Another Day, Another Target
Fresh off the release of Hitman: Game of the Year edition, it looks like developers IO Interactive are already hard at work on the next instalment of Agent 47’s silently murderous adventures.
According to an article on Eurogamer –
IO Interactive has confirmed that there’s a new Hitman game in the works.
“We’re making great progress,” IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said of the next Hitman in a post celebrating the launch of Hitman’s Game of the Year edition, “We have exciting new features and some franchise firsts, which we can’t wait to tell you all about.”
That’s all the news we’re getting for the moment though it seems, “We don’t plan to start talking about that until some point in 2018,” explained Abrak.
Hitman’s Game of the Year edition includes everything released as part Hitman’s first season, plus a new four-mission Patient Zero campaign (set in slightly reworked versions of existing stages), three new Escalation Contracts, three new weapons, three new outfits, and 40 challenges specific to the new campaign.
If you already own Hitman’s complete first season on PC, PS4, or Xbox One, you can pay to upgrade to the Game of the Year Edition. That upgrade looks to cost around £15, with slight variations depending on platform.
“I also want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you, in advance, to everyone who supports us by purchasing the GOTY Edition or the Upgrade,” Abrak said in his post, “Your support will directly help us to continue on our independent journey towards the next Hitman game and beyond. We’re in this together and we promise that we will channel our passion and skills to shine through in everything that comes from this studio.”
We have no idea if its a second season, some other kind of continuation of 2016’s Hitman or a totally different beast, but lets hope it once again captures the thrills that it capture in earlier titles like Bloody Money.
