Today Hitman will be updated on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The update will also be coming to PC, with platform-specific fixes and improvements set to land in the near future. Here are some of the more interesting changes coming in the 1.03. update, snatched from the press release:

The Vampire Magician Challenge Pack
Includes 10 new challenges that were inspired by how our community have been playing the game. Each challenge requires you to wear the Vampire Magician disguise while taking down targets using a range of different methods.

Continued improvements to load times
The improvements will be most notable when loading The Showstopper mission in Paris and we're already working on improving all loading times even more.

Improved responsiveness for in-game menus and image loading
We've implemented an image caching system that will improve responsiveness and loading times for all images in the game menu.

Fixed issues with scoring
Primarily, this fixes an issue that resulted in many players earning a "0 second" time bonus and an incorrect score of 210,000. A leaderboard reset will be implemented at a later date.

Continued improvements to connectivity
Server stability improvements.

Missing "Requiem Pack" items have been restored
For those affected, these items will now be available to choose from the planning screen again.

Fixed numerous issues that were causing crashes
General improvements to game stability.

Finally, the second episode - Sapienza - is set to land on April 26, when it will cost £7.99 for those with just the Intro Pack (who can also upgrade to the whole package for £36.99), while those with "The Full Experience" have already paid. You can read our preview of Sapienza & Marrakesh for more details about what to expect.
