Square Enix and IO Interactive confirmed today that Hitman, the episodic latest entry in the series, is going to receive a new patch next week, a patch that will introduce a new feature that will make the game look better than ever.

　　The new Hitman update, which will release on January 31st on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will introduce HDR support to the game. A new screenshot showcasing some of the improvements that will be introduced by the new update has also been released, and you can check it out below.

　　As an example, think of 47 in a dark room looking out a bright window. Without HDR you would not be able make out what’s outside, whereas with HDR you can simultaneously see details inside the room and outside the window. Another extreme example is the sun. Without HDR we could not render the sun brighter than a white piece of paper, so we had to ‘simulate’ the sun being blinding. With HDR we can draw the sun several times brighter, so that it is actually close to being blinding, just like in real life.

　　Hitman is now available in all regions on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The update introducing HDR support will release on January 31st on all formats.
