Hitman debut episode released

Square Enix and Io-Interactive have announced that the new Hitman game has launched.

The new Hitman starts with the Prologue and a Paris location on March 11, followed by the next location, set in Italy releasing in April and then Morocco releasing in May. From there the game will get regular monthly content updates, including three additional locations; Thailand, the United States and the season conclusion in Japan later in 2016.

The first Escalation Contract is in the game today, with the next one scheduled for Tuesday 16 March. These are in-game contracts created by Io-Interactive which gradually increase in difficulty the more you play them.

And the first Elusive Target will appear in the game at some point in the next ten days. These are targets who appear for a limited time only, the first one will be live for 48 hours in the game. This is a new character with bespoke dialogue and behavior in the game. Players will only receive their Elusive Target briefing once the new character has entered their location.

The Intro Pack is available today priced at $15. Each subsequent location will be priced at $10 as an add-on item to the Intro Pack. If players buy the Intro Pack but then want to get into everything the Full Experience offers, they can also choose to buy the Upgrade Pack for $50. Alternatively, players can buy the Full Experience up front for $60, also available today. This includes all of this year’s content as it’s released, and guarantees not to miss any live or bonus content.

A disc version of Hitman will ship in January 2017.

Hitman is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
