Eidos announced the return of the
world's deadliest assassin in Hitman: Blood Money. Developed by Io-Interactive, Hitman:
Blood Money will be released worldwide in spring 2005 on PlayStation 2, Xbox and
PC.
When assassins from Agent 47's contract agency, The ICA, are systematically
eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a larger, more powerful agency has entered the
fray. For Agent 47 it's business as usual, until suddenly he loses contact with The ICA.
Sensing that he may be the next target, he travels to America, where he prepares to make a
killing.
Agent 47 is back and this time he's paid in cold, hard cash. How the money
is spent will affect his passage through the game and the weapons at his disposal, resulting
in a unique gameplay experience for each player. Powered by a new version of Io's stunning
Glacier engine, Hitman: Blood Money will deliver the most brutal and realistic simulation of
life as the world's deadliest assassin.
Janos Flosser, managing director of
Io-Interactive said Considerable time and effort has been spent developing a new version of
the Glacier engine that enables us to implement many new and exciting features. The quality
of the graphics and A.I. surpasses even our own expectations and this combined with a
gripping narrative and the introduction of some really inventive characters makes us
confident that Blood Money will be the greatest Hitman title to
date.
