It's safe to say that quite a lot of people are excited about the upcoming Hitman: Absolution stealth shooter title, what with its extremely popular predecessors, so its developer, IO Interactive, has released a massive video, 17-minutes long, complete with commentary from members of its team.

The Hitman series earned a cult-like following with its first titles, managing to deliver great experiences that rewarded many play styles but always emphasized stealth over going in guns blazing, unlike many traditional shooters.

Now, the team at IO Interactive is working hard on a new installment, Hitman: Absolution, which delivers new adventures for the protagonist, Agent 47, as well as some major improvements over its predecessors.

In order to properly showcase these changes, the developer has presented a 17-minute video with gameplay from the title, as well as with commentary from its game director, Tore Blystad, and its gameplay director, Christian Elverdam.

Enjoy the footage above and expect Hitman: Absolution to appear sometime in 2012.
