Only a few days until their multiplatform beta test for HITMAN begins, Square Enix and Io-Interactive have released a new ‘Beta Launch’ trailer for the game. This beta test is set to see players join Agent 47 on his very first assignment for the International Contract Agency, and will serve as a sampler for what’s to come during 2016 as the multi-instalment tale unfolds.
Labeled “The Prologue”, the Beta takes place twenty years before the Paris Showstopper mission. Set in a secret ICA training facility, the Prologue features a pivotal moment in Agent 47’s life – his introduction to the ICA and very first meeting with his future handler Diana Burnwood. The Prologue features two free-form training hits, which will introduce players to the features and mechanics of the upcoming HITMAN game. The Prologue will be available as part of the first episode of HITMAN when it launches on March 11th 2016.
The PlayStation 4 beta test for HITMAN will begin at 9pm AEDT on February 12th 2016 and will end on February 15th 2016. The PC beta however will begin on February 19th at 9pm AEDT and will conclude on February 22nd. Guaranteed access to this test will come with pre-ordering the “Full Experience” or “Intro” packs for HITMAN.
