We may not know Hitman: Absolution's release date, though it's currently expected to meet its 2012 target, but we do know now that it'll feature a Collector's Edition to go alongside the standard $59.99 copy. The special edition, dubbed the "Professional Edition," was announced earlier this week, along with several retailer-specific pre-order incentives. 

According to the press release, the Professional Edition will feature a premium hardcover art book with a foreword from Game Director Tore Blystad, an exclusive behind-the-scenes “making of” video, and an extensive amount of in-game DLC all packaged in a sleek clamshell case.

Square Enix also detailed the pre-order incentives in the press release, all of which can be seen below (more are expected to be announced, though, by the end of the month):

Amazon

• Bartoli Custom Pistol – An engineered precision weapon, complete with sight and silencer.

Best Buy

• Bronson 1928M SMG – A classic submachine gun with high fire rate and deadly stopping power.

GameStop
