Hitman: Sniper Challenge, the special mini-game that’s available as a pre-order bonus for Hitman: Absolution, has received a special behind-the-scenes video that reveals how it went from an internal prototype to a full-fledged experience.
IO Interactive and Square Enix impressed fans of their Hitman franchise with a very special pre-order bonus, in the form of Hitman: Sniper Challenge, a fully playable mini-game that’s now available on PS3 and Xbox 360.
According to this behind-the-scenes video about the experience, Sniper Challenge was just a fun little mini-game designed for the developers at IO Interactive.
It became extremely popular in no time, so the Denmark-based studio decided to turn it into an actual mini-game and offer it to loyal fans who pre-ordered the full-fledged Hitman: Absolution.
