Hitman Games

If Hitman 2 has you itching for more sneaking and silent assassinations, then you'll be happy to know that two of Agent 47's more recent globetrotting adventures have been given the HD remaster treatment.

Once IO Interactive managed to retain the rights to the Hitman property after parting ways with Square Enix, a lot of people were left wondering exactly what would become of the Hitman franchise? Well, it appears as if IO Interactive has plans on furthering Agent 47's exploits with some brand new adventures.

IO Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that the two companies have teamed up for a special retail release of Hitman: Definitive Edition, which will be published for the Xbox One and for the PlayStation 4 by Warner Bros.

IO Interactive has decided to give gamers a special treat: a free episode of the 2016 outing of Hitman. The game released over the course of 2016 and into early 2017, featuring a number of playable episodes designed around taking out specific targets in exotic locations. One of those locations is free to access right now.

One of the more endearing moves by a publisher was when Square Enix gave up any attempts to be a rights holder over the Hitman IP when the publisher parted ways from IO Interactive earlier this year. Well, the publisher explained exactly why it gave up the IP and let IO Interactive keep hold of the prized property.

IO Interactive being back in charge of the Hitman franchise and away from Square Enix means that the developers can do whatever it is it wants without having to worry about publisher oversight. Well, one of the first things that IO is doing is bringing the Elusive Targets back to the 2016 reboot of Hitman.

IO Interactive's Hitman reboot didn't exactly go over as well as Square Enix had hoped when the episodic-based game took to the market back in 2016. However, for gamers who missed out on the game because of the episodic nature of the title, there's a Hitman: GOTY Edition that brings all of the content together, as well as includes a new campaign for players to experience.

As promised, Io Interactive has continued to churn out new content for Hitman on a regular basis. But along with the regular onslaught of monthly activities for October, the developer has announced that something brand new will be making its way into the game.

IO Interactive is finally free from Square Enix, and its first decree as an independent developer has been to make the first episode of the 2016 reboot of Hitman free, which includes two missions that take place at the ICA training facility.

In a bold move that some people saw coming and others reacted to with surprise, Hitman developer IO Interactive has gone completely independent. The studio has branched off from Square Enix following the episodic release of the 2016 Hitman game.

IO Interactive, Danish video game developer best known for making the Hitman games since 2000, have had to announce the sad news that they're laying off staff due to their uncertain future. This all comes after the recent news that Square Enix was no longer keeping them under their publishing wing.

A press note was recently issued by Square Enix where they announced that they're severing ties with Hitman developer IO Interactive. In doing so they're looking for buyers to pick up the game development studio as they focus on their more lucrative IPs.

If you've ever wanted to have the difficult ratcheted up to 11 in the latest Hitman game, then you're in luck. It was recently announced that some new options are being added to the killer episodic adventure guaranteed to make fulfilling your contracts more trying than ever.

We hope you're in the mood for a Christmas slay and, no, that's not a misspelling. Hitman is getting in the holiday spirit next week, raising funds for charity while offering up a new mission that harkens back to a movie many folks break out this time of year.

The November update to Hitman just went live and, along with the usual assortment of bug fixes and tweaks, the folks over at Square Enix have announced a whole bunch of quality of life adjustments that should help players get even more mileage out of the episodic stealth action game.

When Square Enix and IO Interactive announced that they would be utilizing an episodic approach to the new Hitman reboot, a lot of people were curious how that was going to work out. Well, apparently it's worked out well enough because they have plans on doing multiple seasons for Hitman.

Hitman's Agent 47 is about ready to embark on his fourth episodic adventure in Bangkok and, in it, you'll actually be tasked with popping a cap in a pop star for one of the main missions.

Square Enix and IO Interactive are still pumping out new content for Hitman, as the new reboot of the series continues its episodic journey toward completion. The latest update includes the next Elusive Target, a one-time opportunity to take out a target with no second chances.

Looking for new targets to take out in the latest Hitman game? Well, good news, agents! The folks at Square Enix have announced exactly when the highly-anticipated Episode Three will finally be made available. Hint: You won’t have to wait much longer.
