Hitman won’t have a season pass: ‘We think it’s wrong’

Hitman’s developer is taking the brave step of avoiding paid-for downloadable content.

With season passes increasingly becoming the norm for triple-A games, Danish studio IO-Interactive says it won’t be using the model with its upcoming Hitman stealth title despite offering significant post-release content. Hitman releases digitally on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in December this year, and everything that IO-Interactive creates for it will be part of the $60 price. Speaking to VideoGamer, studio head Hannes Seifert said that adding extra paid content is the “wrong approach” as it makes gamers feel “ripped off.”
