– The finale of Season 1 in the new Hitman game has been dated. The mission will be hitting on October 31 and will be set in Hokkaido Japan. The developers promise this will be the most challenging area yet and will be a culmination of what players have learned throughout the Hitman journey. There is no word as yet if there will be more seasons of Hitman but it appears the episodic nature of this entry has been both a critical and commercial success.
