Single-player is also an available option for this mode, which can be accessed right now for players who pre-order the Hitman 2 Standard, Silver, Gold, or Collector’s Edition. Hitman 2 is also getting an online co-op mode for the first time called Sniper Assassin, which allows two players to work together to take down targets. The story will take Agent 47 to “a vibrant Miami setting,” “an in-progress motorsport race,” and “dangerous rainforests,” according to the official description. “Typically in Hitman games we have this habit of killing all the characters,” he said, “but this time we managed to keep a supply of characters.” Elverdam also mentioned, “the story is getting much closer to Diana and Agent 47 as they hunt the Shadow Client.” But there will still be “post-launch content coming afterwards.” Abrak further teased “you’re gonna travel the world and come to exotic locations.”Ĭhristian Elverdam, CEO of IO Interactive, said the Hitman team always had the ambition to release “a story spanning multiple games.” Unlike the first game, which released story installments over time, “you’ll get the entire main story on the day of release,” he added. According to IO Interactive studio head Hakan Abrak, speaking during a livestream event with IGN, Hitman 2 “picks up the story where we left it on the last one.” The title was announced with a fresh trailer of the bald-headed, freshly suited assassin getting back to work.
