Coming off his big screen debut, Agent 47 is ready to return to games later this year with his next effort, simply titled "Hitman." Originally announced at E3 2015, Square Enix and IO Interactive are now offering a glimpse of what the actual game looks like with 15 minutes of footage.

The demo opens in Paris, with Agent 47 on the hunt for fashion mogul/IAGO agent, Viktor Novikov. It then shows that players can take their weapon of choice into each stage, ranging from stealthy to not-so-subtle. Just as with the Hitman series as a whole, the objective is to blend in as much as possible before finding the right time to strike.

IO Interactive states that the stages will be the largest in series history. Get a look at the locales, as well as the reactive NPCs, in the video below. Hitman is coming soon to PC and next-gen consoles, with PlayStation 4 set to get the game's first beta.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
