I/O Interactive has revealed that Hitman‘s seven episodes should be done releasing before the end of summer.
They revealed these release plans on Twitter in response to a fan question.

I/O Interactive has previously revealed the locations for the upcoming episodes. The Intro pack brings players to the prologue location, and then to Sanguine, Paris. April will bring players to Sapienza, Italy, and then Marrakesh, Morocco. The remaining episodes are set in the United States, Thailand, and Japan, respectively.
Interestingly, I/O also recently revealed plans to delay the physical release of Hitman all the way back to 2017. Square Enix claims this gives them enough time to make the physical release the best it can be following all the episodes for the season. Presumably, this means the eventual physical release will have all seven episodes. It could also mean, if I/O is planning to release even more content between now and 2017, that they can bundle it with the physical release as well. There is also the possibility the physical release will contain the PlayStation 4-exclusive Sarajevo Six content, and this time it may come to Xbox One and PC players too.
Hitman is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can read the official GameRanx review here and watch a real-life game of Hitman here.
