The latest update to Hitman allows for the use of offline profiles.
The mandatory update allows gamers to progress on a separate offline profile, meaning that you will now longer lose unlocks or progess should you get knocked offline.
You will still automatically connect to the IO servers, but it is now no longer a deal breaker should you wish to play the game completely by yourself.
In addition, the update introduced a number of other smaller features including various bug fixes.
The full season of Hitman is now available to download on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with a retail version releasing on 31 January 2017.
