Five months ago, I posted an open letter to let you know that Io-Interactive had become an independent studio once again.

Weve kept intentionally quiet since then, because we needed to focus inwards at what we want IOI to stand for, in terms of our employees, our culture and our ambitions and dreams for the future. Its been hard and challenging work, but also incredibly exciting as we lay the foundations for a new start for this special studio.

Today feels like a good opportunity to update you on how and what were doing as we have passed 7 million players in the game and we are releasing the first new content since the conclusion of Season One, in the form of our Game of the Year Edition of HITMAN.

This is our way of showing our fans and players that we appreciate your continued support and love for our HITMAN 2016 game. Its been made with love and passion and the GOTY Edition builds on our original game with loads of visual and mechanical improvements, new unique powerful items with disguises and a whole new story campaign in Patient Zero. More and more players are joining HITMAN every day and we want to keep delivering on the promise of our ever expanding World of Assassination.

I also want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you, in advance, to everyone who supports us by purchasing the GOTY Edition or the Upgrade. Your support will directly help us to continue on our independent journey towards the next Hitman game and beyond. Were in this together and we promise that we will channel our passion and skills to shine through in everything that comes from this studio.

One last thing about our next Hitman game; I want to let you know that were making great progress and we have exciting new features and some franchise firsts, which we cant wait to tell you all about. Youll have to wait a little longer as we dont plan to start talking about that until some point in 2018.

hey guys pick up hitman if you haven't already. the new expansion just came out!

"Next Hitman game" sounds like it's not season 2, but something totally separate.
---

The updated Hitman UI mission launcher refers to it as Season 1, and IO have spoken about how they want that to be the launcher for all future Hitman games

I am worried I will be disappointed with episode 1
Is it really only 6 missions?

Yes they are gigantic, but do I really want to replay the level after beating him just to see other ways to kill the target?

I don't know, do you?

Did you enjoy the original Deus Ex and how much creative freedom it gave you, Nanis? If the answer is yes you want to play this game because it's nothing but that.

the base game has 727 challenges, 53 escalation missions, and 26 elusive targets

hitman is a big murder ball pit where all the balls are weapons

Hmm I guess I kinda did that in Blood Money because of achievements
It was fun

Didn't really bother doing it in Absolution because it sucked
---

Season One is set before Absolution, isn't it? I only played the start of H:A, and as well as ruining the gameplay, the story immediately ****ed up the setting too, so I hope all that stuff just gets ignored for the rest of the series.

Absolution problem is that it was more abouth stealth than disguise
I am not playing Splinter Cell, I am playing Hitman
