It's been more than a while since we got to lay our hands on a new Hitman game, but the new Hitman: Absolution trailer at the VGAs last night reminded us that we're not going to have to wait much longer.

The video shows zero gameplay, but it's pretty compelling nonetheless. One question it brings up is who Victoria is—the name is whispered about two thirds the way through, and given it's the only dialogue in the entire trailer, we imagine it's significant.
