It's not every day new content just magically shows up for a game that's more than a year old. For some reason, 2012's Hitman: Absolution has been updated today with new contracts for every platform.

Each new contract is platform-exclusive. On Xbox 360, you'll play through a doughnut shop massacre (pictured). On PS3, you'll run into a pyromaniac ice cream seller. Finally, on PC, you'll go through a haunted house.

It's unclear why there's new content for Hitman all of a sudden, but we're sure fan won't mind. Developer IO Interactive is working on a new entry to the series, and the game's Facebook page (via Joystiq) has teased that 2014 will be "a very exciting year" for the franchise.

Andrew Yoon was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

      This is great news...I haven't gone too far into Hitman Absolution, but I enjoyed what I played of it, despite its faults...having a little extra content is a great bonus!

      Platform exclusive bits should burn in a fiery hell.

      This guy does a great and often very funny job of describing why you won't want Hitman: Absolution, despite his text-to-speech sounding voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXmTyN-wtZg&hd=1

          The issues he raised were more than enough to turn me off to the game. Watching that video and seeing the problems, I just can't do it.
