Hitman PC beta pre-load now available

The PC beta for Io-Interactive's Hitman begins tomorrow, but fans who want a jump start can now begin pre-loading the game.

The Hitman PC beta is scheduled to start at 8:00am PST on February 19th and ends at the same time on February 22nd.

The beta is labeled "The Prologue," taking place twenty years before the Paris Showstopper mission.

"Set in a secret ICA training facility, the Prologue features a pivotal moment in Agent 47’s life – his introduction to the ICA and very first meeting with his future handler Diana Burnwood."

The Prologue features two free-form training hits, which will introduce you to the features and mechanics of the upcoming game. The Prologue will also be available as part of the first episode of Hitman, releasing on March 11, 2016.
