Another New Hitman Game in the Works?

Square Enix officially showed off its next entry in the Hitman saga, titled Hitman: Absolution, earlier this year at E3. Absolution is still in development, headed for a 2012 release, but it looks like it may not be the only Hitman game on the horizon.

Siliconera managed to dig up a recent trademark filing, entered on the 22nd of December, for the name Hitman: Profession. The trademark was filed by Square Enix Europe, and some media outlets believe this could be the title of an all-new Hitman game to follow Absolution.

The fact that Square Enix Europe filed the trademark casts a bit of doubt on another new game – the company could just be registering an alternate title for Absolution. Then again, it’s pretty late in the game to be filing trademarks on a game that’s been in the works for months, so perhaps it is indeed yet another Hitman game. We know that Square Enix Montreal is working on one, so maybe that’s what’s up.

There’s really not much information beyond the initial filing. Hell, it could be a movie title for all we know.

What do you think Hitman: Profession will be?
