Earlier this week, Hitman Season 2 was confirmed during an interview at PGW. This season will feature new areas, new elusive targets and escalation missions, and certain areas may be revisited. This news is not only incredibly exciting, but also very validating, proving that the controversial release schedule utilized for this release is working and is profitable.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.
From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.
Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
I could never support a single player game that requires always online just to play. Anybody who supports that business practice is a corporate shill.
Episodic releases are trash. Any game that has this might as well be thrown in the garbage.
I was disappointed with the episodic realise but I bought the starter pack. Really enjoyed it but Ive been waiting for the rest to release for a decent price which is never happening. 6 episodes is a joke. So I'm now unsure altogether
the required online connection is atrocious already but the elusive contract thing might be one of the biggest wastes of potential iv'e ever seen all that work and effort into a mission that even if you could play it when available only has 1 try and after that its gone for good that's even worse than the pre order bullshit we have already in games.
