Square Enix hat einen nichtssagenden Video-Teaser zur Episode 2 von Hitman veröffentlicht, der aber immerhin das Datum verrät. Ab dem 26. April startet die Folge mit dem Untertitel Sapienza, in der Agent 47 den gleichnamigen italienischen Urlaubsort unsicher macht. Käufer der kompletten Staffel bekommen das Kapitel natürlich kostenlos, Besitzer des Intro-Pakets müssen rund 10 Dollar investieren.



Im offiziellen Forum wurde außerdem verkündet, dass das Update 1.03 für PS4 und Xbox One veröffentlicht wurde, welches u.a. zehn Herausforderungen im Vampir-Magier-Kostüm hinzufügt und die Ladezeiten verkürzt. PC-Nutzer werden später bedient:

"We just released a new game update for HITMAN, which adds the Vampire Magician Challenge Pack, improvements to load times and many other fixes. This update will start rolling out today, March 31st for PS4 and Xbox One players and will be coming to PC in the very near future. Read on for the full release notes.

The Vampire Magician Challenge Pack includes 10 new challenges that were inspired by how our community have been playing the game.
Each challenge requires you to wear the Vampire Magician disguise while taking down targets using a range of different methods.

Continued improvements to load times
The improvements will be most notable when loading The Showstopper mission in Paris and we're already working on improving all loading times even more.

Improved responsiveness for in-game menus and image loading
We've implemented an image caching system that will improve responsiveness and loading times for all images in the game menu.

Fixed issues with scoring
Primarily, this fixes an issue that resulted in many players earning a “0 second” time bonus and an incorrect score of 210,000. A leaderboard reset will be implemented at a later date.

Continued improvements to connectivity
Server stability improvements.

Missing 'Requiem Pack' items have been restored
For those affected, these items will now be available to choose from the planning screen again.

Fixed numerous issues that were causing crashes
General improvements to game stability."
