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.
Where will Agent 47 pop up next? In even more varied locations that offer a mix of civilian claustrophobia and isolation from the outside world, as IO Interactive finally revealed the rest of Hitman 2’s environments.
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.
Joining its recently announced multiplayer mode, Hitman 2 will also feature all new content for its co-operative Sniper Assassin puzzle mode.
Outsmart, outplay, and outkill in Hitman2’s new 1v1 competitive feature, Ghost Mode.
He may have fists of steel and the chokehold of an Anaconda python on steroids, but even Agent 47 likes to keep his hands clean before he wraps them around the throat of a victim. From Silverballer pistols to lethal concoctions delivered in syringe form, 47 has a wide arsenal of tools available to him on any given mission, plus he’s also kind of adept at scrounging for new homicidal homebrew tools.
Santa Fortuna is the perfect location to showcase new features and abilities coming to HITMAN 2, including the use of vegetation and foliage to stay out of sight or hide weapons and bodies. This new trailer displays the truly exotic, hyper-detailed setting that will be available for players to explore, with unexpected hazards and unique kill opportunities all around. Agent 47 must use creativity and intelligence to survey the entire village and avoid the Cartel’s iron-fisted rule to eliminate his targets.
Whether it was a fatal cocktail, dropping a moose on an unsuspecting victim or even using Yoga itself to bump off a victim, Agent 47’s streak of creative killing was unrivalled. In Hitman 2, players will need to once again step into the mindset of an assassin, utilising all of the tools at their disposal to get the job done.
