Hitman release date and details emerge from the shadows

Hitman is a new game in the long running series, which started on the PC back in 2000 with Hitman Agent 47. Developers IO Interactive are still at the helm of this series, which last gifted us with ultraviolence in 2012's Hitman Absolution.

There's been a bit of confusion around the new game thanks to an unusual release structure which planned to have an initial base game with frequent updates for one set price. That release was delayed, with the promise of more information coming soon. And now we know the things we're supposed to know.
