New Hitman: Absolution E3 trailer released, featuring nuns with guns.

The official E3 trailer for Hitman: Absolution, titled Attack of the Saints, is now out, promoting Agent 47's "extensive appearance" throughout next week's annual convention.

The CGI footage shows 47 dressing his wounds in a run-down motel before being tracked down by a deadly collective called The Saints, a group of sultry femme fatales in nun uniform sent by his former employer the ICA.

Hitman: Absolution was first revealed last year via a teaser trailer. The game is being developed by IO Interactive, who confirmed publicly the title would focus on action and gunplay to a greater degree than previous entries in the series.

Hitman: Absolution launches globally November 20.
