After informing the community that they will port the DiRT Rally racing game to Linux and SteamOS on March 2, UK-based game publisher Feral Interactive is now announcing the Linux port of HITMAN on February 16, 2017.

Yes, you're reading that right, IO Interactive's new HITMAN episodic stealth video game is coming to Linux in a little over a week from the moment of writing this, allowing gamers to become the "ultimate assassin" in the sixth entry of the now very popular Hitman franchise.

It's been 17 years since Hitman: Codename 47, the first game in the series, hit the streets back in the year 2000, and HITMAN (2016) is now the latest and greatest installment, released last year in March only for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. And now Feral Interactive will port the complete first season of HITMAN to Linux.

"HITMAN is an intense spy thriller that lets you choose your methods of execution. As the cold and mysterious Agent 47, you must cross the world to find and eliminate your targets, from a fugitive banker in the bazaars of Morocco to a bio-weapon engineer on the sunny Italian coast," reads today's announcement.

System requirements are yet to be announced

The minimum and recommended system requirements are yet to be announced, so we can't tell you now if you should go out and buy an Nvidia or AMD Radeon graphics card for the ultimate HITMAN gaming experience on your Linux box, but rest assured that we'll inform you guys as soon as Feral Interactive drops the news.

A mini site for HITMAN port on Linux is also yet to be announced, but until that happens, you can watch the trailer below to get you started on becoming the "ultimate assassin." Most probably, the game will require a gaming rig boasting an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor with at least 8 GB RAM.
