HITMAN Game of the Year Edition will be released digitally on November 7th 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC!
Heres a full rundown of whats included:
HITMAN The Complete First Season
New: Patient Zero Campaign
New: Clown Suit and themed weapon
New: Raven Suit and themed weapon
New: Cowboy Suit and themed weapon
New: 3 themed Escalation Contracts

The Complete First Season
This is everything that we created for HITMAN Season One. All seven locations, all bonus missions, all of the Challenge Packs, Escalation Contracts, Featured Contracts and more than 700 challenges! Were talking more than 100 hours of gameplay and a game that were continuing to improve. See below for more of that.

New: Patient Zero Campaign
After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading. This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behaviour and HUD elements. Bangkok, Sapienza, Colorado and Hokkaido look and feel completely different with a new time of day and new custom music created by the composer for Season One, Niels Bye Nielsen.

New: Themed Escalation Contracts
Theres more! Weve created a new Escalation Contract for each new weapon/suit combination. Youll be dressing in each new suit and using each new weapon as you complete Escalation Contracts with some brand new complications based on some new gameplay mechanics. Weve themed these new features with each suit to make for some unique experiences.

Each Escalation comes with a new starting location unique to that Contract and all of the Escalations are made up of 3-stages, so expect the challenge to ramp up quickly- one of the Escalations reaches 7 targets, something weve never done before in this game. Completing each Escalation Contract will unlock the corresponding weapon to be used in all locations across the entire game, which means that Clown Only, Striker Only runs are now possible and we cant wait to see them!

Nice. I hope this game ends up being a success for them. I want season 2/sequel!

It's kind of bullshit that many of us bought the "full experience" but now have to shell out 20 bucks for the GOTY content.

I wasn't expecting anymore story missions so I feel I got what I paid for long ago.

Also I'm kinda thankful this game is still being supported at all considering what Square-Enix did.

i thought they release this already

IOI had serious issues over the summer, no? Seems like this might have been a fully fleshed out "season two" instead
---

I thought SE shut this shit down or something
---

Square-Enix let IO go. Somehow IO survived, went independent and have kept the Hitman IP and are allowed to keep updating Hitman 2016. Square are no longer associated with the game.

This is their first thing since going independent outside of minor, free updates for Hitman.

Huh. I'll probably get it eventually
