The action packed third-person shooter game published by Square Enix — "Hitman" — has been significantly enhanced for the PlayStation 4 Pro, and the patch will allegedly be released sometime before November ends.

IO Interactive's "Hitman" was initially released last March for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One consoles.

According to IO Interactive studio head Hannes Seifert, PlayStation 4 Pro users will soon be able to enjoy the third-person shooter game with a set of new significant graphic enhancements.

"Hitman" for the PlayStation 4 Pro will have an intensely detailed environment with reduced aliasing, enhanced surface reflections, improved detailed lighting effects, and a new user interface perfect for 4K display. What's more is that the new "Hitman" for the PlayStation 4 Pro is able to yield more details for higher texture quality since it maximizes the extra memory of the PlayStation 4. "Agent 47 has never looked so good," Seifert said.

Even though "Hitman" is an old franchise in the gaming industry, it is one that has great potential for improvements, and the PlayStation 4 Pro will be the one of the consoles that will let players enjoy the high-quality graphics game.

As the PlayStation 4 Pro gets released on Thursday, Nov. 10, PlayStation 4 Pro users will be able to enjoy playing all six episodes of the action-filled third person shooter "Hitman" series which includes: "Episode 1: The Showstopper at Paris," "Episode 2: World of Tomorrow at Sapienza," "Episode 3: A Gilded Cage at Marrakesh," "Episode 4: Club 47 at Bangkok," "Episode 5: Freedom Fighters at Colorado," and "Episode 6: Situs Inversus at Hokkaido."

Furthermore, the first season of "Hitman" will be released sometime in 2017, which means PlayStation 4 Pro players should make space for another "Hitman" game by next year.

Unfortunately, there is still no specific date set for the release of "Hitman's" first season, but speculations suggest that it will be released in January 2017.
