HITMAN – Game of the Year Edition!

We are super excited to announce HITMAN – Game of the Year Edition!
This awesome package includes The Complete First Season, the brand new ‘Patient Zero’ campaign, new Escalation Contracts, new weapons, new suits, new challenges, improvements to existing features and new lighting enhancements to all locations that make the game look better than ever – plus we have a few more surprises!



This is our first new content release since becoming an independent studio and we had an absolute blast putting it together for you. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it – get ready to have your multi-coloured socks blown right off!
HITMAN – Game of the Year Edition will be released digitally on November 7th 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC!
Here’s a full rundown of what’s included:

• HITMAN The Complete First Season
• New: ‘Patient Zero’ Campaign
• New: Clown Suit and themed weapon
• New: Raven Suit and themed weapon
• New: Cowboy Suit and themed weapon
• New: 3 themed Escalation Contracts

The Complete First Season
This is everything that we created for HITMAN Season One. All seven locations, all bonus missions, all of the Challenge Packs, Escalation Contracts, Featured Contracts and more than 700 challenges! We’re talking more than 100 hours of gameplay and a game that we’re continuing to improve. See below for more of that.
New: Patient Zero Campaign
After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading. This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behaviour and HUD elements. Bangkok, Sapienza, Colorado and Hokkaido look and feel completely different with a new time of day and new custom music created by the composer for Season One, Niels Bye Nielsen.
New: Clown Suit and ‘A New Bat’
Corky the Clown is back! This fan-favourite from Blood Money returns in HITMAN and his red wig, colourful socks and giant shoes look better than ever! Not only does the clown suit look great, but it’s the only way to carry his signature weapon without attracting attention. ‘A New Bat’ will trigger custom sound and visual effects every time it is used.
New: Raven Suit and ‘Sieger 300 Ghost’
Where tactical meets practical and stylish, you’ll find the Raven Suit. This is the perfect choice for Agent 47’s sniper operations. The Raven Suit is black and charcoal with the finest gloves and pockets for every tool. The Sieger 300 Ghost is a unique ICA variant of the Sieger 300 and the all-black rifle perfectly matches the Raven Suit for high-precision, high-damage long-range engagements. It’s got a supressor, an extended scope with four levels of zoom and the Marksman perk, which allows you to improve your aim and slow time.
New: Cowboy Suit and ‘The Striker’
The Cowboy suit is steel blue on patriotic white and comes complete with a beautiful set of albino alligator boots, sunglasses and a cowboy hat as pure as Colorado snow. Naturally, the belt buckle is the size of your fist. Accompanying this suit is The Striker; a magnum pistol that packs one hell of a punch. Not only does it have increased damage at all ranges, it also knocks back targets and has piercing rounds.



New: Themed Escalation Contracts
There’s more! We’ve created a new Escalation Contract for each new weapon/suit combination. You’ll be dressing in each new suit and using each new weapon as you complete Escalation Contracts with some brand new complications based on some new gameplay mechanics. We’ve themed these new features with each suit to make for some unique experiences.

Each Escalation comes with a new starting location unique to that Contract and all of the Escalations are made up of 3-stages, so expect the challenge to ramp up quickly- one of the Escalations reaches 7 targets, something we’ve never done before in this game. Completing each Escalation Contract will unlock the corresponding weapon to be used in all locations across the entire game, which means that Clown Only, Striker Only runs are now possible and we can’t wait to see them!



Here’s how to get your hands on the GOTY Edition
HITMAN – Game of the Year Edition will be available digitally on November 7th 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
New Players: HITMAN – GOTY Edition will be available digitally for $60. That includes The Complete First Season plus all of our new GOTY content.
Existing Players: If you already own The Complete First Season, either digitally or on disc, the ‘GOTY Upgrade’ includes all of the new GOTY content and will be available digitally for $20.
(The $20 GOTY Upgrade is also available to anyone who purchased all episodes individually or previously purchased the Intro Pack/Upgrade Pack combination.)
We’ll let you know when the GOTY Edition and GOTY Upgrade are available on PSN, Xbox Live and Steam so that you can get the exact pricing for your region.

Free Game Update/Patch for all players
So, on November 7th we will release the GOTY Edition, which we’ve outlined above – but there’s a whole lot more coming!
Anyone who owns HITMAN will also get a game update on November 7th. We will share the full details of the game update soon, but here’s some of the highlights ahead of time:
– A redesigned UI with a new colour scheme and visual style
A fresh new look across the board and re-organised menus to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
– New Contracts Mode features
‘Trending’ helps you find the most popular contracts, making sure you can easily find a new challenge. We’re also adding 10 ‘Conditions’ that will add huge depth to Contracts Mode, such as restricting disguise changes or requiring players to use a specific exit. Anyone who creates a contract will be able to toggle these conditions to set a more defined challenge for their contract.
– Major lighting improvements to all missions
New colour grading, readjusted HDR adaptation rules and re-designed skyboxes mean that our locations look more vivid, vibrant and lifelike.
– Commemorative Elusive Target Unlock
If you played any of the Elusive Targets we released during Season One, we’re giving you an in-game coin to commemorate your progress and thank you for your support.
– Xbox One X Enhancements
A whole host of enhancements are on the way for Xbox One X owners, including options for native 4K and a higher framerate. Specific details to come in a Xbox-specific blog post.
– Tobii Eye Tracking support for PC
Enhance your killer instincts with Dynamic Light Adaptation, Extended View and a new special feature added specifically for HITMAN. Find more details here.
– Various fixes and improvements
Full release notes will be published closer to 7 November. That should be enough time to start thinking about your default loadout for each location…
Oh, and one more thing…
– Elusive Target Re-activation
Starting in November, we will re-activate Elusive Targets. If you missed any Elusive Targets the first time around, or if you are new to HITMAN, this is your chance to experience these intense time-limited targets. All of the suit unlocks are back in play for both new and existing players to complete their collection. If you’ve already completed or failed an Elusive Target, you won’t be able to play that specific contract again; your record for that contract will stand and cannot be altered. Re-activated ET’s will still be time-limited and the first one will be re-activated shortly after the release of our Game of the Year Edition on November 7th.

HITMAN – GOTY Content Overview (New Content)

New Campaign: Patient Zero

• 4 new missions: The Source, The Author, The Vector, Patient Zero
• After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading. This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behaviour and HUD elements. Due to the dynamic nature of the Patient Zero missions, they are not available for Contract creation.

3 New Escalation Contracts

• The Cheveyo Calibration (Marrakesh by night), The Corky Commotion (Paris), The Dexter Discordance (Hokkaido)
• We’ve created a new Escalation Contract for each new weapon/suit combination with some brand new complications based on new gameplay mechanics. We’ve themed these new features with each suit to make for some unique experiences. All of the Escalations are made up of 3-stages, so expect the challenge to ramp up quickly and completing each one will unlock the corresponding weapon to be used in all locations across the entire game.

3 New Weapons

• A New Bat – Corky the Clown’s signature weapon that triggers custom sound and visual effects every time it is used.
• Sieger 300 Ghost – an all-black sniper rifle with a supressor, 4x zoom and the Marksman perk, which allows you to improve your aim and slow time.
• Striker – a magnum pistol with increased damage at all ranges, knocks back targets and has piercing rounds.

3 New Outfits

• Clown – Corky the Clown is back! This fan-favourite from Blood Money returns in HITMAN and his red wig, colourful socks and giant shoes look better than ever!
• Cowboy – The Cowboy suit comes complete with a beautiful set of albino alligator boots, sunglasses and a cowboy hat as pure as Colorado snow.
• Raven – The perfect choice for Agent 47’s sniper operations, the Raven Suit is black and charcoal with the finest gloves and pockets for every tool.

40+ Patient Zero-specific challenges

Reminder: There are two options for getting all of this new content, depending on what you already own.
New Players: HITMAN – GOTY Edition will be available digitally for $60. That includes The Complete First Season plus all of our new GOTY content.
Existing Players: If you already own The Complete First Season, either digitally or on disc, the ‘GOTY Upgrade’ includes all of the new GOTY content and will be available digitally for $20.
(The $20 GOTY Upgrade is also available to anyone who purchased all episodes individually or previously purchased the Intro Pack/Upgrade Pack combination.)
Please note that on November 7th, The Complete First Season will no longer be available for purchase digitally and will be replaced by the GOTY Edition as the default offering for new HITMAN players. We’ve made this change in order to further simplify the purchasing options now that all of the content for Season One has been released. Individual episodes will remain available for purchase in-game on consoles – and on Steam via the bundle set-up.


HITMAN – GOTY Update/Patch Release Notes (for all players)

A redesigned UI with a new colour scheme and visual style
A fresh new look across the board and re-organised menus to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
Default Loadout
For each mission, choose the loadout that you want to use on the Planning page and save it. Next time you load that mission, your default loadout will be ready and waiting.
Bullet Distractions
As part of an ongoing review into core gameplay mechanics, we’ve increased the range that NPC’s will hear bullet impacts from 1.9 metres to 5 metres. We feel that this is a more believable distance and will allow for more creative gameplay scenarios.
Major lighting improvements to all missions
New colour grading, readjusted HDR adaptation rules and re-designed skyboxes mean that all of our locations look more vivid, vibrant and lifelike. The image below shows the ‘Club 27’ mission in Bangkok with these new improvements. Click on it to open a higher-res version.





Sniper Rifle Audio
Our Audio Team have been looking at improving the weapon sounds and have started with the Sniper Rifle, specifically the Sieger 300. Their goals were to make this Sniper feel more powerful and to achieve that, they’ve reworked the sound from the ground up with new source assets, new audio processing and a new implementation. The Sieger 300 Advanced and the Sieger 300 Ghost will also benefit from these improvements.
Speaker Configuration
We’ve added an option in the Settings Menu to configure your speaker set-up. There are three options and the game audio will mix accordingly; Surround (Default), Headphones and Stereo.

Elusive Target Re-activation
Starting in November, we will re-activate Elusive Targets. If you missed any Elusive Targets the first time around, or if you are new to HITMAN, this is your chance to experience these intense time-limited targets. All of the suit unlocks are back in play for both new and existing players to complete their collection. If you’ve already completed or failed an Elusive Target, you won’t be able to play that specific contract again; your record for that contract will stand and cannot be altered. Re-activated ET’s will still be time-limited and the first one will be re-activated shortly after the release of our Game of the Year Edition on November 7th.



Commemorative Elusive Target Unlock
If you played any of the Elusive Targets we released during Season One, we have created a small in-game reward that will only be available to a limited number of players. You’ll be awarded one of three coins, depending on your progress with Elusive Targets during their first activation. Progress is measured against simply playing an Elusive Target contract, successfully completing any Elusive Target contract and earning the Silent Assassin rating on an ET contract. The item will be granted when launching the game for the first time with the GOTY Update/Patch.




Store Tab
We’ve added a ‘Store’ tab to the menu to make it easier to; check which content you have installed, purchase episodes or upgrade to the new GOTY content directly through the game.
Contracts Discoverability
– ‘Trending’ helps you find the most popular contracts, making sure you can easily find a new challenge.
– ‘Most Played Last Week’ tracks the Contracts with the most plays in the last 7 days.



Contracts Text Search Operators
Use search operators to find titles or descriptions of created contracts.



Contract Complications
We’re adding “Complications” to Contracts Mode, such as restricting disguise changes or requiring players to use a specific exit. Anyone who creates a contract will be able to toggle these conditions to set a more defined challenge for their contract.
The complications can either be set as an ‘optional’ or ‘required’ and the Contract creator will need to make sure that they ‘achieve’ each condition when creating their contract. If any ‘required’ objectives are failed, you will immediately fail the mission.




Here’s the full list of Complications:

• Time Limit
• Required Exit (Cannot be used as an optional objective)
• Targets Only
• Do Not Get Spotted
• No Bodies Found
• Hide all Bodies
• No Disguise Changes
• Headshots Only
• No Missed Shots
• No Pacifications
• No Recordings

Red Targets
The mini map and full map will now highlight targets in red. Previously, they were white.




Death Screen
To savour the moment of failing a contract or mission by dying, the ‘Mission Failed’ screen will no longer fade to black and will instead show 47’s last moment (before replaying).



IOI presents…
We’ve made changes to the bootflow of the game on consoles to include fewer logos. This change was made on PC with update 1.12.2.

Patient Zero Support
We’ve added many features that will support the Patient Zero campaign. We are being purposefully vague because detailing them would spoil the experience. This includes the new HUD elements, gameplay mechanics and AI behaviour that we mentioned when we announced the GOTY Edition.




Fixed Issues

Global Issues

• Fixed an issue that could cause NPC’s to hear silenced gunshots through walls.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the ‘compromised’ state to trigger when using a syringe on a guard whilst remaining unseen.
• Fixed an issue where the Winter Suit would not cast the proper shadows in some locations.
• Fixed an issue that could cause NPC’s to get stuck in the ground when ‘dumped’ from height.
• Fixed an issue where the Fast Target option would occasionally place the crosshair above the intended target.

Paris

• Fixed a few minor issues on the Holiday Hoarders mission.
• Fixed a few minor issues with character animation during opportunities.

Sapienza

• Fixed an issue that could make it impossible for 47 to interact with the Robot Arm, depending on what items are equipped.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the sun to show incorrect textures when in focus.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the church bell to respawn.
• Fixed a handful of issues with Abbiatti’s routine in the Landslide mission.

Bangkok

• Fixed an issue where all NPC’s could be lured to room 207 using a clock radio.
• Fixed an issue where the ‘Sticky Hatchet’ complication in the Arthin Occulation Escalation might not function properly.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Jordan Cross to suspend his routine or repeat conversations, depending on 47’s actions.

Colorado

• Fixed an issue where the map would show incorrect information about level geometry.

Hokkaido

• Fixed an issue that could cause items to fall ‘out of world’ in specific circumstances.
• Fixed an issue where Ninja 47 could get stuck on the roof. Not so ninja-like.

What’s Next? Assassination.
The November Roadmap shows all of the content coming to Hitman in November, including the first Elusive Target to be re-activated, The Forger.
Featured Contracts, Curated Contracts and Elusive Targets are available to all players and do not require the purchase of the GOTY Content.

Da kann ich nur noch den Kopf schütteln. So eine dreiste scheisse werde ich definitiv nicht mehr unterstützen.

Ich war von Anfang an kein Freund des Episoden formates auch wenn die Level wirklich riesig sind aber eine interessante Story sucht man vergeblich.

Aber nun noch nachträglich nochmal quasi Season Pass kosten bezahlen ist Abzocke hoch 10.

[PsychoGamer]

Tja... ich fühl mich immer besser, dass ich von Anfang an darauf verzichtet habe.

[Deelight]

stört mich jetzt nicht so der neue "bezahl" inhalt is jetzt nich so das wofür ich geld ausgeben würde. isja nich wirklich was neues. dafür finde ich das kostenlose update aber auch beachtlich!
die haben ja das komplette game nochmal umgekrempelt was mir sehr gefällt. die episodenform hat damals ab episode 3 für mich das game leider gekillt, weil ich die 2 ersten aufträge so oft gezockt habe das ich später nicht mal mehr spass an neuen locations hatte^^
aber nun wird es vielleicht doch mal wieder zeit

muss dir aber recht geben was die story betrifft die is leider uninteressante grütze^^

[Anarky]

Meint ihr das Ding lohnt sich? Habe Lust auf ein Stealth-Spiel, aber ich weiß bei dem Ding halt echt nicht was ich erwarten soll. Die Beta hat mir sehr gefallen, jedoch schien das alles auf mich so Story-Los. Ist die Story interessant? Fällt die Grafik negativ auf?
Lohnt es sich?

[Sn@keEater]

Kannst es doch testen glaube Episode 1 ist free.

Ist die erste Episode nicht das auf dem Schiff?

[Miya]

Ist die erste Episode nicht das auf dem Schiff?

Ja, das ist die Tutorial-Mission. Da kannst du das Gameplay testen.

Aber so richtig atmosphärisch ist das noch nicht, das kam dann erst in Paris, der ersten echten Episode.

Story ist halt echt nur beiläufig, die war in Absolution tiefer, wobei die da ja auch auf viel Kritik stieß. Letztendlich gefiel mir die aktuelle aber schon, besonders gegen Ende. Der Fokus liegt einfach mehr auf Freiheit und diese dreht sich um die schier endlosen Varianten, wie man die Ziele erreichen/töten kann.

Grafisch hatte ich nichts zu bemängeln, im Gegenteil. Dafür, dass da teilweise echt viel los ist, ist das optisch sehr solide. Dienstag mit dem Update wird's ja wohl nochmal einen Ticken hübscher.

Wenn du die Beta schon mochtest, seh ich eigentlich keinen Grund, da jetzt nicht zuzuschlagen.

Jeahh damit die Day 1 Käifer nochmal zur Kasse gebeten werden...also langsam wirds echt lächerlich. Mit wie viel "complete" Editions wollen sie das Game denn noch melken?

[r0b]

Genau das dachte ich mir auch. Nachdem die GOTY Edition kam, dachte ich "gut, da ist die letzte" (weil so kennt man es von anderen Spielen, das die GOTY alle DLCs usw enhält). Aktuell find ich es auch unter aller Sau.

Ich kauf es mir erst wenn die Hitman Complete Definitive Edition als Game of the Year Edition erscheint.

[A.D.I.O.S]

echt grausam was die da treiben..
hatte es mir als goty gekauft, weil ich es komplett haben wollte und jetzt dieser mist.
hatte zwar viel spaß mit dem spiel, aber man merkt ihm auch an, dass es nicht aus einem guss ist.
dadurch bleibt immer ein sehr fader beigeschmack und ein zweites mal werd ich so ein system wohl nicht unterstützen..
