An Upcoming Game Release

Hitman-Absolution (November 2012)

 Hitman: Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold-blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he once trusted -- and now hunted by the police -- he suddenly finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world. Boasting a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and highly original game design, Hitman: Absolution combines much-loved classic gameplay with features never seen before in the Hitman franchise. 

Several characters involved in the Hitman: Absolution.

• Agent 47
• Diana Burnwood
• Agent Smith
• Blake Dexter
• Lenny "The Limp" Dexter
• Benjamin Travis
• Victoria
• Wade

How many Hitman games were there?

Including Hitman Absolution, five. They are:

• Hitman Codename 47 (PC only)
• Hitman: Silent Assassin (PC, Playstation 2, Xbox)
• Hitman: Contracts (PC, Playstation 2, Xbox)
• Hitman: Blood Money (PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360)
• Hitman: Absolution (PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360) 

This game, although not being a "Call Of Duty" or "Halo", looks like a solid game and seems to vary the usual "shoot and kill" aspects of a traditional First Person Shooter. Being the fifth instalment in the series, you would expect it do have died down slightly, however interest still seems to be high and I expect this game to do reasonably well.
