<p>Io-Interactive today released a new trailer, the ‘Legacy Opening Cinematic’ bridges the twenty-year gap in the new <em>Hitman</em> game between the end of the Prologue and the Sanguine Fashion Show in Paris.</p>
<p>The trailer takes viewers all the way back to the thermal baths of the Hotel Gallard in Budapest as seen in the original Codename: 47 and to the Chilean Delgado vineyard from Blood Money, as it charts a journey through some iconic <em>Hitman</em> moments.</p>

<p>Plus, after a successful beta on PS4, Io-Interactive now invites all PlayStation Plus members to try out the <em>Hitman</em> beta on March 4.</p>
<p>“Our initial beta was an extremely helpful moment for our new <em>Hitman</em> game, as it gave us great insight into how the server game mechanics function under pressure. A lot of those pressure points are currently being strengthened for release,” said Hannes Seifert, Studio Head at Io-Interactive. “Now Sony have given us the opportunity to go even bigger to validate some of the initial things we saw. Therefore we are inviting everyone who is a PlayStation Plus member to try the same beta and you don’t have to pre-order the game. This will allow us to really stress test our server setup, which is a crucial element for us to get just right.”</p>
<p>Labeled “The Prologue”, the Beta takes 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 &#8211; 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 players to the features and mechanics of the upcoming <em>Hitman</em> game. The Prologue will also be available as part of the first episode of <em>Hitman</em>.</p>
<p><em>Hitman</em> will launch on March 11th for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam.</p>
