On Monday, April 25, Io-Interactive will release a new Hitman update on PS4 and Xbox One that reduces load times and restart times across all locations by “approximately 50%.” They’ll also add a reconnect option for people playing online who get disconnected, allowing them to resume play without losing any progress, instead of returning to the main menu.
