Hitman official Twitter account addresses the situation, a little:

If your HITMAN preorder is cancelled, don't panic. Release date is still March 11. We're adjusting a few things & will update in a few days.

Why not on XB1 too tho? Anyway, hopefully they're ditching the episodic thing.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
