No matter which way you slice it, IO Interactive’s Hitman 2 is a miracle. Getting from your starting point to the eventual finish line that is your target, is where the game shines as players need to move between disguises and locations if they want to complete a contract. Doing so also means that you’re going to be using everything from rat poison to screwdrivers to incapacitate anyone who stands in your way. Or if the going gets tough, you could have used the hilarious homing briefcase that Agent 47 carried around with him

Hitman 2's latest Sniper Assassin map may be heavy on snow and old Soviet Union symbolism, but it's another chapter in what could be the best sniping game of all time.

Golden Handshake once again shows how IO Interactive is the best in the business at creating sandboxes that feel alive, and even if this new DLC doesn’t have enough opportunity within to satiate my bloodlust against the 1%, it’s still a welcome new chapter in the saga of Hitman 2.

New York is a new sandbox location that takes Agent 47 to the New York branch of the Milton-Fitzpatrick investment bank. Wear new disguises and use new items to complete the mission and earn new unlocks that can be used in all locations.

Killing your targets in Hitman 2 is only half the game. The rest of it, is walking away from the scene of the crime and looking badass in the process. Or you could just ride a dolphin out of Miami.

Hitman 2 launches on November 13 with every stage completed and thrown into one bundle, much to the joy of fans who skipped the first game because of its downloadable nature. An episodic structure that seems to have been the original design goal, according to leaked PSN trophies.

Back in the series after a very long absence, briefcases aren’t just a handy way to get a sniper rifle from Point A to Point B while remaining undetected. They’re also chess pieces, items which can be used to manipulate the environment and disrupt the flow of the in-game AI who aren’t programmed to know better.

When you’re looking to kickstart a whole new world of assassination, who better than a seasoned thespian of stage and screen who happens to be a dab hand at moving towards the light? Hitman 2 knows this, and they’re leveraging Sean Bean's talent for memorable demises to help sell a whole new era of Elusive Targets within the game.
