I don't know if anyone here has already pre-ordered the new Hitman game, but if you did, than by now you know that most pre-orders have been cancelled by IO interactive and are being refunded.
The reason for this is IO interactive has taken a new direction to release their new game. Well the new direction seems to be that the new Hitman game will be episodic.
The developer said this way they:
“We’ll be able to craft a long story arc that spans multiple games while at the same time crafting smaller arcs and stories that will find their conclusions within each game,” explains IO. “We will get the chance to craft missions and revisit locations in ways that we’ve never been able to do before.”
The game will still launch on March 11th and that initial launch will include the Prologue and the Paris location.
The next location is set in Italy, and will be released in April and then Morocco will release in May. From there they will keep monthly content updates coming, including the three additional locations they have already announced; Thailand, the US and Japan.
The base game which includes Prologue and Paris will be priced at $15. Every next location can be purchased for $10 as an add-on item after you buy the base game. If you want to buy the full game, which is the complete first season, it will cost $60 as always promised.
While this new way of releasing the game seems kind of silly it gives us the chance to buy the base game and see if we like it, and if we would like to invest more money into the game.
