Known for Hitman Sniper, Hitman GO, Lara Croft GO and Deus Ex GO, Square Enix Montreal today launches Hitman Sniper: The Shadows on iOS and Android. Still attached to the IO Interactive franchise despite its divorce from the Danish studio, Square Enix is reconnecting with the Hitman universe in a different way. Here, it’s not 47 but other ICA assassins who take up arms to kill their targets from a distance all over the world.
So make way for the members of The Shadows squad, six hitmen with a story, a personality and skills all their own. Still beginners, these assassins will be able to develop their reputation to rise among the best agents of the ICA. For this, it will still be necessary to show skill, patience but also cunning to take advantage of interactions with the environment. These will allow you to cause the famous “accidental” deaths or to attract your target to a quiet corner before pulling the trigger.
“Players are encouraged to manipulate their enemies, use their environment to land the perfect shot, and are rewarded for their creativity. The campaign mode allows players to learn more about their targets to better eliminate them, while honing their skills. Player versus player (PvP) mode allows you to compete against other players to build your reputation. In this mode, precision and creativity are the key to landing contracts“, explains the press release.
Hitman Sniper: The Shadows is now available for free-to-play worldwide except for China, South Korea, Japan, Belgium and the Netherlands.
