This isnвЂ™t a taster piece or companion app developed for Facebook, Flash or smart phone, this is a polished product with art assets, voice work and game-play concepts from the final game, developed by members of IOвЂ™s core team and into which a substantial amount of time and effort has been invested. Moreover, Sniper Challenge will offer a first run-out of IOs new Glacier 2 game engine and, as such, is representative of the quality Hitman: Absolution.

The development of Hitman: Sniper Challenge is important for a number of reasons, not least because when it launches for PS3 and 360 on Tuesday May 15 it will be accessible some six months prior to Hitman: AbsolutionвЂ™s recently confirmed worldwide release of November 20 this contrasts sharply with most pre-order bonuses that are only useful once the game they accompany has launched. The Danish developer is offering those that pre-order Hitman: Absolution a stand-alone game-play experience in the form of Hitman: Sniper Challenge and whilst in the US this offer is limited to behemoth retailer GameStop, PAL territories will have a much greater choice of where to shop. IO Interactive is attempting a different approach. Instead, it seems more realistic to surmise that these offers simply capture the attention of the avid fans that are going to pre-order a game based on other factors a pre-existing passion for the franchise, a well-orchestrated marketing campaign or perhaps even glowing previews in the specialist press. However, for the most part it seems unlikely that these trinkets, virtual or otherwise, do much to actively incentivise those that had no intention of pre-ordering in the first place. The retailer, able to boast an exclusive вЂ“ albeit slight вЂ“ variation on other retailersвЂ™ offerings, promotes the title more heavily than it otherwise might, which in-turn leads to increased sales and so everyone wins.Д®veryone, that is, except the consumer, who would actually quite like it if all of the parts of the game theyвЂ™re paying money for were in one place not scattered to the four winds and across half-dozen retailers. In recent years, this desire to raise awareness of upcoming titles has led to increasingly regular deals being struck between publishers and retailers that result in retailer-specific pre-order content: a plastic figurine, here time-limited exclusive DLC, there. Most must look to a big bang approach, making as much noise as possible leading up to launch in order to score impressive short term sales success, which can then be built upon through positive word of mouth and the periodic release of downloadable content. You will be able to enjoy Hitman Absolution without having played the Sniper Challenge.ДЇew publishers can hope to enjoy the prolonged longer term sales of a FIFA, Call of Duty or Zumba Fitness title. Hitman: Sniper Challenge is stand-alone content that has no gameplay ties to Absolution. Players will also have the opportunity to unlock a further 12 weaponвЂ™s techniques. Playing the Sniper Challenge will reward the Silenced Agency Kazo TRG for use in Hitman: Absolution.
