As with the original game, it will include twelve major sandbox missions, each allowing you to travel as assassin extraordinaire Agent 47, as he works his way through Paris, New Orleans, and beyond.
Here’s the game’s official description, per port developer Feral Interactive:

From the refined surroundings of the Paris opera to the heaving streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras, how Agent 47 executes his commissions is up to the player. Whether it’s a very public execution, a silent kill with no witnesses or an ‘unfortunate accident’, a generous armoury of tools, weapons, disguises and blunt objects are always on-hand to help with decision making…”
