Today, February 16, the UK-based video game publisher Feral Interactive is proud to announce the immediate availability of the HITMAN: The Complete First Season stealth game for Linux and SteamOS platforms.

Feral Interactive is well known for porting many awesome games to our beloved Linux-based operating systems, including Valve's SteamOS, of course. In the past, the company brought us titles like Tomb Raider (2013), Mad Max, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Life Is Strange, and Total War: WARHAMMER.

They also plan on porting the DiRT Rally off-road racing game, which should be out for Linux and SteamOS in two weeks from the moment of writing this article, on March 2. But until then, Linux gamers now have another cool new video game to play, HITMAN: The Complete First Season.

IO Interactive's new HITMAN stealth video game is available for purchase right now from Steam or Feral Interactive's online store. HITMAN is the sixth installation of the popular Hitman franchise, but it's the first to be released as an episodic series. The Complete First Season includes a prologue, six episodes, as well as a bonus episode.
