Hitman’s June content update could be its last

Square Enix is trying to sell Hitman developer IO Interactive, but the studio hasn’t pulled the plug on its bold live content strategy.

IO announced a series of new missions and a big update for Hitman. On Friday, the studio will launch two new Escalation Contracts, which are a pack of quests that feature a similar structure but stack in complexity each time you play them. The Spaggiari Subversion will take players back to the beloved Sapienza map while The Asya Attunement will have you using shotguns and laser tripwires in the Bangkok stage. This month, Hitman is also getting 10 new Featured Contracts designed by the community, the next Elusive Target, and a mandatory game patch.
