Hitman: Blood Money - Agent 47 sets his sights on 26th May
Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and
developers of entertainment software, today confirms that
Hitman: Blood Money will be released across PAL territories
on 26th May 2006 on Xbox 360, PC, PS2 and Xbox.
Hitman: Blood Money is the latest installment in the
notorious assassination series, developed by IO Interactive,
and takes killing for money to a whole new level.
When assassins from Agent 47's contract agency, The ICA, are
systematically eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a
larger, more powerful agency has entered the fray. For Agent
47 it's business as usual, until suddenly he loses contact
with The ICA. Sensing that he may be the next target, he
travels to America, where he prepares to make a
killing.
