Square Enix's newest Hitman game will be included among the game titles that will be supporting the PlayStation 4 Pro when the console finally launches next week, as announced today by developer IO Interactive. In a recent statement, the developer explained that Hitman for PS4 Pro will be having a whole new layer of detail incorporated into it. Its overall graphics quality and resolution will be enhanced, while at the same time, the reflective surfaces should also be amped up alongside a more detailed lighting effect on the game. Additionally, the game's aliasing will also be reduced.
Hitman has just been improved visually
Hitman players can expect a cleaner and crisper UI rendered at a native 4K display. Hitman will also make use of the PS4 Pro's added memory to stream in higher-quality textures, which will yield more details. IO Interactive also added that the game's framerate will not be affected as a result for the enhanced visuals. "With Hitman, we made a live game which is constantly growing and improving and the PS4 Pro aligns perfectly with that vision of constant improvement; we're proud to support it," as per IO studio head, Hannes Seifert.
You don't need to have a 4K TV to be able to enjoy the visual upgrades
Even if you don't have your very own 4K TV to take full advantage of the enhanced visuals, Hitman for PS4 Pro is still going to have visibly higher quality shading and less flickering highlights even on a 1080p TV set. The PS4 Pro will officially launch on November 10 and is priced at $400. Hitman will definitely not be the only game getting a PS4 Pro update. Along with the official launch of the console will also be an introduction of all available games that have been patched to be PS4 Pro compatible.
More Hitman Seasons coming
The 6th and final episode of the episodic game have just been released earlier this week. But, more Hitman seasons may be coming, as IO Interactive previously confirmed that its plan for the game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC is to have a total of three more seasons. This is only the beginning for more to come.
