Square Enix Montréal™, the award-winning studio behind Hitman Sniper®, and the GO® series, released its newest mobile title, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows. The mobile sniper game is an action, role-playing game set in a wholly original Hitman story.
As a member of The Shadows, players must embark on globe-trotting assignments, take down targets with stealth, engage in fierce competition, and build their reputation as the International Contract Agency (ICA) agents.
Hitman Sniper: The Shadows focuses on events following the disappearance of Agent 47 and follows the story of a group of assassins called The Shadows within the hidden world of assassination where a new criminal network threatens global stability.
Senior Producer for Hitman Sniper: The Shadows commented
Simon Doongoor, Senior Producer for Hitman Sniper: The Shadows at Square Enix Montréal said; “From the onset, our ambition was to deliver a high production value Hitman Sniper experience on mobile in terms of quality graphics, and gameplay, we wanted this game to be the start of something new rather than a sequel. This vision freed us to move in a different direction, such as introducing The Shadows, and allowed us to create a deeper game experience for players.”
Unique Playable Characters
At launch, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows features six sniper assassins, each with their own backstories, play styles, personalities, and abilities. This diversity provides us with more freedom and flexibility in how they approach the game and each contract.
Each assassin is early enough in their careers to allow for a lot of room to grow, giving us the chance to evolve them into ICA agents.
New Locations
The game features new locations, each with different vantage points and time of day, giving us more choices and opportunities to eliminate targets. Each location has unique targets and becomes an exploratory environment, a distinct storytelling space with distinct challenges.
Audran Guerad, Lead Artist for Hitman Sniper: The Shadows at Square Enix Montréal added; “The cinematographic art direction and the high level of details of our maps offer players the most immersive experience possible. We want to be a reference in the sniper market for visually compelling games.”
We are encouraged to manipulate enemies and leverage the environment around us for the perfect shot and are rewarded for our creative kill
Features
- We can play in campaign mode to learn about and eliminate targets while mastering our skills.
- The game also features a PvP mode where we compete against other players to build our reputation. Precision and creativity are key to winning contracts in this mode.
