A new Hitman game was announed at E3 2015 which will arrive this year. Here's what we know about Hitman Agent 47 including release date, price, pre-order, playforms, betas, exclusives and official trailer.
Confirmed at E3 2015, there's a new Hitman game coming this year and like Doom, it's simply called Hitman featuring Agent 47 and is the sixth game in the series following on from Hitman: Absolution which was released in 2012. Here's what you need to know including the Hitman Agent 47 release date, price, platforms, beta access, exclusives and official trailer.
"This is a true Hitman fantasy, a highly challenging, thinking person's game where creativity is rewarded," said Christian Elverdam, creative director at Io-Interactive. "You have the power and intelligence of Agent 47 at your fingertips and it is your choice whether to use brute force or orchestrate a genuine masterpiece of assassination."
Since the game is called just Hitman it was initially referred to as Hitman 2015, however the delay (see below) means it's now known as Hitman 2016 but also commonly called Hitman Agent 47 which is what we're using.
Hitman Agent 47 release date and delay
If Christmas was a bit disappointing for you, it might be because you had your fingers crossed for a Hitman shaped present under the tree (a game box we mean, not an actual hitman!). Well although the game was due to be released on 8 December, it has been delayed and will now launch on 11 March.
The Hitman Agent 47 delay is to allow IO Interactive additional development time to include more content into the base game - more than was originally planned - and then 'follow with a tighter frequency of updates'.
"Moving a launch date is never an easy decision, we know it’s frustrating to have to wait a bit longer for the game, but we truly believe it will mean we can deliver a better launch and overall experience," said IO.
The game will still debut as a digital release with those aforementioned updates coming throughout the year. A physical release is expected once all the additional content has been created and made available to players.
To give you an idea of the scale, IO has released the following infogram which compares the Paris Showstopper mission to the largest level in Hitman: Absolution. As you can see, it will be six time larger and contain up to 300 targets.
Hitman Agent 47 price, pre-order and platforms
Hitman Agent 47 will launch on PC, Xbox One and PS4 but is currently only available to pre-order on PC and PS4. If you do put your money down now you'll be invited to play the Hitman beta which Sony said would be available on PS4 first with the PC beta arriving a week later. The PS4 version will also have exclusive contracts.
If you want to pre-order on PC, Hitman Agent 47 will cost you £39.99 and you can order via the Square Enix store or Steam. The price on PS4 is a little higher, as usual, and you can pre-order on Amazon for £44.99.
