Our thoughts from the beta
It's safe to say that a lot of people were feeling quite nervous about the annoyingly named Hitman.

News Hitman's Beta Whacks PS4 Starting Next Week
PlayStation exclusive contracts seal the deal
Much has been said about Hitman's unorthodox episodic release schedule, but we reckon that – the aforementioned aside – the game's really shaping up great.

News Hitman PS4's Convoluted Release Schedule Changes Again
Now fully episodic
Could someone put a contract on the suit who thought that staggering Hitman's PlayStation 4 release was a good idea?

Originally, publisher Square Enix suggested that the game would employ a service-like...
News Hitman PS4 Just Got Even More Needlessly Complex
Two versions of the same game announced
At this point, Hitman's model is so convoluted that we're struggling to think of where to begin with this article. For those out of the loop, the already confusingly named Hitman on PlayStation 4 will launch in an 'unfinished' state. However, the term 'unfinished', according to Square Enix, doesn't describe...
News Hitman PS4 Whacked Until March 2016
Blood worry
The reveal of Hitman's reboot won't go down in history. The confusing announcement made during Sony's big E3 2015 conference only got more baffling when it was confirmed that Agent 47's revival would be released piecemeal. IO-Interactive's sticking with that approach, but it's at least decided to bide its time, and put the release on...

Murder on the dancefloor
Well, doesn't this look like a pleasant surprise?

In this 15 minute video from PAX Prime, we follow the world's most deadly slap head...
News Don't Call Hitman PS4 an Early Access Game, Says Developer
Apparently it'll be polished like 47's shiny head
"Everything we launch will be finished, polished and completed. When people hear Early Access they often think unfinished, unpolished and buggy. That's the opposite [to what we're doing]," IO Interactive's Hannes Seifert has told VideoGamer.com regarding the Hitman franchise's newest iteration. The...
News Hitman PS4 Gameplay Footage Sneaks Online
Served up in secret
While there's been much confusion regarding Hitman's distribution method, we've been more bemused by publisher Square Enix's decision to conceal a release that's due out in less than six months. This leaked gameplay footage is almost certain to get whacked by the organisation in no time at all, then – but at least it gives us...
News Hitman on PS4 Won't Release as a Full Game, and It'll Be Digital Only at First
Let's try to make sense out of this
You may have seen the new Hitman at E3 2015. You may even have gotten hyped for it. But that hype is slowly draining away for some, as Square Enix has slowly but surely explained how the game won't be releasing in full on the 8th December. Posting a question and answer segment on the title's official website, the...

E3 2015 Hitman Starts Anew on the PS4 Later This Year
"Good to have you back."
One would think that the next Hitman would be your typical sequel, innovating on top of what the last game did well and improving what it failed to deliver. However, the sixth game in the long-running franchise is simply titled "Hitman", which seems to be like a soft reboot of sorts for Agent 47 come December 8th, 2015...
