Get Behind The Scope In Hitman: Sniper Challenge Dev Diary

Hitman: Absolution is coming out November 20, but that doesn't mean you can't play as Agent 47 before then. The game has a pretty snazzy preorder bonus, which is a sniper-based minigame. The guys at IO Interactive have released a new developer diary that shows how they came up with the idea of releasing the Hitman: Sniper Challenge.

The team originally conceived the challenge as a bit of a goof, but realized they were onto something when people in the office got hooked on it. Rather than incorporate it into Hitman: Absolution, they decided to give it away as a preorder bonus. Take a look at the video below to see the game in action, or check out our recent Test Chamber.
