Agent 47 Takes on The Saints in a New Hitman: Absolution Trailer

Agent 47 may be outmanned and outgunned, but he has no problem dispatching these assassins.

Square Enix has released an explosive new CGI trailer of IO Interactive's upcoming title, Hitman: Absolution, which shows Agent 47 as he takes on what appears to be a group of assassins dressed as a group of nuns who ambush him at a motel.

Calling themselves the Saints, these bad girls are armed to the teeth with military grade hardware. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, 47 has no difficulty taking on the crew.

The Saints are presumably one of the many challenging foes the player will have to take on in the game proper, in which 47 is a man hunted by other skilled assassins vying to take his place and make a name for themselves.

Hitman: Absolution will be shown at this year's E3, and is set for release on November 20 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
