Oh shit, the new map is actually continuing the story. Thought it might be a separate thing.
How do you get the new map to download? It is taking me to the PS Store starter pack link.
It's crazy
Ah, the Steam version.How do you get the new map to download? It is taking me to the PS Store starter pack link.
Ok, that makes sense. The PS version has some weird download mechanism for the full game.
I SA'd the new Mumbai mission; it's a shame it isn't on the level of the rearranged locations of the H2016 special missions -- really it's just a permanent Elusive Target -- but I can't complain about having more Targets period. I'm also fairly sure the Crow patrols are significantly reduced for that mission, making exploring the city much less stressful. Not bad!
These are called "special assignments" on the Steam page and their box is half the size of a full mission on the menu, so maybe this is supposed to be the start of a new kind of content? I'd definitely be down for something more bespoke than featured contacts but less complex than escalations.same with the other mission, I was expecting at least a change of day
I just finished my first Bank run. It definitely feels like one of the less ambitious season 1 levels in scope which is a little disappointing, but there's definitely still a fair amount going on. Hopefully they pull out all the stops for the Resort, one grounded level is fine if the other is Sapienza or Mumbai-sized.
Also what do we think — will the Resort wrap up the three family story line, or is that the lead-in cliffhanger for Season 3?

I imagine it'll just lead in to Hitman 3. Though they could always end up wrapping it up.
That's my selfish hope since I've convinced myself they wouldn't do that unless Season 3 were on its way. I've been nervous about the future of the series since launch so I'd love it if they were still setting up story lines for S3 rather than hurriedly wrapping up loose ends.I think the two episodes are fillers about how they reach the three families. The three families will feature in the next season.
Like the new level. Manged to get through a first run. I ended up...
Having to get into the Vault as I couldn't find the last guy with the disk drive, the accounts guy.
Will have a few more goes at it. (im rubbish at this game but love it).
The original scope was 2 maps. If they didn't make enough for a full blown Hitman 3, they could potentially do a second season pass.So do we have any idea what the final scope of the expansion pass is intended to be? I had thought they'd save the showdown with the illuminati or whatever for Hitman 3 but given 2's sales and the recent Bank mission seemingly setting us off down that path... could we be getting like 3 or 4 maps here to tie it up? (One for each of the families plus one for the inevitable finale vs Lucas or some final head of the organization or both)
They've probably just been busy working on the expansion levels. After this month, the only expansion content left will be the Resort later this year, so maybe they'll start adding new elusives when they have more time on their hands.I don't understand what they're doing with Elusive Targets, we only had 10 targets since game launched, only half of that were on the new maps (Sean Bean twice in Miami), still no target in Bombay or Whittleton, and that 6th Legacy target will be the 3rd in Sapienza... (none in Bangkok or Colorado)
During Hitman 1 they eventually did a second rotation of most (but I believe not all) of the elusive targets. I imagine they'll do the same again for Hitman 2. But, really, I hope they eventually make the elusives permanent. It just seems like a shame if the content were to be lost to time if/when the game's servers eventually go down.Anyone know if they plan on redoing elusive targets again or just unlocking them for everyone to try as a one-off? I see they're rotating legacy ones but I've missed all from Hitman 1 and 2 so far.
I'm especially mad because I messed up the Paris one so I'm still missing that suit.I don't understand what they're doing with Elusive Targets, we only had 10 targets since game launched, only half of that were on the new maps (Sean Bean twice in Miami), still no target in Bombay or Whittleton, and that 6th Legacy target will be the 3rd in Sapienza...

I mean I don't know about you, but I'd gladly pay $1.99 to bring back square dancing 47.There's a small survey going round from IOI at the moment, asking about future directions for Hitman and your opinion about which bits are important. Obviously went very hard on adding a battle royale mode and dance emotes.
