In what seems like an absolute fucking age, mega-publisher Square-Enix has finally announced the fifth title in the Hitman franchise, Hitman: Absolution.

Apparently now done dicking around with making sub-standard, cliched and visual gimmickery laden third person shooters, those talented bods at IO Interactive are back to doing what they do best; making Hitman games and making them good.

Not much is known other than the name, year of release and destination platforms but Square-Enix have at least released this teaser trailer to get us all amped up about their latest thinking man’s murder simulator.

Hitman: Absolution will release in 2012 on PC, 360 and PS3 platforms. The last Hitman title, Hitman: Blood Money was released back in 2006.

Teaser trailer goodness can be seen below:

Roll on E3 where hopefully we’ll hear more details regarding the game.
