Hitman 1.03 Update Notes:

The Vampire Magician Challenge Pack includes 10 new challenges that were inspired by how the community have been playing the game.

  • Each challenge requires you to wear the Vampire Magician disguise while taking down targets using a range of different methods.

Continued improvements to load times

  • The improvements will be most notable when loading The Showstopper mission in Paris and the development team is already working on improving all loading times even more.

Improved responsiveness for in-game menus and image loading

  • The dev team have implemented an image caching system that will improve responsiveness and loading times for all images in the game menu.

Fixed issues with scoring

  • Primarily, this fixes an issue that resulted in many players earning a “0 second” time bonus and an incorrect score of 210,000. A leaderboard reset will be implemented at a later date.

Continued improvements to connectivity

  • Server stability improvements.

Missing ‘Requiem Pack’ items have been restored

  • For those affected, these items will now be available to choose from the planning screen again.

Fixed numerous issues that were causing crashes

  • General improvements to game stability.

Also we reported this week, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics announced that 2016 is Tomb Raider’s 20-year celebration.
