Hitman: Codename 47

Death Can Strike Anyone...for the Right Price.

As the enigmatic Hitman, you must use stealth and tactical problem solving to enter, execute and exit your assignment with minimum attention and maximum effectiveness. For a price, you have access to the most devious devices, but how you use them will determine if you retire as a millionaire or get permanently retired.

The Hitman is the world's most accomplished and wealthy assassin; however, he is plagued by a troubling past of deception and genetic butchery. The ingenious story will evolve over five chapters of heart-stopping action. Remember, the world of contract hits rewards a quick intellect more than a quick trigger finger.

Die erste Kugel ist immer seine letzte

ERHÄLTLICH ENDE NOVEMBER

Jeder Auftrag verlangt Präzision und Planung. Achte auf die tödlichen Details ● Ein Hinterhalt ist besser als tausend Kugeln. Unterschätze nie die künstliche Intelligenz deiner Gegner ● Sei ein Meister der Verwandlung. Die Kleidung deiner Opfer kann dich tarnen, um deine Mission geheim zu halten und Zeit zu gewinnen. ● Ferngezündete Autobombe oder eine simple Klaviersaite – die Situation sollte entscheiden, welche deiner 25 Waffen zum Einsatz kommt
