It was just an idea.
I mean what we wanna do when they decide developing an entire James Bond trilogy which will take the next 6 to 8 Years and doesn’t fit our taste (worst case). I mean James Bond is not Agent 47.
So no Hitman for the next 6 to 8 Years.
Do you want to keep playing this game for the next 6 to 8 Years with aleady everything unlocked. There is nothing else on the market because the stealth genre is dead atm. except for Hitman.
We don’t know what’s happening yet? 47 could very well return in the next 3 years, but it could be another 10 years. At the moment, we are sort of in a bit of limbo, but thankfully we’ve got Year 5 coming for WOA, so that ties us over for a bit 
Hitman: Multiverse of Assassination
All prior Hitman games are combined to give us the ultimate Hitman experience.
The missions from Codename 47, Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money, and Absolution will get their own challenges (Absolution already does, but let’s add 80 more), elusive targets, escalations, and a bunch of more content.
But most improtantly: Everything will work offline, except for the leaderboards, and custom contracts.
Also, there’ll be an alternative model for 47: Timothy Oliphant.
Sounds like a joke 
Gamedev doesn’t work that way. It’s little more complicated than your fantasy 
Maybe in parallel universe where money and doesn’t have value.
But still I don’t understand why people want so bad “old” things instead of developing new fresh content.
What is point of bring back old missions into new Hitman? Do you realize how small was these missions with so little opportunities?
You can’t just bring back stuff to new playground because it just won’t work from game design perspective. It’s technically impossible.
Okay… Today I’ve hit 2000/2500 on GOAT challenge! Step by step it goes forward.
I should unlock this challenge by 2026 I hope 
Keep up the hard work! 
I’ve unlocked it and it is pretty damn cool on 47’s shelve in the Safehouse
If this crap of targets leaving the map in a rogue-like mode like Freelancer (and on Hardcore) is gonna keep happening, at least made it so that if they leave the map you get an auto win because otherwise what am I supposed to do.
Go pew pew with shooty gun?
How if the target is out of bounds, wich I can’t reach?
Most people would call that a skill issue, I call it a reason for ALT+F4.
General question: How do you think - will @IOI ever bring a fresh content for Freeelancer? I don’t mean updates or new DLC items, but new possibilites, options, new maps (Mumbai I’m looking at you) or new challenges, thins to do etc.
Unlikely. The game is running on fumes at this point. The roadmaps now mostly consist of repeated ETs/seasonal content, community created (and curated) Featured Contract batches and even community-created challenges/unlock ideas.
Without them repeating content or outsourcing to the community, the game would pretty much be dead at this point. Aside from when they sign someone famous for a CelebrET so they can sell some DLC.
The best hope is that someone suggests some challenge ideas for Freelancer that IO like (but no one really suggests challenges for Freelancer looking at the thread).
Spoken like someone who doesn’t know that a new Sniper Elite is literally coming out this month lol
Lesson Learned campaign, my beloved wishlist. 
The new weapon panel acknowledging the paid DLC is I think the template to look at.
Honest, but derivative, additions. Side expansions. Made as part of a larger strategy for the game.
But anything that would require a director, a designer, or a track owner for the sake of itself I think is kinda out.
We don’t know.
I think year 5 will see a bunch of work from IOI other studios.
I even think the jump in production since December is them arriving in.
Do they have some creative license?, where are the decision taken? , did the Hitman Live Team changed, expanded, or just given more “busy hands”?, what are the objectives for the company?, are those objectives expressible in Freelancer?, attracting new demography, solidifying the core identity of the game for the long tail and prestige, celebrating the franchise 25th anniversary?..
Well, we have new stuff coming for Freelancer. There is the Easter and Halloween decorations coming for the Safe house as we’ve seen in the leaks section, so more stuff is coming for that. I hope there is some challenge unlocks aimed for Freelancer in the future as well, like what IOI did with the Black Bruiser suit. I guess we’ll find out as Year 5 progresses.
Challenge: Hoardman
Description: You got everything a Hitman could wish for, and you still go out with the usual!?
How to: Have all collectible weapons, tools, and other items on display (all DLC required), but finish 50 hardcore campaigns with only 47’s Signature Suit and the ICA19, nothing else.
No disguise changes. You may pick up items, but using them resets your progress.
Unlock: Hoarder Suit
Suit description: This is totally not a reskin to add more playtime to Freelancer! Have fun!
What it is: It’s a dragon costume, basically “The Flamingo Suit, but it’s a dragon”.
What it does: 47 says “Rawr” in the most monotone way he can every now and then.
If I begin Prestige (Level 1) then later switch between Hardcore and non-Hardcore mode, will Prestige level…
(if none of the above, please advise the result?)
Thanks in advance.
This is actually kinda funny. And I low-key want it to happen. 
Been a while since I switched modes, but I’m fairly certain the Prestige levels are unaffected.
Switching between normal and HC will only empty your tool briefcases and reset the current campaign, it will not affect prestige.
