PSX 2015: Hitman Beta Coming to PS4 February 2016

Hitman / 5 Dec 2015

By Seth G. Macy

The start date for the Hitman beta was revealed today by IO Interactive. The beta begins February 12, 2016 on PS4 and is open to anyone who pre-ordered the game on PS4.

Additionally, six extra contacts known as "The Sarajevo Six" will be exclusive to the PS4 version of the final game, which releases on March 11 of next year.

The first three contracts will be available on launch, with the remaining "becoming available as new locations are released during 2016."

The Hitman beta is set 20 years in the past "at a top secret ICA recruitment and training facility," with the mission revolving around how Agent 47 was recruited into the organization. The developer calls it a "moment of huge interest to fans," as well as a good jumping-off point for newcomers to the series.

Earlier in the year, IO Interactive announced Hitman was being delayed until March. With the new beta coming in February, it seems like a good sign that further delays won't be a problem.

Today it was also revealed that mobile Hitman game Hitman GO will be coming to PS4 and PS Vita in the future.
