It can be remembered that the pre-orders for "Hitman" was canceled last month after Square Enix and IO Interactive decided against releasing the game in full. Instead, they decided to make the game episodic, Tech Times reports.
Starting April, more "Hitman" locations and missions will come out every month. Some of the next locations are Italy, Morocco, Thailand, United States, and Japan. These releases constitute the first season of the episodic game.
In a PlayStation Blog entry, the episodic structure of the game was explained.
"The episodic nature of Hitman allows us to craft both individual stories centred on Agent 47's targets, as well as longer season stories involving 47, Diana Burnwood, the ICA and an entirely new main cast," the blog says. "The structure is inspired by contemporary TV series' and will unfold over multiple seasons."
In addition, PlayStation says the overall story of "Hitman" runs parallel with the stories in the individual missions. In the later part of season 1, both stories will begin to merge.
"Hitman" is slated for an official release on Mar. 11. The first set of the episodic game will come with a price tag of £15 ($22), which will include the base game and all missions that come with the Paris location.
