HITMAN – Sequel announced!
HITMAN fans rejoice! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and IO Interactive announced today that HITMAN is getting a sequel. HITMAN 2 will feature brand new and extremely detailed sandboxes filled with diverse environments.
HITMAN 2 will be set in different environments with one of them being Miami. An exciting race will be going on in the background of the game and connects the locations together.
“We are excited about our cooperation with IO Interactive for HITMAN 2 in bringing the newest game in this famous franchise to both diehard fans of the series and new players”, says David Haddad, President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. ”IO Interactive has done a great job with the Hitman-franchise. This new game will give players a unique experience where they can freely use their creativity in the bigger sandbox locations.”
In HITMAN 2 players once again take on the role of Agent 47 and start the hunt for the Shadow Client. It’s Agent 47’s goal to exterminate the nearly unreachable Shadow Client and his militia once and for all. When Agent 47 comes across the secret of his past he realizes that with this knowledge nothing will be the same anymore.
“We proudly announce HITMAN 2 as the exciting new chapter in our constantly growing World of Assassination. HITMAN 2 builds on the success of our previous game and will offer exciting new functions, new modes, and firsts in the franchise for an even bigger and extensive game”, says Hakan Abrak, CEO from IO Interactive. “Warner Bros. Was the best partner we could wish for to bring this game to our enthusiastic community and to attract new players to our world. Welcome back, 47!”
HITMAN 2 will offer new game modes including the Sniper Assassin mode, where for the first time in the franchise a co-op experience has been added. Two players work together online to eliminate targets. Sniper Assassin can also be played solo.
Players that pre-order the Standard, Gold or Collector’s edition of HITMAN 2 can already play Sniper Assassin as an early access bonus. Pre-ordering the Gold or Collector’s edition will give players the added bonus of playing the game five days before release.
HITMAN 2 will be released on the 14th of November 2018 on PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One X, and PC.
