Io-Interactive have today dropped details as to the full release of Hitman, along with a confirmed, set-in-stone release date.
Arriving on Xbox One, PS4 and PC as a digital download come March 11th 2016, Hitman will come at a slightly lower than normal price point. It’ll come complete with all content, access to live events and with preorders guaranteeing access to the beta. You’ll then be able to pick up a full retail disc unit later in the year. Hitman will give you the opportunity to perform contract hits on powerful, high-profile targets in exotic locations around the world in a creative stealth action game.
Whilst we only have dollar prices, we’d hope to be seeing these prices translate well in the UK and European market. £59.99, will see players get access to all the above, whilst a cheaper $34.99 option will include all launch day content, with a $29.99 upgrade option dropping the rest of the content options.
Full details as follows…
- Initial launch content on March 11, 2016 will include: Three huge sandbox locations: Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh; Six campaign missions with 40 unique ways to take out your main targets; Contracts mode[4] for all locations with around 800 potential targets
- Post launch content will include: One new sandbox location per month in April, May and June; Thailand in April, USA in May and Japan in June; Each location will come with additional missions, signature kills and more Contracts targets; New locations will open up new weapons, tools and disguises for all locations; Contracts mode for all locations
- Live content begins on 11 March, 2016 and will include: Weekly live events – including targets which will appear one-time-only for limited time only; Weekly Io-Interactive developer team created Contracts; Monthly promoted best community created Contracts; New items such as weapons and disguises
“We’ve had a lot of feedback since we announced HITMAN that has helped us shape these next steps,” said Hannes Seifert, studio head at Io-Interactive. “It’s important that we listen to fans and that we’re open with what we’re doing. So today we’re sharing details on our release plan and we’re announcing something the community has asked for: a new price to enter the game at launch.”
