We already knew that Hitman's January update will include HDR support and some bug fixes, but today's announcement sounds especially interesting.

IO Interactive has revealed that the game will get a new difficulty level when the update drops January 31. Professional Difficulty Level will really test your skill level, as it tweaks several environments, game mechanics, AI behaviour, and more. Playing on the new difficulty will fill a separate mastery track that includes new unique rewards too, and it'll also be easier to boast about your skills online, as the leaderboards will be separated between difficulty levels.

Professional Difficulty Level can be selected for all Story missions in the first season, except the Prologue, after reaching Mastery Level 20 for each location.
