Square Enix and IO Interactive revealed today some additional details about the new HITMAN game. As we all know, HITMAN was delayed until March 2016. Well, today we know the exact date the game will be released, which is March 11th, 2016.
This initial release will feature three locations – Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh – featuring six campaign missions. Moreover, 800 targets will be available in the game’s Contracts mode.
IO Interactive will release one new sandbox location per month in April, May and June. Each location will come with additional missions, signature kills and more Contracts targets.
Furthermore, the game’s live content – that consists of IO Interactive’s live, time-limited targets, weekly IOI developed Contracts and promoted content built by fans – will start in March.
Square Enix also introduced HITMAN’s Intro Pack. This pack will also be available on March 11 2016, will be priced at $34.99, and will include all of the launch content, plus all Live Events and Contracts for the locations released in March 2016.

Three locations at release and three more as DLC is pathetic, no wonder they kept showing the same level all the time. And who cares about 800 contracts, that’s no different than replaying a level and making up your own objectives in your head.
Right? This is getting ridiculous.
Well the idea is to turn games into a service because then they don’t owe you anything and they can cut you off from your purchase and force you to buy the new shiny whenever they want, that’s the whole point of all of these publisher shenanigans, create a continued relationship of dependency that can be used to extract regular payments from the sucke-eh I mean buyers.
Beta acess dayONE!

I still can’t wrap my head around this business model.
Then again, I still can’t wrap my head around all business of this industry. 🙁
Wait, they’re actually going to call it just “Hitman”?
Hitman: Codename 47
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Hitman: Contracts
Hitman: Blood Money
Hitman: Absolution
Hitman Go
Hitman: Sniper

I guess they ran out of ideas.
Next we’ll get:

“6 CAMPAIGN MISSIONS”
FOR 35$
Hmmm ill wait until it is full patched and released.
It’s not far where developers would charge 60$ for a Beta. And 1000$ for the full experience. Maybe within 2020. I’d say- “Forget about HITMAN and it’s existence!”
So there is no overarching story, I know hitman is not about story. But my motivation to play a game always instigate on story, shallow as it may be.
Blood Money had a story yet its the best Hitman and among the best stealth games of all time.
