Reason for delay being placed on ‘new release model’

IO Interactive developers had used a new release model while developing new Hitman game, which has seriously impacted their release plan. Under this new release model, a bigger part of the game was expected to first, followed by the releases of remaining location over the time to increase its depth and story line. However, this approach happened to limit the amount of content, which can feature, on the Hitman new installment. IO Interactive simply decided to do away with the launch and concentrate on filling the game with more content, locations, environment and other features to ensure it retains its value in final form.

Few extra months will result in better game development

It certainly wasn’t a easier decision for the IO Interactive to move the launch date up ahead to next year. However, these few extra months will provide them the much needed time to add more content and launch the game as planned easier. This launch will be followed by a series of updates, which will help in boosting the prospect of game and to make it a whole as it was intended.

The previous installment of this game Hitman: Absolution was released in 2012, which saw a new direction in the franchise will the use a narrative focused and straight forward campaign. Earlier entries were simpler games, which were divided into different stages where a player had the task of identifying the targets and performing the assassination.
