Stalk your targets through elaborate environments that reward both quick thinking and patient planning. Strike silently from the shadows, or let your silverballers do the talking — whatever your approach, each of Absolution’s 20 missions is a contract killer’s happy hunting ground.

SIGNATURE STYLE Blend into the background, kill silently, and disappear without trace, or go in all guns blazing! Absolution’s missions invite you to experiment, improvise and perfect your technique.
