IO Interactive has begun rolling out a new patch for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Hitman that aims to improve load times, fix issues with scoring and restore pre-order customers’ missing Requeim Pack items.
It also introduces 10 new challenges that task players of killing their targets while wearing the Vampire Magician disguise.
Hitman 1.03 Patch Notes
- The Vampire Magician Challenge Pack includes 10 new challenges that were inspired by how our community have been playing the game. Each challenge requires you to wear the Vampire Magician disguise while taking down targets using a range of different methods.
- Continued improvements to load times: The improvements will be most notable when loading The Showstopper mission in Paris and we’re already working on improving all loading times even more.
- Improved responsiveness for in-game menus and image loading: We’ve implemented an image caching system that will improve responsiveness and loading times for all images in the game menu.
- Fixed issues with scoring: Primarily, this fixes an issue that resulted in many players earning a “0 second” time bonus and an incorrect score of 210,000. A leaderboard reset will be implemented at a later date.
- Continued improvements to connectivity: Server stability improvements.
- Missing ‘Requiem Pack’ items have been restored: For those affected, these items will now be available to choose from the planning screen again.
- Fixed numerous issues that were causing crashes: General improvements to game stability.
IO says that the update is due to roll out on PC “in the very near future”.
A release date for Hitman’s second episode, Sapienza, meanwhile, is due to be announced later this week.
