'Hitman: Game of the Year Edition' Features New 'Zero Patient' Campaign

"Hitman: Game of the Year Edition" is set to arrive in a few days and IO Interactive has just released a new trailer for the game. The game developer also dropped the first content details for the game earlier this week, revealing that it will feature a new campaign titled "Patient Zero."

According to IO Interactive, the new edition of the game will feature all of the base content of the original game, including the episodic missions and resurrected Elusive Target missions of season 1. However, unlike in the original game, where players could only access the Elusive Target missions for a limited period of time, in "Hitman: Game of the Year Edition," they can experience these missions anytime they want. However, there's a catch.

In the original version of the game, the mission is forever gone if the player fails to complete an Elusive Target mission during its window of availability. In the new edition, players get to experience the missions they missed, but they will no longer be able to play the missions that they have previously failed.

One of the main highlights of the upcoming version of "Hitman" is its new campaign, "Patient Zero," which is comprised of the same maps from the original game but ties the levels of Sapienza, Bangkok, Colorado, and Hokkaido together to introduce a fresh narrative. Although the maps are pretty much the same as the ones in the original game, the layouts, objectives, disguises, and mechanics of each level are different.

Previously, IO Interactive officially separated from game publisher Square Enix but promised to keep the "Hitman" franchise despite its newfound independence. It released the first episode of "Hitman" for free back in June to tease the upcoming release of the "Game of the Year Edition."

"Hitman: Game of the Year Edition" will arrive on Nov. 7 on Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
