HITMAN May 2018 Update Release Notes
Definitive Edition Support
We’ve made numerous back-end changes to support the release of the Definitive Edition. This includes support for the Anniversary Outfit Bundle and displaying the WB Games logo during the bootflow for players with the Definitive Edition.New Mission for Contracts Mode Creation
It is now possible to create and play Contracts on ‘The Source’ mission from the Patient Zero campaign. Contracts Search and Lookup functionality has also been added for this mission. Players will be required to own the GOTY missions to play Contracts on this location.The Pharmacist
We’ve fixed an issue with ‘The Pharmacist’ Elusive Target that would cause the target to suspend their routine. This target is now back into rotation for Reactivated Elusive Targets.Elusive Target Clarification
We’ve adjusted the messages for the Elusive Target tile on the Featured Hub to clearly show the status of the upcoming or active Elusive Target. If you have already completed or failed the contract, you will be informed of that. This will help players know whether they have previously completed or failed the contract.PC Framerate uncapped
We’ve corrected an issue on PC that was introduced with the GOTY Edition that limited the framerate on PC to 100fps. The framerate will now be as high as your hardware and graphic settings will allow.Clipping in Cover
We’ve fixed an issue that could cause 47 to get stuck in a wall, teleport or fall out of world in a staircase in Sapienza.
Progression Counter
We’ve fixed a visual issue with the display of Location Mastery on the location menus after reaching the max level. The game will no longer display “6000 XP to next level” when reaching the max level.Featured Complications
We’ve made a back-end fix to Featured Contracts so that any complications for those contracts are correctly displayed. Previously, the Featured Contracts menu might display that all of the complications were activated when some of them were optional. The correct functionality was set in-game and this was purely a visual issue.

i just pirated the fit-girl version couple days ago, damn luck.
i’m not a hypocrite, i know i bashed people left and right for piracy but i’m completely fine with pirating games that EA and IO interactive make.
Does that come with the contract missions?
No? This is why you buy this game.
What has IOI done to warrant a pirate?
back when hitman came out i bought the first then the second and third and later on fourth episode separately, i started realizing that i’m not getting special episodes (which i don’t know or care what they’re called), so i contacted IO and they said you have to buy the complete edition to get those episodes and i told them that i can’t refund the game since i bought it months ago and my play time is above 2 hours and they told me that i have to buy the whole game again which of course i didn’t and stopped caring about hitman altogether until couple weeks ago and i can tell confidently now that fit-girl is the way to go when it comes to hitman, you get the whole game for free.
IO hasn’t done anything to warrant excusing pirating – you may not have liked the episodic releases, but now that it’s done we can definitively say that it was the right decision. And maybe you dislike the online single-player stuff, and I do think that it’s stupid, but that’s not a DRM thing, it was genuine creative decision.
I’d maybe let EA slide, but there’s no reason to have a problem with IOI’s business practices. Either way: you are DEFINITELY a hypocrite
I love this game but… where is season 2? It’s been a long time since season 1 ended. Throw us a bone here, IO.
Because Square Enix got rid of them and they have to fund Season 2 fully themselves instead of having money from Square Enix.
Meh, the game doesn’t have enough content for its price anyway.
It feels like 50% of a game unfortunately. I liked it, but got bored pretty fast and disappointed to know that there’s only 1 mission left before it’s over.
Gave some 30 hours of gameplay, doing every mission with as many challenges as possible.
Should have just waited to release the full game at once.
It is a fake emulator
