Our primary ambition was to deliver a mobile experience true to the spirit of Hitman Sniper that would deliver exceptional quality visuals and gameplay. We wanted this game to be the start of a new adventure, rather than just a sequel. This vision gave us the freedom to go in a completely different direction, including introducing The Shadows squad, and allowed us to design a much more complex gameplay experience.
Audran Guerad, chief artist of the game, adds:
Since we are all big fans of the franchise, we wanted to translate its underground universe into an engaging and exceptional gaming experience. The cinematic art direction and impressive level of detail in our maps provide players with a highly immersive experience. With this new production, we aspire to become the visual reference in the shooter category.
Hitman Sniper: The Shadows is available now on iOS (AppStore) and Android (Google Play Store), everywhere in the world… except in Belgium, the Netherlands, China, South Korea and Japan. You can also find Hitman III at €49.99 on Amazon.
