Last month Io Interactive announced that Hitman would be switching to an episodic format. At the time it seemed a bit peculiar and almost hasty in execution. Today they gave an explanation for the shift to a more episodic release.
As you have read about in our previous blog post, HITMAN will launch on March 11 2016 as a truly episodic game experience with a major live component. The episodic nature of HITMAN allows us to craft both individual stories centred on Agent 47’s targets as well as longer season stories involving 47, Diana Burnwood, the ICA and an entirely new main cast.
The structure is inspired by contemporary TV series’ and will unfold over multiple seasons. To begin with, the overall story and the individual mission stories run in parallel but as the first season progresses, the tracks will merge and become one. – Io Interactive
This news was presented along side a new trailer. The everyday effect of assassination on our lives. A conspiracy of bloodshed best told in mishaps averted.
