Hitman: Absolution features asynchronous multiplayer 'Contracts' mode

Hitman: Absolution will feature an asynchronous multiplayer mode known as "Contracts," IO Interactive revealed at a Gamescom event. Players make their own scenarios, targeting any three characters on a given level with any weapons, and challenging other players to complete the contract in less time (and for more money).

This game is looking better with each new feature revealed.

Sounds interesting basically time trials.

not bad...

adds a bit of replayability

as long as it doesn't take away from the single player.

This is a great idea. Well done IO. Adds replay value with a quick tweak of existing levels.

I doubt this will impact single player at all; it sounds like we'll just have the ability to pick apart the objectives of their pre-established levels (likely requiring players to unlock the levels in advance).
