Eidos has announced that "Hitman: Blood Money" has been shipped to retail stores in North America and is now available.

"Money talks, and silence pays... however today is not a day to remain silent because Hitman: Blood Money is shipping to retailers throughout North America today! The latest installment of the popular Hitman franchise is finally here, and the world’s deadliest assassin is ready to make a killing. Agent 47 comes equipped with some brand new moves and a full arsenal of upgradeable weaponry which puts the control in your hands, allowing you to determine the best way to make the hit. These new features coupled with the new Blood Money system, which allows characters in future missions to react to Agent 47 based on how well he stays out of the spotlight, guarantee that Hitman: Blood Money will be the best game that the franchise has seen yet!

But that is not all because today we also have a brand new gameplay video for you to feast your eyes on! Everyone knows that to be a successful hitman, you don’t just have to make the hit, you have to cover your tracks as well. It is not easy to stay in business when your face is on the front of every newspaper! This latest gameplay video showcases how Agent 47 deals with pesky things like video cameras, surveillance teams, and people who may have just seen a bit too much... and when your reputation is on the line, it doesn’t matter how brutal you are, it only matters that you get the job done."
