

Our favorite bald assassin, Agent 47, returns in the next entry of the Hitman series this December.

A teaser trailer for 'Hitman: Agent 47' was shown at San Diego Comic-Con last week, but that footage has been kept under wraps, making these images the first exposure most fans will have to the film.

This concept art for the sixth major Hitman game depicts exactly what we were expecting: Agent 47 in a suit blending into a crowd outside a highly secure building he has to infiltrate.

Agent 47 won't be the butt of anyone's April Fool's Day joke as long as he has his fiber wire garrote in this next set of free offerings for Xbox Live subscribers.

IO Interactive shared the first details on its next-gen Hitman title, due to hit the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. From the sounds of it, Agent 47's next contract might just be his biggest and best yet.
