"Hitman" will have its season 1 finale launched this month, and Square Enix has teased the location of the game, making fans much more hyped up about the title. After all, when "Hitman" first came out, a lot of players were skeptical about it, but as time went by, it slowly won over the people that served as the foundation of its fanbase.

According to Game Rant, the new "Hitman" game is not really one of the most highly-acclaimed games this year, but it has certainly turned Square Enix around int its own quiet way. It was able to help fans forget about their disappointment over the last few games by becoming both familiar and innovative.

This is especially the case after the game was delayed since most players thought that the finished title will be disjointed and incomplete, but most were surprised to learn that the game was able to deliver much more compared to its previous installments.

Most people speculate that the reason why "Hitman" was overwhelmingly successful is due to its episodic approach. Its previous releases were all about rushing from one level to the next, but using this approach, players of the game were forced to explore each of its episodes thoroughly, leading them to appreciate the game's design and the title as a whole.

As such, according to The Bit Bag, the "Hitman" game will now proceed with its season finale. The last episode will be set in Hokkaido, Japan.

The announcement was accompanied  by a trailer, which seems to insinuate that the new location will be massive, which will feature other interesting sub-locations like a sushi restaurant and a traditional Japanese-style hot spring.

The reason behind the design could be attributed to the ongoing theme of level intricacy that first started with "Hitman Episode 1: Paris," which continued in subsequent episodes even up to this one. Regardless, it will be released on Oct. 31 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
