Hitman: Game of the Year Edition announced

Due out on November 7.

IO Interactive has announced Hitman: Game of the Year Edition for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will launch digitally on November 7 and include a new “Patient Zero” campaign.




New users will be able to purchase Hitman: Game of the Year Edition for $59.99. Existing players who own The Complete First Season, either digitally or on disc, will be able to get the “Game of the Year Upgrade” including all of the new content for $19.99.




Here’s everything that is included:
The Complete First Season
This is everything that we created for Hitman Season One. All seven locations, all bonus missions, all of the Challenge Packs, Escalation Contracts, Featured Contracts and more than 700 challenges! We’re talking more than 100 hours of gameplay and a game that we’re continuing to improve. See below for more of that.
New: Patient Zero Campaign
After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading. This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behaviour and HUD elements. Bangkok, Sapienza, Colorado and Hokkaido look and feel completely different with a new time of day and new custom music created by the composer for Season One, Niels Bye Nielsen.
New: Clown Suit and ‘A New Bat’
Corky the Clown is back! This fan-favourite from Blood Money returns in Hitman and his red wig, colourful socks and giant shoes look better than ever! Not only does the clown suit look great, but it’s the only way to carry his signature weapon without attracting attention. ‘A New Bat’ will trigger custom sound and visual effects every time it is used.
New: Raven Suit and ‘Sieger 300 Ghost’
Where tactical meets practical and stylish, you’ll find the Raven Suit. This is the perfect choice for Agent 47’s sniper operations. The Raven Suit is black and charcoal with the finest gloves and pockets for every tool. The Sieger 300 Ghost is a unique ICA variant of the Sieger 300 and the all-black rifle perfectly matches the Raven Suit for high-precision, high-damage long-range engagements. It’s got a supressor, an extended scope with four levels of zoom and the Marksman perk, which allows you to improve your aim and slow time.
New: Cowboy Suit and ‘The Striker’
The Cowboy suit is steel blue on patriotic white and comes complete with a beautiful set of albino alligator boots, sunglasses and a cowboy hat as pure as Colorado snow. Naturally, the belt buckle is the size of your fist. Accompanying this suit is The Striker; a magnum pistol that packs one hell of a punch. Not only does it have increased damage at all ranges, it also knocks back targets and has piercing rounds.
New: Themed Escalation Contracts
There’s more! We’ve created a new Escalation Contract for each new weapon/suit combination. You’ll be dressing in each new suit and using each new weapon as you complete Escalation Contracts with some brand new complications based on some new gameplay mechanics. We’ve themed these new features with each suit to make for some unique experiences.
Each Escalation comes with a new starting location unique to that Contract and all of the Escalations are made up of 3-stages, so expect the challenge to ramp up quickly- one of the Escalations reaches 7 targets, something we’ve never done before in this game. Completing each Escalation Contract will unlock the corresponding weapon to be used in all locations across the entire game, which means that Clown Only, Striker Only runs are now possible and we can’t wait to see them!

In addition to Hitman: Game of the Year Edition, IO Interactive announced it will release a free update alongside the new version’s release with the following changes:
A redesigned UI with a new colour scheme and visual style
A fresh new look across the board and re-organised menus to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
New Contracts Mode features
‘Trending’ helps you find the most popular contracts, making sure you can easily find a new challenge. We’re also adding and 10 ‘Conditions’ that will add huge depth to Contracts Mode, such as restricting disguise changes or requiring players to use a specific exit. Anyone who creates a contract will be able to toggle these conditions to set a more defined challenge for their contract.
Major lighting improvements to all missions
New color grading, readjusted HDR adaptation rules and re-designed skyboxes mean that our locations look more vivid, vibrant and lifelike.
Commemorative Elusive Target Unlock
If you played any of the Elusive Targets we released during Season One, we’re giving you an in-game coin to commemorate your progress and thank you for your support.
Xbox One X Enhancements
A whole host of enhancements are on the way for Xbox One X owners, including options for native 4K and a higher framerate. Specific details to come in a Xbox-specific blog post.
Tobii Eye Tracking support for PC
Enhance your killer instincts with Dynamic Light Adaptation, Extended View and a new special feature added specifically for Hitman. Find more details here.
Various fixes and improvements
Full release notes will be published closer to 7 November. That should be enough time to start thinking about your default loadout for each location…
Elusive Target Re-activation
Starting in November, we will re-activate Elusive Targets. If you missed any Elusive Targets the first time around, or if you are new to Hitman, this is your chance to experience these intense time-limited targets. All of the suit unlocks are back in play for both new and existing players to complete their collection. If you’ve already completed or failed an Elusive Target, you won’t be able to play that specific contract again; your record for that contract will stand and cannot be altered. Re-activated ET’s will still be time-limited and the first one will be re-activated shortly after the release of our Game of the Year Edition on November 7.

Just really, really hoping that whoever works on this actually plays the games, and appreciates the special gameplay. Former directors and writers definitely didn't, those films are just like watching someone play the game like a harp from hell.

My pitch for a Hitman film/show wouldn't even include 47 as the main character. Make it a murder mystery. Show those kills happen through the eyes of security guards and people investigating the murders, with 47 blended into the crowds. Further on they could show how he made it happen, through some crazy intricate game of sneaking, costumes and happy accidents. Involve the investigators into the case personally, maybe even somehow force one of them to work with 47, humanize him a little bit, not too much. Never go too far with the action, keep it very stylish and to the minimum. Maybe even introduce some horror elements to 47 stalking his prey. Just don't make it a bland action spectacle, unrecognizable as Hitman.
 
Only recently got a PS4 upgrade from my old '3' and the PS4 Hitman game was an essential purchase, played all the system's games from PS2 onwards, just started the 'box set' missions edition, with all the separately released missions incorporated into one game and currently in Italy and the 'virus' level. It's a beautiful game (as ever) to look at and play, and feels like the older versions rather than Absolution which went for a shoot 'em up style extension of what made the games good in the first place.

The feel, pacing and approach style missions are back and the number of options open to a player are just huge. Loving it. 10/10

Agent 47 is back !!

Hope its released as a 'complete' entity in one go, rather than the episodic build from last time, doubt it will, but whatever, whichever way it goes, I'll buy the full game.

Title is a bit weird though, given it's actually Hitman 7 technically.

It was confirmed on the live stream that it is being released as a whole game. No more episodic apparently.
 
Finally a big game release not scared to come out in November
