A trademark application for "Hitman: Absolution," submitted by Square Enix, is under review by OHIM, the European Union's trademark and designs registry. The
filing has been classified under "video game software," indicating that it could be the title of the next
Hitman game.
Following years of shaky updates on the status of IO Interactive's fifth
Hitman installment, a recent ARG
pointed to an unveiling at E3 this June. If "Absolution" is indeed
the name of the game, then expect to see Agent 47 finally wash all that blood off his hands. Wait -- he's been wearing gloves, hasn't he?
Never mind.
