Eidos,
one of the world's leading publishers and developers
of entertainment software, today announced that
its highly-anticipated, action-stealth game Hitman:
Contracts, developed by IO Interactive, has shipped
to stores across North America for the PlayStation(R)2
computer entertainment system, the Xbox(R) video
game system from Microsoft and the PC and will
be available at retail beginning April 21, 2004
in North America. "Hitman: Contracts serves as
Eidos' largest North American video game launch
since 1998," said Rob Dyer, president of Eidos
US. "We are very pleased with the excellent work
IO interactive have done to further establish
Hitman as one of the premier video game brands."
Hitman:
Contracts delivers more action-packed and suspenseful
missions, with a greater variety of ways to make
the perfect hit and an increased arsenal of firearms
and close-combat weapons. A new graphics engine
showcases Hitman's "work" in brutal detail and
brings new locations to life. An improved control
system and more gradual learning curve will ensure
that the game is accessible to all aspiring hitmen.
Hitman:
Contracts takes you into the mind of Agent 47,
the most ruthlessly efficient contract killer
in history. The game begins in Paris as Agent
47 finds himself in a trapped in what is a dangerous
situation, even for him. Hitman: Contracts explores
the dark psychology of killing for a living and
promises to be the darkest, most disturbing episode
in the series.
