Killing is a messy business.  It is also, however, a varied one, as this newest trailer for the forthcoming Hitman: Absolution aims to point out.

You’ll see just what I mean after the break.

Showcasing the frankly staggeringly high number of ways you can do away with your mark, the ‘Tools of the Trade’ trailer for Hitman: Absolution puts the spotlight on both the melee and ranged implements of death that Agent 47 has at his dispoasl.

Showing off everything from a baseball bat, to a sniper rifle, C4 explosives and a range of automatic bullet-spitting loveliness, the trailer does a good job of illustrating the ample creativity that the game encourages for innovating in violence.

See for yourself and take a look at the trailer below:

Hitman: Absolution is due to release worldwide on Xbox 360, PS3 & PC platforms on November 20th of this year.
