The Windows Phone version was released on 27 April, 2015. Finally, the PC, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Vita versions were released on 23 February, 2016.

Chapters and Levels[]

Hitman GO was initially released with 68 levels in 5 chapters: 4 chapters of 15 levels, plus 8 levels in the "Curtains Down" chapter, inspired by the level from Hitman: Blood Money and another 8 inspired by the St. Petersburg Stakeout mission from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. Square Enix have since released a further 23 levels: 15 in an "Airport" chapter, on July 03, 2014, and 8 in the "Silent Assassin" chapter, on October 23, 2014.

The game has been given a board-game style, with the game menu, and each chapter's loading screen, depicting each chapter as if it were a different board game in its own box:

Hitman GO Ch5 Lvl8 Objectives

Additionally, although the levels have 3-dimensional set features, they are laid out in a grid pattern; Agent 47, and his enemies, are depicted as board-game counters; and each levels' objectives are depicted as playing cards. These objectives include finishing the level within a limited number of moves, killing all hostiles, killing no hostiles at all, retrieving a briefcase, etc. Often, it's impossible to finish all of these objectives within a single playthrough.

Enemies, Weapons, and Features[]

There are 8 different types of enemy:

  • Static - blue - stand still, facing a single direction,
  • Moving - yellow - walk to the limit of their line, turn through 180 degrees, and walk back.
  • Turning - teal - carry a knife, stand on one spot turning 180 degrees with each turn
  • Pair - grey - two guards standing on one spot facing opposite directions,
  • Patrolling - green and red - have a set, rectangular route,
  • Dog - static unless they see Agent 47 two steps ahead of him, when they will chase him indefinitely, until distracted by a noise or confused by a trap door
  • High-alert - dark blue, carrying a flashlight - behave like yellow enemies, but the flashlight allows them to see the rank and file to their right, so long as it exists, and the view isn't obstructed,
  • Marks - red - static, and normally looking at the view instead of guarding.

There are 2 guns: a rifle, and Agent 47's classic dual silverballers. Guns can be used directly, by shooting an enemy, or indirectly, by shooting a statue, which can fall on an enemy, and will also change the board layout.

There are 6 additional game features:

Hitman GO Plant
Hitman GO Plant+A47
  • Trap doors - connect one location on the board with another,
  • Potted plants - give Agent 47 a place to hide, allowing him to pass an enemy without killing them or being detected,
  • Statues - can sometimes be shot with a rifle to make them fall on an enemy, and render the path impassable,
  • Automatic walkways - push Agent 47, and enemies, to the end of their travel.
  • Litter - can be thrown by Agent 47 to an adjacent vacant spot for attracting/distracting enemies,
  • Wait points - make Agent 47 wait on the spot one turn, for the purposes of putting you in sync with different enemies.
