THE BUZZ: Square-Enix has revealed the Professional Edition for Hitman: Absolution.

This special edition comes in a clamshell box and includes a hardcover art book, a behind the scenes DVD and some in-game guns.

“The Agency Jagd P22G pistol will suit the silent assassins, whilst the Agency HX UMP SMG and the Agency SPS 12 semi-automatic shotgun will give Agent 47 the power to fight his foes head on,” the publisher explains.

Square-Enix failed to provide a price. The edition will be available in North America and European territories.

EGM’s TAKE: Now this is what a special edition should be like, not some crazy, over the top, expensive thing with a jacket included. Probably the most useful part of this edition are the extra weapons, the other items are nice, but they don’t really add anything to the game. Art books generally are of a very high quality and are good to flick through, but most will ever look at it once.
