Hitman is getting another delay, but only partially. Square Enix announced that it no longer plans to release the globetrotting assassination game's first three major locations all at once, instead parceling them out month-by-month in a more standard episodic format. The first big sandbox area, which includes that Paris fashion show, is still set to be released on March 11.

The Italy location will be released in April, and then the Morocco map will roll out in May. Areas set in Thailand, the US, and Japan will be released in that order throughout the rest of 2016, along with additional monthly content updates. IO Interactive is still planning a full lineup of live events throughout the year, on top of the usual story missions and player-made Contracts.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo.
