Hitman: Absolution Online Pass Ditched, Content Free

Hitman: Absolution will no longer require an online pass to access the new Contracts mode, Square Enix has revealed.

It was originally planned that a code would be included in the game's box to unlock the mode, in which you can create your own custom hits within the game’s levels, sandbox-style.

We'd actually planned to have this mode accessible via a code in the game's box, but we really want to make it available to anybody that plays the game.

A post on the game's Tumblr reads, "We'd actually planned to have this mode accessible via a code in the game's box, but we really want to make it available to anybody that plays the game - so we want to take a new approach."

European gamers will still see a code inside the box promising to unlock the Contracts mode, but this isn't needed, as the entry goes on to explain.

"If you’re in North America you’ll see the mode automatically appear in the game menu. If you’re elsewhere, you can redeem the code inside the box, or you can simply select the Buy Contracts Pass option. From there, head to the store where Contracts will be free to access."

It's pretty good news, as we found in our review of the game that Contracts mode really extends the lifespan of the game as well as provides an opportunity to be both creative and competitive with your mates.

Hitman: Absolution will release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 20.
