Hitman: Sniper Challenge revealed, Absolution coming November 20

Square Enix has just revealed that they'll be offering one of the coolest pre-order bonuses we've ever seen at GameStop during the lead up to the release o🥀f Hitman: Absolut🍸ion.

While most companie💞s are trying to figure out what sorts of things video gamers like to have in their pre-order packages (maybe it's💮 art books, or statues, or keychains!), Square Enix has found the most elegant solution of all: another video game!

will receive a download code for Hitman: Sniper Challenge, which tasks you with taking out a mark (and all his bodyguards) from a rooftop.

While the game experience doesn't sound very extensive, you will receive we♛apon upgrades for future playthroughs. Some of which will even stick with you when you start playing𓂃 Absolution. Moreover, the top snipers will be tracked via a leaderboard and flown out to Denmark to meet the Absolution development team.

Hitman: Sniper Challengeꦰ has its crosshairs set on May 15, while🀅 Hitman: Absolution is currently targeting a November 20, 2012 release date.
