Square Enix, publisher of IO Interactive's upcoming game Hitman

Sony sent out a message of the cancelation to those who have pre-ordered the game, which Videogamer's David Scammell posted to Twitter. The notice sent out matches a similar one posted by PlayStation's support staff yesterday. "The publisher has notified us that the configuration of the product you pre-ordered has changed significantly," the post reads. "As a result we have withdrawn the current pre-order from PlayStation Store and will cancel all existing pre-orders. If you have pre-ordered the game, you will receive email confirmation when your pre-order has been cancelled. A revised pre-order for Hitman will be available on the store soon."Square Enix responded to the cancelations today on the game's official Twitter , stating "If your Hitman preorder is cancelled, don't panic. Release date is still March 11. We're adjusting a few things & will update in a few days."Whether this will have an impact on the PS4 Hitman beta, which is available to those who pre-ordered the game, remains to be seen. The beta is set to launch on February 12. Agent 47's upcoming game was originally set to launch on December 8, 2015 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One, but was delayed a few months to March 11.
