Hitman has been reborn as an episodic game. It introduces a whole new “world of assassination,” where you can travel to a new place in each episode and kill the people you meet there. It’s a stealth assassination game, where you have to figure out how to take out a high-value target without being discovered or thwarted.

One of the most innovative things about the high-end console and PC release is that it will have new major episodes and territories debuting throughout 2016. The Square Enix game has traditional multiplayer play, but the new installments are a unique approach to keeping players engaged — offering “assassination tourism.”
