ORIGINAL STORY 06/09/2016 4.17pm: Hitman's next episode has been dated and detailed, with the next instalment of IO's excellent murder simulator taking place in Colorado and coming out on September 27th.

The new episode - the fifth so far for those keeping count - is called 'Freedom Fighters', and it takes place on a Colorado farm that's home to a private militia. IO's calling it the toughest mission yet, with the area being predominantly hostile territory and with four targets to take down. It's also to set up the finale which will feature Japan as a backdrop.
