First Hitman 5 screen revealed through ARG, E3 reveal likely

The first screenshot for Hitman 5 has appeared online via an ARG being played by members of a Hitman community.

HitmanForum has uncovered five images, including four that reference the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, which suggests at least part of the game will be set in the city.

The other image is what appears to be a CG shot of Agent 47 applying a silencer to a gun.

IO Interactive’s community manager has confirmed the ARG is over, and subsequently hinted at an E3 reveal.

Speculation on a Hitman 5 has ramped up in the past year, with a release rumoured for this Christmas.

IO’s last game, Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days, released last August for PS3, 360 and PC.

Thanks, EG.

At Last! IO Interactive has stopped pissing around with that god-awful Kane & Lynch franchise.

Not the same team who worked on Hitman Franchise that is working on this Hitman. That team was with Kane and Lynch. So don’t get too excited.

Indeed. Let’s just hope there isn’t any cross-infection.

As its already been said; By the guys who brought you Kane & Lynch.

I’d like to point out at this point that the names of a games main characters dont set its quality, but the team that made it (the guys working on HM5) do…

I expect nothing.
