Square Enix has revealed the first details about the Hitman game in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

In an open letter, developer IO Interactive reveals that you'll play "a globetrotting Agent 47 at the prime of his career – the apex predator stalking his prey across the world, with the support of his long-term handler Diana Burnwood and the whole of the ICA."

"The game concentrates on the core Hitman fantasy of using a wide range of tools to take out a diverse group of targets across expansive, exotic locations around the world," it continues. "We’re packing in an extreme level of detail on the largest levels we have ever built for a Hitman game.

"We’ve adopted an open, non-linear level design approach to the game, ensuring the game will play out across huge, checkpoint-free, sandbox levels. Our aim is to create living, breathing and believable levels which will allow gamers to play around with the AI to create those unique moments every fan of the Hitman franchise loves."

The letter also confirms that Contract mode will be returning to the series, allowing you to create and build challenges within the levels and then challenge friends to complete them. Mercifully, 47's 'magic pockets' have also been removed.

While no release date is hinted at, it's a relief to hear that a game is on the way seeing as there was recently a scare it'd been cancelled.
