Hitman Absolution’s Deus Ex DLC augments Agent 47 (and makes him look ridiculous)


Hitman Absolution seems set to become the next game to feel the full force of Square Enix’s bizarre obsession with cross-game promotion. After shoehorning practically every one of their franchises intoSleeping Dogs, the company has now released Deus Ex DLC for Agent 47′s sort-of-assassination adventure.
The Adam Jensen disguise and handgun microtransactions (purchases sold separately, batteries not included) add a silenced pistol and cyborg costume into Contracts mode. None of which is going to fix the many problems that Tom had when he reviewed the game.
It does make you wonder what’s next in SE’s tireless campaign to tie all of their games together in increasingly silly ways. I’m hoping that future costumes for 47 include the traditional Lara Croft tanktop, or that they look to one of their Japanese titles and dress him up as a miserable teenager with a giant sword and shit hair. Any better ideas?
