IO Interactive introduced a 'live component' to the game with new content being regularly delivered in downloadable form. The game presents the player with various assassination opportunities, many of which are unconventional. Hitman features a number of large, open-ended sandboxes that Agent 47 can freely explore. The single-player story follows genetically-engineered assassin Agent 47 as he goes on a worldwide adventure and solves a mysterious series of seemingly unconnected assassinations. The game, which has six episodes, is the sixth mainline entry in the Hitman franchise, the first installment of the World of Assassination trilogy, and the successor to Hitman: Absolution (2012).
Hitman is a 2016 stealth video game that was developed by IO Interactive and was released episodically for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from March to October 2016.
