The "Hitman" series has always incorporated tactics and challenging situations especially for its upcoming fifth episode. Io Interactive announced that this episode's setting will be in Colorado and is slated for release on Sept. 27.

The previous episodes have let players explore the different locales around the world. This episode, entitled "Freedom Fighters," Agent 47 will set foot in American soil, mostly traversing the outdoors and open fields. According to Games Radar, players will be walking around a Colorado farm now-turned private militia training camp, searching for four targets.

The targets are named Sean Rose, Maya Parvati, Ezra Berg and Penelope Graves and each have their own dangerous expertise, ranging from environmental terrorism to chemical interrogation." Players would have to apply well-planned strategies and perfectly executed stealth in this mission since this has been reported to be one of the most difficult ones so far.  

Episode 5 will be including whole new ways of executing the mission, along with donning new outfits. Players can get the new gear earned from completing the 70 challenges from the previous episodes.

The next and final episode of "Hitman" Season 1 will be set in Japan, which set for release sometime later this year.

IGN UK also mentioned in an earlier article that IO Interactive has plans of producing two more seasons, including this current one, according to its official Twitter account.  It was also possible that the company will remake old levels from the previous games for the new game, but for now, creating new content is the focus for the team right now.

In other news, "Hitman Physical Edition" is going to be released on early 2017. The package will be containing each of the missions from the first seasons, as well as the previously released challenges, opportunities and escalation contracts.
