I/O Interactive is teasing fans this week with the release of a couple of new screenshots for the fifth Hitman, Hitman: Absolution. The two we have here show off Agent 47 taking a look at a barbecue being thrown by Mason Crosby — who you can see in close up in the second image. 

The images are part of a series from the “Hope News Times” marketing that you can find on the Hitman Facebook page.

Agent 47 finds himself hunted by the police and betrayed by those he once trusted in Hitman: Absolution. Somehow he’s been wrapped up in a conspiracy that he needs to end by finding those responsible. He also has some personal revenge to enact.

During CES we got a chance to sit down with the I/O Interactive and play a little bit of Absolution, check that out here.

Hitman: Absolution still doesn’t have a release date beyond “2012” but it will be on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamonroll themed gaming headphones

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
