Edit: Nope, thankfully fake.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This comes from a sketchier source than I normally like to use, namely, a user blog from GameReactor. I decided to check around TinEye, a bunch of other sites, and the official Eidos channels, and none of them have deemed it fake yet despite it being out for a while. Also, this sounds enough like other franchise reboots that, when combined with the quality of the rumored promotional poster, I thought it was believable enough to be worth posting.

Written by Mr. Clint 2010-10-31 02:51
I talked with an old high school friend over the weekend. He currently lives in Denmark and is a freelancer in the gaming side Eurogamer.dk. In a few weeks, he wrote cryptic messages and teasers to me. Yesterday, I finally know what it was about: Hitman 5. Or just hitman, the game apparently will be called.
Eurogamer comes during the month of December to do an exclusive revelation of the game, but you loved Clint is here to deliver the good news for a month in advance. Because I love you. And the hitman. As only the. Here are the summarized candy:
Reboot the entire series and Agent 47
Agent 47 now has stubble!
Strong focus on story
47's "assignments" are open missions [like] in previous games
The game also contains elements [when] 47 [is not] on assignments. These parts are more linear and are firearm-focused, cover, etc.
The game is developed parallel to the other hitman movie
You will get to play as more than 47 during the game, including a female assassin
David Bateson borrow again the voice of 47
