The Hitman episodic series has been an unexpected success in terms of both commercial and critical response, but it looks there’s something people will understand pretty hardly by July 19. The promised Summer Bonus Episode is indeed not coming really soon, and not free, to those not owning the Season Pass which covers the entire Hitman experience.

“For players who own the Full Experience or own the combination of Intro Pack + Upgrade Pack, the Summer Bonus Episode is included at no additional cost and will unlock on July 19th,” you can read on Hitman’s official website.

“For all other players, the Summer Bonus Episode will be available for individual purchase later in the Season, packaged together with a third bonus mission for one price. At that time, Full Experience and Upgrade Pack owners will also get access to the third bonus mission at no additional cost.”

What makes people angry, as remarked by a thread on NeoGaf, is Square Enix and IO Interactive weren’t clear from the very first moment when detailing the Summer Bonus Episode offer. They initially said this was coming at the same moment for everyone, and would not been withdrawn for players not owning the Season Pass.

Is this anything that will make you change your mind about Hitman? What do you expect from the Summer Bonus Episode? Let us know in the comments below.
