IO Interactive has clarified how it intends to roll out additional content for Hitman, confirming that while the game will only ship with a limited amount of content on day one, all additional content and locations released throughout 2016 will be available to download at no additional cost.
There will be "no DLC or microtransactions", the studio promises.
"It is fully complete at launch but it is not finished," studio head Hannes Seifert told VideoGamer.com at E3 earlier today. "What we do is we start the journey on December 8 and what we put out there is going to be a big game. But over the course of 2016 we'll add more locations, more missions and we'll have things like targets that only appear for, say, 2 days. That's something you can only do in the live world."
The game falls outside of traditional release models, launching as a full-priced $60 release but with additional content concluding the story rolling out in the months following launch. Once that content has been released, the game will be available to purchase on disc.
"We're not an Early Access game because Early Access games are unfinished by definition - you're part of the development," Seifert says. "Everything we ship on December 8 will be completely finished, it will be a very polished experience. It's also going to be a very big game. There are other products that sell a game for $60 and then try to sell you a Season Pass for another $40 on top, so you spend $100 or $120 for all the stuff that happens later on. We said no, we don't want to do that.
"We think it's wrong to approach players like that because players want to be part of that experience but they don't necessarily want to be ripped off. What we're going to sell is all of that but it's for a one-price package."
The amount of content available on day one, however, has yet to be decided, and the studio still isn't sure how frequently new levels will be released.
"We haven't really decided yet what will come out at what point in time but I can promise you that it will be a very big release on day one," Seifert continued. "There will be hours and hours of gameplay. You will travel the world to different locations. We start with Fashionable Paris that you've seen and you'll go to the bustling market of Marrakesh and the Italian coastline and way beyond that. What we can tell people is that we will have content coming every week. There will be an event every week and people can actually engage right away."
The amount of content available at launch will be clarified prior to release, the developer says, with further details expected within the next couple of months.
"This is a full-fledged Hitman," Seifert promises. "Actually it's a bigger Hitman game than ever before, it will be more than Absolution. Our biggest levels are way bigger than anything we had in Blood Money. The AI entities, we have about 300 of them when we used to have 40 or 50 in the previous games. So it's a very big game [that] we will keep updating. It's $60, no dollar more, no DLC or microtransactions or stuff like that. You will buy it and you will have entertainment for a few months on top."

Hitman Will Release on PS4 Digital Only First, Retail Afterwards, Might Be Episodic Game
Jul 09, 2015MostafaGame News2
Square Enix’s newest Hitman franchise installment simply titled Hitman is coming on December 8th but there is a catch. December 8th’s release marks the digital only version while the physical retailer’s release still doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet.
This was revealed in the Q&A section on the Hitman websiteand it says:
“HITMAN will launch on PS4 on December 8th this year as a digital download. That’s when the experience will begin. And it’s really important to us that this is understood as a ‘beginning’,” the post states.
“What we release on December 8th is not the full game. It’s a sizeable chunk of it. Throughout 2016 we’ll release more locations and missions until the story arc is done and finished. All of that content is included in the $60 price.” the answercontinues. “We think the word ‘episodic’ sets up the expectation that we will sell individual content drops for individual prices but that’s not something we’re planning to do. That said, there are some episodic elements to the story in the sense that it’s delivered in chunks over time, so experiencing the story will probably feel episodic.”
This answer really complicates things as the answer really doesn’t excite us for the gameanymore. This answer might tell us that the game we will be getting is unfinished and they will rely on DLCs to even complete the game’s story and experience the game fully. They shouldn’t even have answered, things would have been better this way.

Yeah I'm more skeptical than ever. Nice try by them at a positive spin. I feel like they should stop being disrespectful to consumers, trying to get that holiday cash, and just delay this until it would all actually be fukkin available.
Sounds like theyre rushing this to the market. I expect a bunch of technical issuee

Agent 47’s back to work in this leaked Hitman footage
Ten minutes of leaked Hitman footage has surfaced onto the internet today, thanks to Daily Motion user All Games Beta, which shows off segments of Agent 47’s upcoming assassinating exploits as he does what he knows best – killing people for money.
In the footage, 47 appears to be on the hunt for two targets attending a fancy mansion party, filled to the brim with high-profile socialites and armed security. Never one to be put off by a challenge, 47 makes quick work of several unfortunate NPC’s including a chef who he then assumes the identity of, so he can begin poisoning the evening’s meal like the little fairy of death that he is.
It’s worth noting that the quality of the video isn’t representative of a final release, as made evident by the giant banner spread across the video stating that some of the assets seen are placeholder materials. Even still, the way loose bits of clothing sway on 47’s disguises as he makes his way around the environment is looking pretty polished, and the animations as he scales obstacles and progresses through the level are looking fluid and responsive.
Hitman currently has a December 8 release date for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with early beta access to the game being offered to those who pre-order beforehand.

Hitman Dev Addresses Digital Release, Price, Content Quality Concerns
"It will always be a polished Hitman experience," says IO Interactive

Developer IO Interactive has addressed the discussion around its upcoming Hitman, specifically concerns about the release strategy, quality of the content, and its online hooks.
In a Q&A, the studio clarified that, although Hitman will be released initially through digital platforms such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and Steam, it will also be released on disc "at some point in 2016," reiterating earlier reports about the physical release.
At E3 2015, IO revealed the new Hitman will be updated regularly with fresh content, leading to comparison with episodic titles. This, however, is an inaccurate description, according to its developer.
"We think the word 'episodic' sets up the expectation that we will sell individual content drops for individual prices but that’s not something we're planning to do," it explained.
"That said, there are some episodic elements to the story in the sense that it’s delivered in chunks over time, so experiencing the story will probably feel episodic. But there is also a ton of other content including live events, which have nothing to do with the story. We’ll also be improving and changing the game constantly whilst you’re playing it."
On the subject of price, IO provided assurances that the all content will be available as part of the standard $60 pricetag, and there are no microtransactions.
"That $60 includes everything we create in this story arc; from what we release on December 8 through to the end of the story arc in 2016 and all the live events too. There’s no microtransactions or hidden costs in there. No extra paid DLC on top either. It’s one package, all-in for $60. We want that to be simple and clear and it was important for us to be up-front about that."
Finally, IO tackled the discussion that the content released will be of an unfinished state, similar to in-development projects released through Early Access.
"Early access can often mean something unfinished or unpolished," it said. "That’s simply not the approach we’re taking. All of the content we release live to our players will be complete and polished,. It will always be a polished Hitman experience."
Publisher Square Enix has confirmed the Hitman release date as December 8. 2015 onXbox One, PC, and PS4. New assassination contracts, locations, and gameplay mechanics will be made available over time. Some of the missions will function as "live events," appearing for a brief time window and giving players just one chance to attempt these assassination contracts.
GameSpot got a chance to see the game at E3 2015. Read our full Hitman preview herefor more on the game.
We are going to get a big ass game w/o paying for extra DLC sh!t.
