Hitman's sixth and final episode lands today, drawing Agent 47's latest transglobal journey to an end for the time being. Named 'Situs Inversus', season one's ultimate mission sends the hairless hired gun to Hokkaido, Japan and is "the culmination of everything players will have learnt in terms of both gameplay and story," so says publisher Square Enix. It also packs some PC-specific features, such as DirectX 12 support.

Besides a new story mission and a host of challenges and gear, episode six remedies a number of bugs and also supports multi GPU and "exclusive fullscreen," according to this Steam Community update post. As it's disabled by default, multi GPU is enabled via the Hitman Launcher. It's worth bearing the following in mind before doing so.

• Currently only dual GPU configurations are supported. 
• Expect highest scaling in 1440p/2160p. 
• Steam overlay is automatically disabled when using Multi GPU due to an incompatibility
• If you experience instability, especially when toggling windowed and fullscreen mode, then disable services that provide in-game capture, such as Raptr, plays.tv, etc. 

Notes specific to AMD and Nvidia cards can also be found via the link above.

Set within the grounds of the "hyper-exclusive" GAMA private hospital and resort, episode six looks a little like this:

It was a brave decision to go fully digital episodic with Hitman, fundamentally changing how we make the game, and for us it has been a major success, says IO Interactive's studio head Hannes Seifert. I want to say a big thank you to all the players for making this possible! Together we've built and run the biggest and most replayable locations of any Hitman game and added new live content every single week since launch. And although we re now completing season one, this is only the beginning for our ever expanding World of Assassination.

Hitman Episode 6: Hokkaido is out now. While this marks the end of the first season, Phil reckons Hitman is best served in distinct courses.

Update: here's a load more info, from the official site.

"The Hokkaido location is set within the grounds of the hyper-exclusive GAMA private hospital and resort. This secluded facility is a fusion of Japanese beauty and cutting-edge technology, featuring its own Zen gardens, organic sushi restaurant and traditional Japanese hot spring."

"Episode 6: Hokkaido features a mission called 'Situs Inversus' and is the culmination of everything players will have learnt in terms of both gameplay and story. As players have come to expect, the location will also be used for Escalation Contracts, Elusive Targets and community-created Featured Contracts. Plus, we'll have the usual array of weapon and gear unlocks that can be used across all previous locations."

Original story: Everyone's second-favourite bald assassin (after Mike from Breaking Bad) is heading to Hokkaido, Japan soon, what with Hitman's first season wrapping up in a few short weeks. As revealed by the following teaser trailer, Episode 6: Hokkaido will arrive on October 31, featuring katanas, a luxury hospital, and a big old mountain, which are not especially Halloween-y things.

We know from Hitman's Twitter page that Agent 47 has come to Hokkaido to "locate two targets at a hyper-exclusive private hospital", before presumably downgrading their conditions from 'alive' to 'dead'. Episode 6 will be the season finale of Hitman, and I'm sure we'll hear more about what's included soon.
