Hitman is a six episodes game with different contracts. The action takes place as a prequel to Hitman: Agent 47 (only prologue) and episodes take place six years after Hitman: Absolution. All contracts are being ordered by a "shadow client" and seem to be unrelated. But as you fulfil those contracts, you start to realise that all of the targets somehow are a part of a secret organisation called the Providence. While playing Agent 47, you have a large amount of free will in completing those contracts. The main target is all that matters, and you can do anything to kill this person in your style and fashion. You can disguise as a different person and infiltrate secured area to perform the kill manually or use a long-range sniper rifle to do the trick. Your surroundings help you a lot as well by listening to nearby chat or news reports. Players are given as much freedom as possible to find your professional style in the art of killing. A large amount of DLC and expanded missions can either give you gimmick-based contracts and travel to Japan, Serbia and other countries.

Business
BudgetReported
~$100 million
IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak later described Hitman (2016) as 'a $100 million game' (development/investment scale, not revenue)

Revenue
Not disclosed

No discrete per-title units-sold figure was published for Hitman 2016 (later folded into HITMAN World of Assassination, 25M+ units / 80M+ players by 2025); player counts are not equivalent to sales, so no revenue gross is derived here. The ~$100M figure is the CEO's stated development/investment scale.
