Hitman: Absolution • THE WEAKEST LINK (Silent Assassin/Purist)
5The original assassin is back! Betrayed by the Agency and hunted by the police, Agent 47 finds himself pursuing redemption in a corrupt and twisted world.
― DETAILS ―――
After successfully retrieving his Silverballers, Agent 47 makes his way to where the bartender he met when he first arrived in town said Lenny Dexter could be found: downtown Hope. It is here that Lenny's gang, the Hope Cougars, are nested.
In order to extract the location of Victoria and simultaneously thwart the Cougars' plan to conspire against Dexter Industries, 47 takes it upon himself to eliminate their entire roster.
Lenny meets a different fate than his cohorts: since he can't talk if he's dead, 47 opts to kidnap him instead.

― DEVELOPMENT ―――
Though plans to continue the Hitman franchise were first announced in 2007, it was not until May 2009 that Eidos confirmed the game was in development. Certain plot details for the game were rumored in 2009, stating that the game's story would lead Agent 47 to a low point from which he would have to rebuild himself.
On April 20, 2011 Square Enix filed the trademark for the name Hitman: Absolution in Europe, leading sites to speculate that it would be the name of the fifth Hitman game.
On May 10, 2011 a teaser trailer was released, confirming the title: Hitman Absolution. The short, 27 second trailer, briefly showed Agent 47 attaching a silencer and a rattle snake coiled around his Silverballer pistol. It has been reported the game will be "familiar and yet a significantly different experience from other Hitman games."
Keith Carradine has been hired to play the main villain, Blake Dexter. Marsha Thomason will voice Diana Burnwood, 47's traditional voice actor, David Bateson, was originally replaced, but it was later confirmed that he would be returning to voice 47. Jesper Kyd will not return to compose the soundtrack.
On May 10, 2012 a blog at Barcode Society officially unveiled the release date of Hitman: Absolution as November 20, 2012 and introduced Hitman: Sniper Challenge, a stand-alone Gamestop pre-order bonus for PS3 and Xbox 360.
On May 30, 2012, IOI released E3 2012 trailer, called Attack of the Saints, showing Agent 47 against The Saints, a special team of assassins sent by ICA to kill him. The trailer received criticism for depicting the nuns in a sexual manner, which prompted Tore Blystad to apologize for the problem in an E3 interview.
On August 28, 2012, IO announced that David Bateson, who wasn't scheduled to voice 47 in Absolution, will be returning to the franchise after all.
