Following its official launch on E3 last year, Square Enix has confirmed that Hitman’s new mobile game will be launched on March 3, 2022. Named ‘Hitman Sniper: The Shadows,’ the theme is now ready for pre-registration via the official website again. Google Play Store.
Unlike the previous Hitman Sniper game, Shadows is a free gaming experience, putting players in the shoes of six new assassins; codenamed: Initiative 426. The plot revolves around the disappearance of the bald-headed assassin, the disappearance of Agent 47, which follows ICA head Diana Burnwood launching these new agents to prevent an impending global threat.
However, the gameplay seems to be similar to what we have seen in previous repetitions, where players are given the task of finishing high targets remotely, using a sniper rifle.
At the beginning of each round, you can choose an agent and use their different skills to find creative ways to kill them one by one without being seen. Timing your shooting is a great way to prevent bodies from being found, as they are thrown into trees or trash cans.
As in the past, the sounds of bullets can be used as a distraction to target a particular area or can be poisoned to kill you quickly. According to the Google Play page, there is a PvP (player vs player) game mode online, but it does not mention the number of maps, which was a major problem in the first game, leading to repetitive play.
Pre-game registration offers special prizes at first, although there are limited areas. Hitman Sniper: Shadows will be released on Android and iOS devices.
