The title was conceived as a re-imagining of the franchise as the team attempted to integrate the gameplay of Absolution with the open-endedness of earlier installments of the series. Square Enix Europe set up a Montréal studio to work on the next Hitman game, but IO Interactive returned to lead the game's development following the under-performance of Absolution. IO Interactive introduced a "live component" to the game with new content being regularly delivered in downloadable form. The game presents the player with various assassination opportunities, many of which are unconventional. Hitman features a number of large, open-ended sandboxes that Agent 47 can freely explore. The single-player story follows genetically engineered assassin Agent 47 as he goes on a worldwide adventure and solves a mysterious series of seemingly unconnected assassinations.

The game, which has six episodes, is the sixth mainline entry in the Hitman franchise, the first installment of the World of Assassination trilogy, and the successor to Hitman: Absolution (2012). It was released episodically for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One from March to October 2016. Hitman is a 2016 stealth video game developed by IO Interactive and published by Square Enix.
