An official press release broke down Hitman Sniper: The Shadows’ description, story, and characters, which you can see right below.
Introducing a wholly original story set in Hitman’s Universe, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows offers
an immersive and competitive sniper experience within the hidden world of assassination,
where a new criminal network threatens global stability. Diana Burnwood, and the International
Contract Agency (ICA), activate Initiative 426, aka The Shadows, a team of highly-skilled
assassins, to eliminate this threat. Featuring Hitman Sniper’s hallmarks of manipulating enemies
and the environment to their advantage, as a member of The Shadows, players must take down
high-level international targets, build their reputation, and evolve themselves into their own
version of a Hitman Sniper.
Agent 47’s whereabouts are unknown. A new threat to global stability has emerged. This
criminal network is responsible for a series of violent attacks and crimes around the world.
Diana Burnwood activates Initiative 426, aka The Shadows, a team of highly skilled assassins. It
is now up to Soji, Kiya, Kolzak, Knight, and Stone to eliminate this threat. As a member of The
Shadows, you must take down high-level international targets, build your reputation, and evolve
into your own version of a Hitman Sniper.
