Hitman’s closed beta will begin on February 12, 2016 on PS4 and February 19, 2016 on PC, IO Interactive has announced. The beta will not be available on Xbox One.

Guaranteed access will only be available to players who pre-order, although it isn’t yet clear whether other players may be invited, too. We don’t yet know when it is due to end, either.

Nevertheless, the beta will debut a brand new map set at a top secret ICA training facility 20 years in the past, exploring the origins of Agent 47’s recruitment. It’ll also reveal the first time 47 meets his handler Diana Burnwood.

You can get a glimpse at what it looks like in these new screenshots and the trailer below.

In addition, the PS4 version of the final game will also receive six exclusive contracts unavailable on other platforms.

“The Sarajevo Six” are described as “self-contained contracts that see Agent 47 travel the world in pursuit of six former members of a paramilitary unit called CICADA. Each target was a private soldier guilty of committing brutal war crimes. Many years later, fate is finally catching up with them.”

Hitman launches digitally on PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 11, 2016, with additional contracts and locations rolling out during April, May and June.
