Earlier this week, the upcoming Hitman reboot was quietly removed from the PlayStation Store in Europe, with Square Enix cancelling pre-orders for the PlayStation 4 version. With the game scheduled for release in just a few months, fans were understandably concerned. Was the game being pushed back? Was it being cancelled entirely? The accompanying message, that the "configuration of the product... has changed significantly," didn't help matters.
It turns out that Hitman was pulled because the game will now be released episodically. When it launches on March 11, Hitman will include a prologue mission and just one location, Paris, for the cost of £12/$15. Its next location, Italy, will launch in April, with Morocco following in May. Each additional episode will cost £8/$10, or £37/$50 for a season pass. "Regular monthly content updates" that will include three additional locations—Thailand, the US, and Japan—will arrive later in the year.
Or, players can pay for the whole lot upfront for £45/$60. The complete season will also launch on disc at the end of the year.
