Hitman will be receiving new content after it releases in a manner similar to episodic games. IO Interactive says new assassination contracts, locations, and gameplay mechanics will be made available over time. Some of these assassination contracts will only appear once, within a small time window--the example given was 48 hours. Players will only have one chance to attempt these assassination contracts. Square Enix says the game's storyline will "conclude in 2016" in this fashion.
