Hitman: Absolution Directors’ Commentary Video

Run for your life with the game's directors chatting in your ear.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

Remember when Square Enix debuted a 15 minute video of Hitman: Absolution a few weeks back? Fans were leery of the series heading in a new direction heading into its debut, but it’s hard to argue against the game looking like a lot of fun.

In any case, Square now wants you to revisit the video with Game Director Tore Blystad and Gameplay Director Christian Elverdam walking you through the whole thing and discussing some of the elements of the video and the reasoning behind them. Give it a watch if you’re feeling curious about the game’s new direction.
