Square Enix and developer IO Interactive have all hands at the pump in preparation of the imminent beta test for Hitman. Set to go live for PlayStation 4 users first on February 12, today brings forth a new trailer for the vertical slice, along with a detailed breakdown of the content therein.
Weighing in at 4.7GB in size – how very apropos – the beta will expand to PC soon thereafter (February 19) though there are no plans to host an early test on Xbox One.
Hosting a FAQ in anticipation of the beta’s arrival, Square cautioned that the only way to access said test is by pre-ordering a digital version of the stealth title either on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Those who pre-ordered physical copies of Hitman aren’t eligible.
Here’s an extract from the FAQ section. YouTubers and content creators will be pleased to note that you will be able to share images and gameplay videos from the pre-release build.
