Hitman’s January 31 update – which coincides with the game’s first season coming to retail – will feature a new tougher difficulty mode, Io-Interactive has announced.

Professional Difficulty introduces a range of changes designed to make the act of killing and getting away with it even more challenging.

  • Strict item rules so players will be noticed carrying suspicious items
  • Disguises that can be ruined depending how you take out the NPC wearing them
  • New security camera rules
  • Limited save games and more

To unlock Professional Difficulty Level players will need to reach Mastery Level 20 for each location. Professional Difficulty Level will be available for all main Story missions only, excluding Prologue.

The game’s imminent update will also roll out HDR support across all formats, excluding the original Xbox One.
