Vi ved stadig ikke helt hvordan det nye Hitman vil fungere, IO har så sandelig ambitiøse planer for spillet, med indhold der løbende tilføjes online over tid, efter spillets originale udgivelse til december. Det vi ved nu er, at der hverken vil være traditionelt DLC-indhold eller mikrotransaktioner i spillet.
"It is fully complete at launch but it is not finished," sagde studiechefen Hannes Seifert til VideoGamer.
"What we do is we start the journey on December 8 and what we put out there is going to be a big game. But over the course of 2016 we'll add more locations, more missions and we'll have things like targets that only appear for, say, 2 days. That's something you can only do in the live world."
"We're not an Early Access game because Early Access games are unfinished by definition - you're part of the development. Everything we ship on December 8 will be completely finished, it will be a very polished experience. It's also going to be a very big game. There are other products that sell a game for $60 and then try to sell you a Season Pass for another $40 on top, so you spend $100 or $120 for all the stuff that happens later on. We said no, we don't want to do that.
"We think it's wrong to approach players like that because players want to be part of that experience but they don't necessarily want to be ripped off. What we're going to sell is all of that but it's for a one-price package."
Som Seifert sagde her, udkommer Hitman d. 8 december, og vil kunne købes på PC, PS4 og Xbox One.
