Agent 47 is trying to be so stealthy that his latest game won’t be making its December release date, in fact he will be showing up three months late. Square Enix has announced that Hitman is now going to be released in March 2016. The reason for this delay is due to the fact that, despite the title originally being set for December, it was going to launch with only a small amount of content that would be expanded for free over the course of the year.
The content updates will still be free, but IO Interactive has stated that the Hitman delay is to “add more launch content to the launch content of the game, more than we had originally planned, and then follow with a tighter frequency of updates.”
