Hitman Video Shows 10 Minutes of Early Gameplay Footage

Unofficial footage of the IO Interactive's upcoming Hitman game has leaked.

The video offers an early look at a double assassination mission, as well as some of the equipment Agent 47 will have at his disposal.

The video does clearly state, however, that the footage "May contain placeholder assets."

Travis Barbour, community for IO Interactive, has said Hitman "looks and plays a lot better than" than what is shown in the video.

"Proof to come, of course," he added.

In an attempt to clear up confusion about the game's release schedule, developer IO Interactive recently clarified the game is not episodic, nor an early access game, contrary to earlier reports. However the studio did confirm an eventual disc release "at some point in 2016," following the game's initial digital-only release.

IO also assured fans that the apparently substantial content updates--including new missions, locations, and even gameplay mechanics--will all be free, and that there will be no microtransactions.

As well as the free content updates, there will also be "live events," where designated missions will appear for a short time, giving players just one chance at the assassination contract.

Hitman is due for digital release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on December 8.
