Hitman Absolution GamesCom Trailer Showcases Contracts Mode

Square-Enix and IO Interactive announced the new online multiplayer mode for Hitman Absolution, and now they’ve released a trailer showcasing it in finer detail.

Essentially, Contracts lets you create and share your own custom hits, where you can adjust the level, targets, weapons rules of the contract based on time, style and witnesses. Being an asynchronous mode, you can apparently compete against friends at any time, regardless of their state.

Of course, to start you off, there will be plenty of pre-set Contracts to play, designed by the very kind folks at IO Interactive.
