Hitman 5 is indeed called Hitman: Absolution. According to the official blurb: "Hitman Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he trusted and hunted by the police, he finds himself at the centre of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for the truth."
Absolution has been built "from the ground up" by IO Interactive using its new proprietary Glacier 2 technology. "Boasting a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and highly original game design, Hitman Absolution combines much-loved classic gameplay with completely new features never seen before in the Hitman franchise," Square Enix said.
"For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy," said game director Tore Blystad. "This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world."
ORIGINAL STORY: Square Enix has released the first teaser trailer for upcoming action game Hitman 5.
The teaser depicts a gloved hand affixing a silencer to the end of a pistol. It's Agent 47 – the Hitman series' star.
Then, a rattlesnake sits coiled around the pistol.
And then a barcode: 110706 040147
The 47 turns red – obviously pointing towards Agent 47.
And 110706 – or 7th June 2011 – the day trade show E3 kicks off good and proper.
Square Enix told Eurogamer this evening that an official announcement will be made tomorrow.
What do we know about the IO Interactive-created game?
The PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title has been in development for quite a while. It could be called Hitman: Absolution, judging by a new trademark listing filed by publisher Square Enix last month.
An IO source told us last year that the game was in development and would be out by Christmas 2011 "at the very earliest".
An ARG game hosted on the series' forum earlier this year threw up a possible screenshot from the expected sequel. We now know it was taken from today's teaser trailer, below.
Five images have been uncovered, four of which reference Toronto's CN Tower - the world's tallest building and freestanding structure – in some way. Fans have speculated that the reference could mean Hitman 5 is set in Canada.
The last game in the stealth series, Hitman: Blood Money, came out in 2006 on PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360, scoring 8/10 from Eurogamer's Kristan Reed.
"Blood Money is a fine addition to the Hitman series," he wrote, "boasting significant improvements that make it not only a more rounded, slicker affair, but a more enjoyable one in the long run."
Very excited for this game. I have loved every Hitman game uptil now. Heck I have finished Blood Money 5-6 times! Hitman is my favorite stealth series. Happy to see that they finally announced a new game. I thought they were ditching the Hitman series.

Yeah I don't why many people don't like this series... it's amazing. Especially Blood Money. The amount of freedom that was present in that game was insane. It felt like planning a real assassination

Agent 47 has obviously been turned into a snake and the 1st half of the game is slithering around the amazon to get back into the city and find out how to change back, once you change back you must seek vengeance
...then after that you beat the game you unlock a bunch of contracts where you can decide to play as a snake or as the original 47
Wasnt it Eidos Interactive?
Why is Square Enix releasing the details?
Square enix bought eidos interactive.

The cast of the Square Enix game includes "Cowboys & Aliens" actor Keith Carradine and "White Collar's" Marsha Thomason.
Quote:
Square Enix is taking a Hollywood approach to its fifth installment of IO Interactive's bestselling Hitman action game franchise, Hitman: Absolution, which is due out next year. The Danish game developer worked with a cast of a dozen Hollywood actors who brought their virtual characters to life using both performance capture and voice acting to add a more emotional level of interaction to the game.
Among the cast of actors, Keith Carradine (Cowboys & Aliens) will play the new villain in the game, Blake Dexter. Marsha Thomason (White Collar) will step into the role of Diana Burnwood, who serves as protagonist Agent 47's handler and has a close relationship with the assassin.
"Diana is 47's only true human contact," Thomason said. "They've known each other an extremely long time, and in the Hitman world, she is what Q is to James Bond. So she sets the assignments, tells him where to go and who to kill."
The performance capture was done at Giant Studios, which James Cameron used for Avatar. A first for the game franchise, the developer worked with Hollywood talent to capture complex scenes with up to seven actors on the set at once. Blystad explained that the performance capture scenes focused on the drama that develops as the story unfolds. The new game places more emphasis on the emotional human stories that evolve, which is why they opted to hire Hollywood actors to bring these virtual characters to life.
"We had actors like Marsha and Keith come in and do full-body acting with facial and voice being captured simultaneously in scenes," said Tore Blystad, game director at IO Interactive. "Some of these scenes were very complex with all kinds of props and interactions amongst the actors."
Blystad said the performance capture was more similar to theater work than movies, because there were long takes and once everything was captured, it was on to the next scene.
"The character I play in Hitman: Absolution is as multidimensional as any well-imagined character should be," said Carradine. "The vividness of the world entered by the gamer hinges on detail. To fully engage the attention of the player requires nothing less than the most completely realized universe of geography and personality."
The new game follows Agent 47, a cold-blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he once trusted -- and now hunted by the police -- he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world.
"We've designed a more stylized, more serious, and darker game this time around in both the story line and the visuals," Blystad said. "The hope is that the movie will be going in a similar direction, and then when they both come out they will speak the same language. They won't follow the old Hitman games, but rather go with this newer direction."
With Hitman: Absolution, gamers are in for a cinematic take on the best-selling video game franchise, which has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide since launching in 2000. The fourth game in the franchise, Hitman: Blood Money, has sold more than 2.1 million copies since it shipped in 2007.
"There are more central characters in this game than we've ever dealt with before and they all have names and an important role in the story, so working with Hollywood talent was crucial to us," Blystad added. "It's important within the framework of the game for players to be able to connect with these characters."
Blystad said it was also important that this latest game deliver on the shooting action that the franchise has offered over the years. The drama that pushes the story forward serves as a cinematic layer on top of the core gameplay, which sends Agent 47 on different missions throughout the U.S. A portion of the game takes place in Chicago.
"We've seen the grit and texture and the character-driven context that IO Interactive is going for with Hitman: Absolution and it's our goal to bring Agent 47 back with a vengeance next year in a movie," said Adrian Askarieh, who is producing a second Hitman film with Chuck Gordon and Fox International. Daniel Casey (Jimmy Six) has written the latest draft of the script.
The first Hitman movie earned $100 million at the box office with Timothy Olyphant ("Justified") playing Agent 47. The new installment will have an original story and characters, but will retain the look and feel of the new game.
If all the pieces fall into place, gamers will have both a big screen Hitman adventure and a new video game in 2012.

Hm.. Just Cause meets Hitman? Would be an interesting mix. Pity the Hitman movie was fail.
Yeah that movie sucked ass.
I hope they keep the same formula as the last game. Maybe add some new weapons/gadgets but otherwise Blood Money was almost the perfect Hitman game you can ask for.

Even perfect needs perfection and AC series is good example of that. I expect some new things from this game that I won't think.
