Elusive targets, reruns/new?

Hello, good to see you here. Regarding your questions:

  • I would like to see reruns of Paparazzo and Ji-Hu. I would also love to see The Fixer to appear, but it would have to re-done as ET Arcade, where he would be the single ET. I imangine it like this:
  • Level 1 - The Fixer is target. No other complications.
  • Level 2 - The Fixer is target. Tracking courier and getting diamonds is optional.
  • Level 3 - Same as before, but getting diamonds is now necessary.
  • Regarding celebrity ET’s, I’d love to see Recce Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton. Since they are both also screenwriters, I would go further than them just having lend their likeness and voices to targets, and would suggest to allow them to write their characters.

After watching Raw last night, I’m reminded of someone who would be a great ET. The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be: Bret “The Hitman” Hart! 47 could even disguise himself as Bill Goldberg!

That would be pretty funny to be honest considering how much hate Bret has for Goldberg :joy:

I wish more ETs experimented with the objectives and turned some off or switched some around

I can’t help but wonder what the point of this question was, given that other than the CelebrET reruns - ETs have continued to run repeating ones we’ve seen in both Years 2 and 3 (and even continued repeating the exact same order as Year 3) over the last three months.

Year 5 maybe?
Especially if they want to have an holistic selection.


In all fairness: the Chameleon and the Surgeons/Fugitive were always going to happen.
Colorado and Hokkaido needed to have one ET to give Y4 players an opportunity to unlock their location suit.
The Ascensionist is part of the H3 package and also guaranteed.


As for what will seemingly close Y4 before the Splitter / the Galore.
The Bad Boy is a good choice imo.
But the Food Critic is literally is at the bottom of the poll made with 0 vote.


Elusive Targets are planned way in advance. They’re holistic in the year.
And I doubt IOI is the kind to change plans.

They have flexible blank spaces (challenge unlocks during Y4 since production was on celbrETs and PSVR2).
And they have times were they need to plug new holes (Y2 when Freelancer was delayed and additional ETs were used to take its place, without change to the one planned before mind you), or displace them up and down.

But full on change, and disregard of previous plans? I doubt. It’s a waste of work time.

I wont read this whole thread but I think two things could remix things up:

Make the complication optional for the player to choose.

Randomize 2 ETs in one single map. Imagine both the prince and the politician in Sapienza :slight_smile: you get the point.

Paris and other maps had way enough ETs for this to be possible.

This thread is for me to get some ammo internally to request things.
That simple :slight_smile:

However, merely adding more CeleETs won’t turn the game around.

We need a smarter approach to truly make a difference. It’s time to fulfil the game content. It has been a long time since Patient Zero came out, and we are still unable to get the same level of missions.

Time, money, and team members. Only had one out of the three to spare right now, so anything resembling Patient Zero is unlikely at best.

Content is slowly winding down now unfortunately, so I don’t think a new level is coming. Like @Heisenberg said, IOI have a very small team working on Hitman now, with their main focus being on Bond and other new ongoing project in the background. Hopefully Hitman will get a Year 5, but if we do, it would have thought it be very similar to what we’re getting now like new challenges with unlocks, Freelancer updates/new Safehouse cosmetics, Featured Contracts etc :slightly_smiling_face:

Might have been brought up before, but please reactivate the Year 4 ETs towards the end of December. I broke a finger this summer and had to skip three targets—one might say they eluded me—so a re-run galore would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I hope this ages poorly

@Combatglue can you confirm whether or not there will be an ‘Elusive Targets Galore’ before Year 4 ends? :crossed_fingers:

Oh please say yes, I missed two ETs this year because I forgot to check the other tab :sob:

(Also petition to put them back on the main screen)

Can I sign this 3 times

You can, but only the first will count and the other two are illegal, so yeah. :wink:

My issue was that my game wouldn’t get past a black screen. I think it was back in February (The Forger).

Cancelled with prejudice.

How does one cancel something that was never announced as being a thing?
