The Halloween event of Hitman 2: The progress is not exactly clear in what the event implies, but it is scary.
The trailer shows the opening mission of Hitman 2, set in an elegant house on a secluded beach. Instead of Agent 47, players take control of a figure with Jack’s flashlight by a head, dressed completely in black. The player’s goal is to kill the man in the house and then… drag him to a ritual site.
There are spooky Halloween images in the trailer, including dead trees, gravestones, summoning circles, crows, skeletons, and a pit of bones. It’s a very creepy trailer, so look at your own risk.
It is October, and it is time for Agent 47 to become creepy. Developer IO Interactive announced today that Hitman 2 would receive a series of free updates throughout the month. Most of the content is related to the horrors of Halloween, including an awful climbing contract and an elusive serial killer. The murder simulator is also getting the modern sedative syringe as a new weapon.
Free updates like this are one of the ways IO Interactive keeps players engaged with Hitman 2. And the thematic content is also a popular strategy to attract new and obsolete players. Those fans can buy the $ 40 expansion pass or help others discover Hitman 2 through word-of-mouth enthusiasm.
“Hitman tries to experience the anticipation of seeing if a plan will work when you first try it,” Edmond Tran said in the GameSpot review. “It’s about feeling the tension of quickly moving away from a bad situation, hoping to lose the suspicious guards. It’s the satisfaction of knowing the machinations of a level so well that when a target moves to a particular place at a given time, you have the perfect way to intervene. Hitman 2 is a family experience, but familiarity is an incredible force in Hitman’s world.
The roadmap ends with a new Elusive Target contract called The Serial Killer. Elusive objectives are limited-time events in which players have an opportunity to complete a mission. If you ruin it, the game closes the mission forever. The serial killer begins October 25 and is the first Elusive Target mission on the subtle map of Whittleton Creek.
