Wonder why this is happening?

I wonder if this has anything to do with them moving away from their pseudo-Early Access release model. If they've changed their mind significantly on the roll-out plan, Sony's existing Terms of Service may have forced them to refund any pre-orders.
This is probably a good sign. The episodic model was pretty gross.
Blame the Canadian dollar.
Maybe base game will be F2P

When you're right, you're right.Preorder canceled
I hope so. I don't want them to release Hitman as some Telltale game with episodes trough out the year. I'm not going to buy it before I can have my hands on the physical release anyways.
Probably an Xbox One exclusive now.
I think their concept had potential (new open area every few months, with 48-hr challenges to eliminate a certain CPU filling the gap), but was never really understood by the audience. It was billed as episodic, yet they clearly stated that input from fans would shift development of later content. All leading to a 'final' release.
I could see it working if they'd established a clear timetable up front (no more than a month between new areas), and made it crystal-clear what people were getting into. It didn't help that the game didn't look ready for a Winter 2016 release in any form.
I wonder if they ditched the episode style and are just giving it a full fledge release later this year given the extended dev time
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.
This game has one of my favorite trailers of all time - hopefully all is ok.
Yes but don't you know that any experimentation on the $60 release is sin!!!didn't you already pay for the whole game but it was going to be episodic?
I think it was £30 when it was listed, but it's £40 for the Steam page. It may be why.
Yep. 50 in EU.
Are they cancelling EU order only? Maybe they are going to change the price.
That's exactly how many people reacted.Yes but don't you know that any experimentation on the $60 release is sin!!!
I hope this is the case.
The episodic structure makes no sense for a game like Hitman.
