First Screenshot of Hitman 5

Welcome back 47

For the last three weeks, members of the Hitman Forum website have been following a breadcrumb trail in a Hitman ARG (alternate reality game). All their efforts had led them to the first released screenshot from the upcoming Hitman 5 game. The users have also discovered that we will be able to learn more about the IO Interactive and Edios game at this summer’s E3 convention. Save and Quit will be there and post any and all updates on Hitman 5.

A timeline of the info found from the members of the forum leading them to the screenshot and info of E3:

“14/2/11: Ol’good Фелло Acid Burn shared with the community his “accidental” finding on a film festival catalogue. The early scepticism has been swepped away by Nick’s succesful efforts to “nourish” the gate, and HF detective machine got on the move.

25/2/11: First mail sent by PM in response to the info request. First speculations on the incomplete phone number (Toronto area), game scripts and a possible date, that looks to be the third of march.

3/3/11: 2nd pic sent by PM; artworks, coords and incomplete phone number still point at Toronto, precisely at the Exhibition Place facilities, where Wizard World Comic Con is about to take place. Also, Kotti and themurder2k5 supposed a possible link between the barcodes in the first 2 pics: after crossing them, they seem to indicate a date, 11/07/?? (yy/dd/mm), possibly aiming at the next Electronic Entertaiment Expo.

18/3/11: 3rd pic sent by PM; still Toronto recalls, plus a “06″ present on the new barcode, therefore confirming the E3 speculation. Still something else to sort out to have a clear overview.”
