According to the companies, Hitman: Definitive Edition features new in-game disguises for Agent 47 inspired by other IO Interactive games like Freedom Fighters, Kane & Lynch, and Mini Ninjas. The Danish studio has been around for twenty years now so this release is also a celebration of its history. As expected, the package also contains all of the Hitman content released for the first season of the game.

Today, Warner Bros. and IO Interactive announced a worldwide publishing and distribution deal for Hitman . As part of this, Warner Bros. will publish the Hitman: Definitive Edition for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on May 18, 2018.

David Haddad, the President of Warner Bros. Interactive, issued the following statement alongside the Hitman: Definitive Edition announcement.

We're very excited to be working with IO Interactive, a talented studio with a long-standing legacy creating the iconic Hitman games. The passionate, global Hitman community has embraced the recent return of the series, and we're thrilled to bring the Hitman: Definitive Edition to fans and new players next month.

IO Interactive has been through a lot recently since its split from Square Enix. It's great to see that the studio found a publisher. Hopefully the team will officially announce the next season of Hitman soon. E3 2018 is almost here so it's a great time to do so!

If you don't want to wait for Hitman: Definitive Edition, you can always play the complete first season right now on various platforms. The game currently goes for roundly $40 and features Xbox One X enhancements.
