After a few tests run on Hitman: Absolution , IO Interactive has come to the conclusion that only 20% of the players will come to the final level. During an interview Tore Blystad, game director of the game, said: "we are analyzing the game much more than what we have done in the past, and most players probably will never end the game, which is very sad. Or you could finish it only once but the game is designed to redo every single level and discover every secret. It is built to last. "

"I think that people will not want to bind all those hours to finish it, you get tired. Applies not only to this game but for whatever. Know that only 20% of the players will end the game makes it all very sad, especially people who are working ".

Developers could move most interesting levels at the beginning but as told by Blystad this is impossible in Hitman: Absolution " , due to the game's narrative. Such declarations leave enough displaced, although it might be a marketing move to make it clear to hardcore gamers that this is a game "for them". We have to wait until November to discover that pasta is done playing.
