Hitman Sniper The Shadows release hero

Last year Square Enix announced the follow-up to its Hitman Sniper mobile game at E3, and this past Valentine's Day, we learned that Square would officially launch the game on the Play Store on March 3rd. That's today, and Square has held true to its word as Hitman Sniper: The Shadows is now available on the Play Store. Of course, if you'd like to see how the game plays, we've recorded a gameplay video to illustrate precisely that. So if you've been curious to see Hitman Sniper: The Shadows in action now that it's available on Android, you've come to the right place.

There's a new Hitman Sniper game coming to Android and iOS on March 3rd, so says the Hitman Sniper twitter account. It's called Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, and we first learned about the game in 2021 when Square Enix announced it at E3. Pre-registration begins today, and you can register directly through the official site, or you can hop over to the fresh Play Store listing to pre-reg through Google's system. Hitman Sniper: The Shadows will offer a new story with six playable characters to choose from. Unlike the previous game, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows will land as a free-to-play release.

At this year's E3, Square Enix has announced the follow-up to its successful casual mobile game Hitman: Sniper. It's called Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, and this time around, Agent 47 has gone missing, which means you'll have your pick from five brand new characters tasked with saving Agent 47. Unlike the original, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows will be free-to-play. It's slated for release on Android and iOS sometime later this year.

Welcome, all, to the end of another week. While we continue to dig through all of the good stuff in the Android Q Beta, I thought that you all might appreciate some app sales to pass the time. Today's list has a couple notable items, including Evoland 2 for $0.99 and the fantastic Planescape: Torment. But I won't keep you any longer — have at it and enjoy your weekend.

Free games aren't always good games, but every once in a while you can get both in one. Even better, sometimes paid games become free, at least for a short time. If you've been hankering for a discounted mobile title to play, you're in luck. Hitman Sniper, Square Enix's popular mobile game from the Hitman franchise, is now free for a limited time on the Play Store. 

Square Enix is always in the news on Android Police for good reason. The publisher has been actively releasing (or re-releasing) games on our favorite platform, even recently going as far as to commit to a mobile-first strategy. That's the case with Hitman: Sniper, a game developed specifically for touchscreens and available on Android and iOS starting today.
