Io Interactive has released new details on their new episodic Hitman game, announcing that it will launch on March 11th, 2016. This initial release will feature three locations - Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh - featuring six campaign missions. 

Moreover, 800 targets will be available in the game's Contracts mode. IO Interactive will release one new sandbox location per month in April, May and June. Each location will come with additional missions, signature kills and more Contracts targets. Furthermore, the game's live content - that consists of IO Interactive's live, time-limited targets, weekly IOI developed Contracts and promoted content built by fans - will start in March.

On March 11th 2016, we will release the initial launch content, which contains three locations - Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh - featuring six campaign missions. For Contracts mode, you’ve got a combined pool of around 800 targets to craft your devious Contracts from, which means we’re expecting fantastic things. 

Following March, we will release one new sandbox location per month in April, May and June. Each location will come with additional missions, signature kills and more Contracts targets – and of course new disguises, weapons and ways of taking out your target. April takes you to Thailand, May will see you visiting the United States of America and June sends you across the globe to Japan. 

In addition, the live content will start in March. This consists of our live, time-limited targets, weekly IOI developed Contracts and promoted content built by the very best of you out there. Because, let’s face it, millions of you played and created fantastic Contracts for Absolution and we’re betting you’ll do even better this time around with so many targets and such complex locations.
