Ahead of E3 2012 in Los Angeles next week, Square Enix and IO Interactive have sent out a teaser image for an upcoming Hitman: Absolution trailer, due for release tomorrow.

The all-new Hitman: Absolution E3 2012 trailer goes live this afternoon (May 30th) and, judging by the teaser image, we can expect to see an all-female squad of soldiers and/or assassins featured in the video:

Will series protagonist Agent 47 have to defeat this collective during the events of Hitman: Absolution? Perhaps work with the crew to complete objectives? Does the image point to a different game mode entirely, or even multiplayer or co-operative play?

We’ll find out later today, but you’re free to speculate until then.

Hitman: Absolution is due out on November 20th around the world, across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC – and we’re very excited for it!
