How IO created Hitman Freelancer mode by repurposing their design concepts

How did the developers at IO update the Hitman series to create a new roguelite game mode 7 years after the initial game’s release? I breakdown the design concepts that IO have developed when creating their world of assassination, and analyse how the experience varies moment-to-moment to create exciting new replayable challenges for players.
