Hitman: Sniper is a 2014 mobile shooting gallery video game set in the Hitman series, made by Square Enix Montreal. As the series' mainstay protagonist, Agent 47, you must use only a sniper rifle to assassinate several powerful figures who have assembled at a snowy lakeside compound without alerting their associates. The player uses the environment to find creative ways to kill these targets, sometimes prompted by secondary objectives. Through mission progression, the player unlocks more powerful weapons, as well as new weapon abilities.The game went Free to Play in 2017, where prior to that point it required spending ~50p on app stores.A sequel to this game; Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, was set to release in late 2021, and was even given an early access release in Brazil and Canada in October 2021. However, full rollout was later delayed following issues with crashes and The dev team citing that they needed more time to complete the game. It prominently features Agents Knight and Stone, the characters seen in the Co-Op portion of Sniper Assassin mode in Hitman 2.

comment
Self-Plagiarism: The "X-Ray" ability on the Izanami rifle is just the Instinct ability from Hitman: Absolution, highlighting enemies for a limited time, but also behaves more like a proto-version of the Instinct system later used in Hitman (2016) and beyond, by highlighting potential parts of the building (like railings and potential traps). It also adds on a specific perk that lets you shoot through walls while it's active, something the main games never offered.

Moon Logic Puzzle: Some of the kill requirements often have you forcibly killing someone in a specific way. Mission 4 of Chapter 2 has you kill Baltasar Cabasso in a way that is worth 55,000XP, but with one bullet. This requires a lot of patience to do if you want to invoke Make It Look Like an Accident, but it can be done even quicker by sniping the cue ball on the pool table and have the optional target nearby take him out for you (The initial shot is 13,000XP, but the kill itself raises the total to 59,300XP).

 Hitman: Sniper (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: The sniper rifles are mostly named after puns, hitman references, gods or goddesses, mythology or history. For a few examples, the "Izanami" rifle is named after the goddess of creation and death from Japanese mythology, the "Narcissus" rifle is named after the hunter of the same name from Greek mythology, while Furia is likely named after the high-ranking ancient Roman gens Furia family. There are loads more, but that gives you a taste of the mythology references in the game.

Moving Target Bonus: A kill shot on a moving target scores extra points (some missions enforce this as a kill condition for the guards). A moving target that gets shot in the head is worth even more.

Immune to Bullets: Averted, as the game encourages finding destructible "accident kills" to kill your targets, and nobody is bulletproof in this game. Literally the case should an evacuation start, as guards can't kill you due to how far away you are.

A.K.A.-47
 Hitman: Sniper (Video Game) / int_c2b28f75
comment
A.K.A.-47: No sniper rifle in this game uses their real life name or moniker, instead being references. Some are nods to Mythology or History (The "Brutus" rifle is named after Roman senator Marcus Junius Brutus), puns (the "Jaeger" rifle means "huntsman" in German) or simply past Hitman games via cryptic references (The Aria Sniper Rifles are a reference to a type of solo voice work done in an opera, which refers to Alvaro D'alvade from Hitman: Blood Money, who was doing this exact thing when he was killed by 47 in "Curtains Down". A method of killing him was timing the gunshot shown onstage with a W2000 sniper shot from up in the viewing box; the W2000 being the same rifle shown here).

 Hitman: Sniper (Video Game) / int_e663d3ef
comment
Only a Flesh Wound. Without the Deadeye perk, no rifle can kill guards instantly, and the guards do not die from you shooting anywhere on their body, unlike the later-released Hitman 2 Sniper Assassin levels. Instead, they will enter a panicked state and will attempt to find the culprit. Usually a second hit kills, and headshots always kill immediately.

Early-Bird Cameo: Diana is voiced by Jane Perry, who would later play Diana starting from Hitman (2016). The "Jaeger" sniper rifle and the "Dragun" sniper rifles are the only two rifles to return in later hitman games, the former beginning from Hitman (2016) (being based on the Barrett MRAD, only purple-grey), and the latter appears as part of the Hitman 3 Deluxe Edition, called "The Golden Dragon", which retains the style of rifle, as well as the inclusion of the shiny dragon head on the snout.
