Hitman delayed until 2016 to offer more content at release

IO Interactive advised it will be delaying Hitman into 2016.

Now scheduled for March 2016, the delay will add more content to the title at launch.

“These few extra months will mean we can add more to the launch content of the game, more than we had originally planned, and then follow with a tighter frequency of updates, which ultimately will create a better game for everyone,” IO Interactive advised via the Hitman blog.

IO Interactive has been under fire for the way in which it planned to release Hitman. Originally planned for December, the developer said most content wouldn’t be available at launch, later asserting fans shouldn’t think of the title as an early access-type release. Looks like IO and Square Enix have gone back on that plan.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
