Today sees the launch of Hitman GO, a simple to play, but difficult to master puzzle game set in a stunning interpretation of the Hitman universe.
Boasting 68 unlockable levels, the team at Square Enix Montréal has created a new and unique experience taking aspects of the Hitman universe to create a brand new and distinctive mobile gaming offering. Available for iOS devices and priced at £2.99/$4.99/€4.49, this beautifully rendered diorama-style turn-based puzzle game focuses on forward thinking to progress through challenging levels and stylish freeze frame environments, to challenge even the most accomplished Hitman fan.
‘We wanted to make something unexpected. Something that crystalizes everything “Hitman” in the simplest way possible, while retaining the high class, cool attitude the famous assassin is known for’ said Karsten Lund, Creative Director for Square Enix Montreal. ‘Essentially Hitman is about being behind enemy lines. You have to consider your every move in order to solve the puzzles.
It’s about being undercover, smart and stealthy. We boiled most of the core Hitman mechanics such as disguises, distractions and different weapons, down to the simplest possible game, without losing the fun and tension of its AAA counterpart. The game is set on beautiful diorama like set pieces that makes it feel fresh and cool, and encompasses what we call essence of assassination. Hitman GO releases globally today for iOS devices and will hit the Play Store for Android users very soon.
