The Professional Difficulty level is now added as the I/O Interactive announced. This means players will not have a more realistic style of the game since the AI behavior are enhanced. Not only that, AI awareness, item rule restriction and security camera logic have been increased. Make sure to plan every move since the combat will be more lethal and you will no longer have unlimited save option. However, completing the mission will earn players a unique mastery reward.
WCCF Tech also confirmed that the "Hitman" January update will add the HDR support along with the first person view. It has been announced as well that some in-game bug fixes are included in the update with some tweaked game mechanics.
The Game Reactor reported that the Professional Difficulty can be selected for all story missions in the "Hitman" Season 1. The new difficulty is not a default option, the Professional Difficulty needs to be unlocked by reaching Mastery Level 20 for each location.
With this, it means clearing each of the missions with level 20 Mastery is the only way to unlock the Professional Difficulty to a certain completed location. By default, players will need to complete the mission using the normal difficulty level.
Keep in mind that the "Hitman" Professional Difficulty level will test your skills in every aspect of the game. Planning every move is an essential along with some quick and stealthy tactics.
