The word sicario means hitman in Spanish There is a Hitman villain in the top ten whose real name is Burt Kenyon and he served with Castle in the military. His military unit could be an easy way to set up characters like Hitman, Bushwacker and Barracuda if the writers want to or it could be[...]

  Developer Io Interactive announced the final elusive target for their episodic Season One of Hitman which will go live on Friday Io made the announcement on Twitter, which is usually where they post their Elusive Target announcements, but this one is definitely more bittersweet than usual.

Square Enix today released IO Interactive's episodic Hitman game for Mac While the episodic game was developed and produced while IO was a subsidiary of Square Enix, the decision to publish the game on Mac just days after IO reports that they own the Hitman rights seems like a pretty obvious pushback from SE[...]

Most of that centered around the rights to the Hitman franchise And in a recent blog post, IO have claimed that they hold full rights to publishing the games, and therefore will be able to go ahead and take Hitman out with them on their solo tour. Specifically, that blog reads, "Therefore I am proud to announce today that IOI[...]

Despite splitting with developer IO Interactive, according to an English transcript of the company's recent end-of-year results call hints that Square Enix is looking to continue the Hitman franchise. This one comes to us via GameSpot and seems to completely counteract what we knew of the Hitman rights in the aftermath of Square's decision to part was with IO. GameStar previously reported[...]

The studio announced today that they've begun laying off employees following the split. The reason for the layoffs remains vague, with the studio only claiming, "we're sad that great talent and good friends will be leaving the studio."

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Hitman: The Complete First Season is a great way for Hitman fans who were worried about the episodic format to get on board with the new game While you can still feel the places where individual episodes were cut, playing the game the whole way through as a collected edition feels much more like[...]

Hitman was one of the biggest surprises in games last year In fact, it might well be the biggest It ranked in the top 5 of Bleeding Cool's Game of the Year, and I really didn't expect that a year ago. The game's full complete season release is coming to stores in one box from January 31st,[...]

However, the game feels complete enough from my experiences, it's out on PlayStation 4 which doesn't typically allow early access and the game is not far from completion by most reports (even though I don't believe 'complete' will mean updates are done) so I'm more than comfortable putting it on this list. #4 Hitman Hitman as a[...]

Hitman has been on a pretty great journey since its release, really becoming one of the surprises of the year It really has taken people by storm, which is not something anyone expected when the game was changing its episodic nature right before release. Season 1 will be concluding today though with the release of the[...]

Hitman has ended up being one of the real surprises of the year The game's episodic nature had a lot of people worried before it came out, but all the levels have been really very good. And season one is just about ready to be closed out It's been revealed that this batch will conclude on[...]

Hitman has been really knocking it out of the park with its content since it started its release schedule back in March The levels have been great and with some really inventive 'illusive targets', it has quickly become one of the most celebrated titles of the year. We are coming towards the end of 'Season 1'[...]

Hitman has started to drift back into my regular rotation recently, as I've loved going back and exploring the game's freedom to really murder someone how you want to It sounds grim, but it rarely stops being hard, fun or surprising. It's proven really popular with critics and players, but after next week's episode, there will[...]

So this is… interesting? The elusive targets in Hitman are a really cool idea, which tasks you with taking out a target, but the catch is, if you fail, you are never allowed to try again It's been really cool to see this play out and I've loved trying them out. The next target is pretty out[...]

Hitman is chugging along now, and the third episode for the game is hitting today Taking us to Marrakesh, we will be taking on a bad guy who has seemingly manipulated the system to gain power. You can see his justification for his actions in this launch trailer that is heralding the new busy map[...]

Hitman has been really quite brilliant this far The episodic nature of the title has been, surprisingly, working well for the game, giving each of the massive maps plenty of time to breathe. The Sapienza map is barely cold, having come by just recently, but we are already moving on It's been announced that next week[...]

It's hard to dislike it, when really the whole thing is so lovely. Hitman Hitman is obviously not a full game yet, but there are two episodes out thus far and they are quite excellent This is everything that has ever been great about Hitman focused on big levels with loads of replayabillity It rewards creativity, and[...]

Hitman's first mission was a great reintroduction for the series The Paris fashion launch felt big and detailed, with secrets to find all over. Well, the next mission is incoming Taking place in Sapienza, it will be with us next week launching on April 26th It looks more peaceful than the last outing, but there does seem[...]

The Paris Hitman mission that launched earlier this month was excellent It had wonderful level design and environmental work in it, plus the possibilities to dispatch your targets were really quite inventive My one problem with it was that the package didn't yet have enough content in it. That is growing quickly though, and now we[...]

Hitman, at least the first level that has been released, is a tightly wound stealth puzzle game It really is quite an excellent realization of the franchise and I am eagerly awaiting more. It turns out that it is also a rather hilarious stage on which to perform murderous high-jinks. Achievement Hunter have posted this video showing you[...]

I was incredibly impressed with the introduction of Hitman last week While I think the episodic nature of the game is a little odd, what's there is really fantastic The Paris Fashion Week level is a wonderfully designed level and something that has given me huge confidence in going forward. And it's not just my word[...]
