The Hitman beta will begin on PS4 this Friday, February 12 at 10am GMT, and end three days later on February 15 at 10am, Square Enix has announced.
The PC beta will then begin at 10am on February 19, running until February 22 at 10am.
The PS4 beta will come in at around 4.7GB (4.7, 47, Agent 47) – and includes the game’s Prologue, with the PC version said to be a similar size download.
“That’s the very beginning of the game, set at a top secret recruitment and training facility,” explains the Hitman FAQ. “The Prologue revolves around how Agent 47 joined the ICA and shows the first time that 47 meets his long-time handler, Diana Burnwood.
“The Prologue contains an introduction to the gameplay features and mechanics in Hitman, and two free-form training hits. You’ll be able to replay each hit as many times as you wish throughout the beta period to complete the challenges and the multiple ways to take down your target – as you would expect.”
Contracts Mode will not be included in the beta and progress won’t carry across to the released game on March 11.
To secure a place in the beta you’ll need to pre-order the game digitally on PlayStation 4 via PSN or PC via Steam. Access to the Hitman Beta is available for the pre-orders of the Full Experience, Intro Pack and Collector’s Edition, but not the retail edition coming to stores later in the year.
