Hitman patch stops people talking to the dead (& adds 10 new challenges)


IO has always promised that Hitman will be a very reactive, live game - updated and tweaked according to feedback and how people are are playing. Now we have the first details on that with the upcoming Vampire Magician Challenge Pack.

The new pack is currently detailed on Steam and adds '10 new challenges that were inspired by how our community have been playing the game'. Everything always arrives on Steam first so I'm assuming it'll head to PS4 and XB1 in the next few weeks, depending on approval.

And, because patch notes alway have a gem or two in the bullet points, you'll be pleased to know that Novikov can no longer phone up Dalia after you've killed her. Dead people now stay dead, which makes life as an assassin so much easier.

Elsewhere, loading has been improved and a few bugs squashed. There's also some important gameplay changes which I've listed below.

• Prompts for dumping a body now appear, regardless of the positioning of the game camera, both in Showstopper and Final Test missions.
• 47 no longer drops a body immediately after starting to drag it.
• Unnoticed kills or subdue will no longer trigger a brief “compromised” state. This previously caused players to fail the ‘never spotted’ reward.
• The ‘visibly armed’ warning is now always shown when 47 is carrying a large weapon on his back.
• The light rig (Showstopper) and life raft (Freeform Training) can now be reliably dropped using explosives.
