Square launches 'Barcode Society' Hitman community

Square Enix has today announced the launch of a new Hitman community portal, known as the Barcode Society. The website will provide the latest news on the franchise, as well as a behind-the-scenes glimpse to those working on the series, insight looks behind the development of AAA games and "cool assets, exclusive competitions and other goodies that you can’t find anywhere else."

The community launch comes ahead of IO's Absolution, coming later this year for PS3, 360 and PC. Recent upstart Square Enix Montreal is also working on a Hitman project that's thought to be for next-gen systems.
