We'll have extensive hands-on coverage of the new Hitman on the site for you tomorrow. But before getting into the weeds with that, today there's a more immediate and pressing question: Can you run it?
Below you will find the minimum and recommended specs, which I have renamed using contract killers from popular fiction of wildly varying ability.

Square Enix also announced today that pre-purchases of Hitman on Steam, either the Intro Pack or the Full Experience, will come with the Requiem Blood Money Pack, which includes the white suit and gloves from Requiem, the final mission of Hitman: Blood Money, as well as the suave striped shirt and tie he wore in the game, a white rubber duck explosive, and the silenced ICA-19 Chrome pistol—which, for the record, is an additional weapon and not a replacement for the infamous Silverballers, which all players will have access to.
The Hitman beta, which will take a look back at the early days of Agent 47's career, goes live on the PC on February 19.
