Agent 47's journey continues with the release of "Hitman: Episode 2" on Apr. 26. Following the "Hitman" Intro Pack set in Paris, the second episode will find Agent 47 travelling to the fictional Italian town of Sapienza.

In "Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza," players will be transported to a bright and sunny coastal town. The massive but dense map will have a lot of places to explore, including mansions, a medieval church by the beach, cramped alleyways, and a variety of stores.

The introduction of Sapienza will also bring in new challenges, opportunities, and stories waiting to unfold. Furthermore, "dark secrets and engaging storylines are everywhere to be found in the charming Sapienza," Square Enix revealed.

Following the release of Sapienza, four more "Hitman" episodes are scheduled to come out. Players get to experience the bustling markets of Marrakesh, Morroco in May. Other locations to be released within the year will include Thailand, USA, and Japan. With each new episode, there will be new campaign missions, new signature kills, and new contracts mode targets. There will also be live events to be held each week.

While players will have to wait until the end of April to play Sapienza, the latest game update for "Hitman" recently introduced the Vampire Magician Challenge Pack. With 10 new challenges, players will have to wear the Vampire Magician disguise and use different methods in order to take down targets. Game improvements and fixes to issues were also introduced.

For those interested in entering the world of assassination, the complete "Hitman" experience is available to purchase for $59.99. On the other hand, the Intro Pack is available for $14.99, and access to each monthly episode will be $9.99.

Stay tuned for all the news and updates on the upcoming "Hitman" episodes.

"Hitman" is available to play for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Microsoft Windows PC.
