@DK75 It's the stater level to give people a taste of the game, maybe encouraging them to buy the game, more people buying hitman games encourages the devs to make more games. how is that a bad thing

i'm feeling dumb because i can't find where to download this

@RSMS nah, I can't find where either. It's like they forgot to enable it before posting about it on their site, Steam, and spamming everyone with emails about it. If it's available then it's hidden as ♥♥♥♥, and they aren't linking to it anywhere - even in the article on their site.

@RSMS It goes live in about 40 minutes from now

Moral here: never pay full price for a Hitman game again

The fact that one small level is free negatively impacts the experience of those who paid for it in precisely zero ways. Shadow of Mordor often drops to $5. Is that a $55 insult to those who bought it when it came out five years ago? You paid to support IOI, and for earlier access to it. The free bit is one SMALL part of the game, and you've been able to play the entire thing for months now. Relax. This affects you guys in no way at all.

Why not just call it a demo? =D Afraid people who knew what demo version is are dead of old age? =D lel

^^haha

Stfu DK75 you whiny ♥♥♥♥♥.

Oh, I thought Nightcall already was free before? Guess not. Anyway I totally support this. I had absolutely no interest in playing a Hitman game before I "won" this game in a mystery bundle, and now I've fallen in love with it to the point I went and bought the legacy DLC at full price (only $20 I know, but I don't do full price anything when it comes to AAAs). So anything that gets more newcomers playing is good to me. Keep up the good work ioibois.

@Whomping Walrus
I can agree with you, but at the same time, this SMALL part is treated as one of 6 maps you've payed for, yet it's barely a tutorial. Actually, far simpler than original final mission of tutorial.

Please put HITMAN (2016) on discount aswell if you have a discount on HITMAN 2

The free tutorial level they had already made available for everyone was just the tutorial - the level in the military compound/on the ship. That might be why people seem to have thought this one was already free, since it's the first of the second installment.

If Hitman 1 is any indication, they'll release more levels for free later down the line, & you can collect them that way if you're patient enough to wait. They're just trying to tease out a purchase by baiting people who enjoy the game enough to pay for all of it before then.

Quick, someone give me an excuse to write another paragraph no one cares to read. Gotta avoid work somehow!

Are we going to have any new locations?

Add DX12, your damn game engine is so CPU bottlenecked its not even funny hitman 2016 supported it and runs tons better...
