Hitman Will Receive Continued Content

With downsizing at IO Interactive recently announced, the future of the company's biggest franchise was in doubt. Fans will be pleased to hear however that HITMAN (2016) will be receiving new content in spite of the firm's troubles.

The first content to arrive is available today and takes the form of an Escalation Contract in Sapienza, as well as another one in Bangkok. The Spaggiari Subversion is the first Escalation Contract on the ‘Landslide’ Bonus Mission and challenges you with 5 different stages. Expect three different targets, some weapon and disguise restrictions and a few other surprises. The Asya Attunement is the fourth Escalation Contract to be added for Bangkok and the five stages include complications involving shotguns, laser tripwires, exterminators, enforcers and kill streaks.

As well as the above, 10 featured contracts, created with the help of the Hitman community, will also be added. The 25th Elusive target (and not the last) will follow, before a special game update at the end of June which has yet to be revealed. Rumours abound suggesting that an offline mode is the mystery content, but rest assured you'll be able to find out here on GameGrin as soon as we know.
