Io-Interactive is introducing its most ambitious Hitman game yet. It’s only called Hitman, and it’ll have gamers playing as assassin Agent 47 once again but now in an ever-expanding world. It’s supposed to be a sandbox game that allows players to take different approaches to all of the missions that they’re given, letting them choose between stealth hits and violent, obvious attacks. But the big difference here is that Io-Interactive plans to add new locations and missions over time, some of which will only be available for limited periods. The studio didn’t say how that’ll all factor into the game or how players will get access to that extra content, but it still sounds like there’ll be a lot to like for Hitman fans. It’ll be released December 8th on Steam and for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
