After teasing a new trailer earlier today for Hitman: Absolution, Square Enix and IO Interactive have revealed an impressive cinematic video showing off the protagonist, Agent 47, as he takes down a group of impressive assassins sent to kill him.

Hitman: Absolution sees Agent 47 on a quest for revenge, going after his former employer, the ICA.

As you can imagine, the shady group isn’t thrilled with the prospect of being hunted down by one of its most effective agents, and has decided to pre-emptively take him down by sending a group of female assassins known only as The Saints.

As you can see in the cinematic video above, however, Agent 47 may be outmanned but he’s never outgunned, as he easily uses his skills to take all the lovely ladies down.

The whole video is filled with impressive moments but, unfortunately, doesn’t really highlight the actual feel of Hitman: Absolution, which is more about stealth and preparation than going in guns-blazing.

Players will be able to finally experience the new game on November 20, when it’s out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
