According to Square Enix, while the game is not developed by IO Interactive, it's a "wholly original" Hitman story, and presumably cannon, not that many Hitman fans care about the integrity of the Hitman cannon, as the series isn't known for its story, but gameplay.

"From the onset, our ambition was to deliver a high production value Hitman Sniper experience on mobile in terms of quality graphics, and gameplay," said Simon Doongoor, Senior Producer for Hitman Sniper: The Shadows at Square Enix Montreal, while speaking about the game. "We wanted this game to be the start of something new rather than a sequel. This vision freed us to move in a different direction, such as introducing The Shadows, and allowed us to create a deeper game experience for players."

Below, you can read more about the game and check out its official launch trailer:

"Enter the hidden world of assassination and become The Shadows, a team of highly-skilled sniper," reads an official pitch of the game. "Embark on globetrotting assignments, eliminate targets with stealth and creativity, engage in fierce competition, and build your reputation as the International Contract Agency (ICA) Elite Agents!"
