Square Enix has trademarked the title Hitman: Profession, suggesting the company may be preparing to get brandin' on another caper's worth of baldness and piano-wire.

The new listing was unearthed by Siliconera, which also points out that the company's been focused on building its stable of prestige franchises since an unenviable turnout during the dire first quarter of last year.
