They plan to release Hitman for Linux on Thursday 16th of February, so be sure mark your calendars.
This is amazing, as we get Civilization VI from Aspyr Media, Hitman and then DiRT Rally both from Feral Interactive in the space of about a month. All three games I'm incredibly excited to see on Linux, as all of them big franchises for us to have to keep moving forward.
I told you this year was going to be good, so don't doubt me eh!
I'm nearly out of hard-drive space, I'm actually going to have to buy an new hard drive just for games, on Linux, insanity.
David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral InteractiveHitman is a franchise that has defined the stealth genre, and this game is very much a return to the series’ roots. It’s been a long wait to get a Hitman title onto Linux, but I can’t think of a better way than this to introduce the series to Linux gamers.
Feral have confirmed it will be an OpenGL title, so no Vulkan at launch. Of course, it's entirely possible they may update it in future to use Vulkan.
It will cost £39.99/$59.99/€49.99 for the whole season, but episodes can be purchased individually.

Awesome!!!
I hope more companies will do the same as them, cause supporting games for Linux nowadays turned to be as important as Mac.
Thumbs UP!

Also Bonus episodes and such. I'm taking a guess that season 2 will be released simultaneously, given the nature of the game.

Wow. Hitman 2016. Really? Feral do not make any prisoners. :D
EDIT: "HITMAN FOR MAC IS STANDING BY FOR METAL"
Metal becomes a running gag.

Damn it, there are not enough hours in my days to play the sheer amount thats being ported now. Such a good position to be in.
Well another hit to my wallet is coming; Im going to be broke and out of HDD space at this rate!

This year is looking good indeed, admittedly I was a little worried. If Two Worlds 2 actually hits its latest release date this month (no real reason to believe it will but maybe) it'll be 4 big games in about 1 month! :O

I think that was it, since it's not on the radar anymore.
I'm not sold on the episodes. I just heard about it on this thread, sounds like I'll have to investigate before I buy it. But I won't buy it before it's out and we have some reports, of course.
I never played Hitman before, thank you for bringing the series to Linux! (I was in the same case with tomb raider, and I loved it).

I asked on Facebook. They said its opengl. Vulkan is coming later in the year, it wasn't clear if they are planning Vulkan for an unreleased game or for titles like Hitman and Dues Ex that have a DX12 back end already.

Seems like I was vastly inaccurate about that (sorry!), here's the GOL source on the subject: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/feral-interactives-linux-ports-may-come-with-vulkan-sooner-than-we-thought-updated.8418
