Hitman: Sniper Challenge and Gyromancer have been added to Square Enix's free-to-play Core Online platform, the company announced today. The ad and subscription-supported platform now boasts six games in all, including Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Tomb Raider Underworld, Hitman: Blood Money, and Mini Ninjas.
Square Enix blamed lower-than-predicted sales of Hitman: Absolution, Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider for unexpected losses in the last financial year as it launched a costly restructuring, yet it seemed the games weren't selling particularly poorly. So how high were Squeenix's expectations? Arguably unrealistic, it had forecast sales figures about a third higher than the games actually managed.

Hitman: Absolution has gotten its own free companion app, Square Enix announced today. The "Hitman: ICA" app lets you buy and upgrade weapons, queue up Contracts, and get in-game hints.
Developer and publisher Square Enix has changed its positive predictions for the current financial year from a healthy profit to a crippling loss, and announced plans to bring in expensive reforms and restructuring. Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution, and Tomb Raider all failed to meet high sales expectations. The company had forecast a net profit of around $37 million for the fiscal year, which ends March 31, but has now revised that to be a whopping $138 million loss. Ouch.
Steam's holiday sale has started up, and is set to last through January 5. Today's initial offerings offer deals on a few games and the entire library of some series. These come alongside Flash Sales, a community vote for the next sale game, and various publisher packs.
Hitman creator IO Interactive is moving onto something new after Hitman: Absolution, with the series continuing at Square Enix's new Montreal studio. But how will this crazy arrangement work, and who will shape the future of Hitman? IO has answered a few questions.
Hitman: Absolution's Contracts mode was supposed to be locked off behind a single-use code included with new copies, but no longer. All and sundry will be able to challenge their chums, no code required, to match their feats of killing men in a way of their choosing.
Hitman: Absolution is nearly everything I want from a video game. It's beautiful, big, and an absolute blast to play. While far from perfect, the addictive stealth gameplay of Hitman kept me coming back for more. IO Interactive has crafted a game filled with so many interesting sandboxes to play in, that it's hard not to come back over and over again, long after the credits have rolled.
Hitman: Absolution is just around the corner, and Square Enix is drawing its promotional blitz to a close with the final launch trailer. It's full of quick cuts to the story, some token murders, and even the controversial "sexy nuns."
For someone who is supposed to stay unseen, Codename 47 is being spotted quite a bit lately in new trailers pushing the upcoming release of Hitman: Absolution. The latest trailer asks if you have the instincts for his job.
Hitman: Absolution will be out in less than three weeks, and Square Enix has released a new trailer showing off the "living, breathing world" of the game. Well, there are parts that aren't living and breathing so much after 47 has his way with them.
There is something unnerving about seeing him kill someone and then use their face to open a secure elevator.
The Hitman games tend to rack up a high body count, with the conceit that it's justified for some greater good. But when you get right down to it, you are straight-up murdering dozens of people, sometimes just to save one life. The newest trailer for Hitman: Absolution asks if that's justifiable.
Host Garnett Lee is away this week to attend the Nite to Unite charity event, but Jeff Cannata, Jeff Mattas are joined by special guest Xav de Matos from Joystiq to talk about a whole bunch of current and upcoming video game releases. Chris Roberts' Star Citizen project gets some love, as do Dishonored and Hitman: Absolution, and Cannata explains his growing excitement for the WiiU launch lineup, after having had some more hands-on time with the system. Finishing Moves wraps up the show proper, followed by another brief TailGate session.
Agent 47 has always been a budding fashionista, with his classic sharp suits and an impressive array of costumes covering every fancy dress party conceivable. His wardrobe will expand again in Hitman: Absolution, a new trailer shows, with disguises from judge and cop to luchador and, yes, chicken once again.
Hitman: Absolution introduces a new 'Instinct' ability to the assassinate 'em up series, which can highlight enemies, predict their movements, give hints, and even directly drop suspicion. Fear not, gentle people who grumble and gripe about the babyfication of video games, with five difficulty levels you can tone Instinct down or do away with it entirely to show us all how hardcore you are.
