MONTREAL (December 11, 2015) – Square Enix Montréal has released a new free holiday-themed update for its competitive mobile shooter, Hitman: Sniper on the App Store (coming to Android soon). The free Sniper DLC, titled “Merry Hitmas” includes festive new weaponry, challenges, decor and music. The award-winning studio also announced a “Hitman Essentials” iOS game bundle, which includes both Hitman: Sniper and Hitman GO for $5.99 USD, available on the iOS App Store for a limited time only.
Hitman: Sniper’s new “Merry Hitmas” update brings the holiday spirit to Montenegro, with presents and seasonal decorations scattered throughout the city. The update also introduces “The Merry Maker” – a new sniper rifle that shoots a variety of festive ammunition. From bullets that freeze NPCs to death before shattering them into pieces, to deadly presents that lure NPCs in before delivering a deadly explosion, this new rifle is a merry addition to Agent 47’s in-game arsenal.
Hitman GO was honored for Best Game Design and Best iOS Game in the 2014 Canadian Videogame Awards, and Hitman: Sniper has followed suit, recently winning the award for Best Technology in 2015.
About Hitman: Sniper

About Hitman Go
Hitman GO is a turn-based strategy game where you will strategically navigate fixed spaces on a grid to avoid enemies, infiltrate well-guarded locations and take out your target on beautifully rendered diorama-style set pieces.
