Begrundelsen for udsættelsen er, at folkene hos IO Interactive har brug for tid til at tilføje mere indhold til spillet når det lanceres og for at kunne følge mere regelmæssigt op med mere indhold efter lanceringen. IO Interactive vil nemlig løbende udvide spillet med nye missioner og nye lokationer, baseret på feedback fra spillerne. Det kan vel næsten betegnes som et spil, inddelt i episoder, uden helt at være det. Disse tilføjelser til spillet, vil være gratis.
I forbindelse med udsættelsen, udtaler IO Interactive:
Hitman is the biggest venture we’ve ever undertaken at Io-Interactive. Not just in terms of scope and ambition but also in terms of the size of the game world itself. The playable area and density of our locations goes beyond anything we’ve built before. We’re striving to create a series of living, breathing worlds in those locations and we get pretty obsessed about every detail that you’ll experience.
Moving a launch date is never an easy decision, we know it’s frustrating to have to wait a bit longer for the game, but we truly believe it will mean we can deliver a better launch and overall experience. We’ll share more details next week about the full release schedule and scope of Hitman in general so keep a look out for that.
