It’s obvious that they wouldn’t announce any, since the announcement of them for Hitman 2 led to the creation of Special Assigments.
Yes @Norseman Thoughts?
My thoughts:
They really planned to break @MrOchoa 's heart today.
Probably 2 streams a month.
Good
I started laughing my ass off when I heard that.
They even mentioned his name - no, it’s not gonna happen mr. ochoa
golden helicopters confirmed
Helicopter reference was golden
@v1deost , @plover, @BeignetThief, @khakiasp, @daiguren and anyone else making fan art gets mentioned by Travis.
Sorry, I wasn’t listening but what did he say?
My thoughts are the following BM gets far too much credit for the worst selling title in the franchise, also so far IO haven’t been to good with celebrating titles anniversary and I don’t think it will happen this time either.

Community Q&A
-
Q: Elusive Target Formula
-
A: No changes to the formula yet, Travis’ fault for saying that as they were confident that it would be ready, it isn’t. It MAY change, who knows.
-
Q: Offline mode
-
A: Servers shutting down isn’t happening any time soon, no plan for a proper offline mode yet.
-
Q: Contracts Mode - Updates are they coming?
-
A: It’s on the radar, they are looking into it an what not.
-
Q: Who is working on Hitman 3 now?
-
A: A lot of people are working on it (I will make a full list in a bit when I can re-watch)
-
Q: Escalations (In regard to bonus missions)
-
A: Allows them to do alot, no one is convincing you that they have to be good. Escalations allow you to do what a mission can do in 3 stages instead of a briefing.
-
Q: Mods
-
A: They’re working on an official policy for modding, do not officially endorse any modifications to the game. Content can come out earlier, “a plea to the community to not spoil” (Travis stop, you’re harming my trade)
-
Q: Seven Deadly Sins (Pricing Talk)
-
A: Not to challenge your perception of money. Prices of individual sins were based on Requiem. This helps themed roadmaps and you can gauge out when and what content will come.
-
Q: New maps?
-
A: It takes time to make a Hitman map and mission. We know the 2 new maps in Hitman 2 were bangers. With Hitman 3 they want closure, they do not want to continue the story in Hitman 3.
-
Q: Bonus missions?
-
A: “We’re going to re-work existing locations” should’ve clarified to curb your expectations (in regard to assuming they meant bonus missions). 7DS content in the future will have more drastic changes in the escalation format.
-
Q: Codename 47 remaster?
-
A: That is not on any roadmap
-
Q: Raytracing?
-
A: Planned for later this year on PC, consoles, we’ll see
-
Q: Unlock Goldballer?
-
A: Goldballer stood out, good chance we may get it soon, they have a list of items they want to put in.
-
Q: Are we doing something Blood Money Anniversary?
-
A: 3 weeks (Travis thinks 26th May). Yes they are planning something, nothing massive, they will have a spinoff of IOI Insider, a stream talking to people who worked on BM and playing it. “Chill stream”
-
-
Other bits of info
- They said “contracts” as they want to keep the door open to possibly make a mission.
- They might move to away from escalations for the 7DS, but escalations are much more flexiable and they can do more with escalations than what they have released.
- Roadmap reveal and patch notes videos are dropping during server maintenance.
- Maintenance starts 1PM UTC.
- They have a list of features people want back in the game.
- Official Place for player support (known to some): HITMAN 3 Player Support
- Travis said there may be a blog post about the Q&A
- New seasonal content coming up (Likely escalation, at least one, an escalation that offers more than what escalations can offer now)!
- “Other platforms” release in 2022 for 1 year anniversary (PCVR Travis pls)
- More casual stream as well as IOI Insider, speak to devs during patch notes maybe.
- Concept art on streams
Travis is getting a beer.
@Mini I tried to listen carefully and they said none a word about Grey.
Moreover, seems none any “grey” word has been said.
You asked
You’re my hero for this! Thanks a lot!
god i loved this stream, this was pretty fucking good. lots of unsatisfactory answers (about offline mode especially) lots of good answers, coffee rants and injokes. props to travis and clemens
Yes, I’m so sad… I hope, maybe when they play the game in the stream they will say something, because than they can’t skip him like that. Come on IOI, don’t give me the feeling that you just wanted to get rid of him
100% agree. this stream just felt so much more human than usual, and shoutout to Travis and Clemens. all love
And thank you so much for listening
Travis going on a passionate tangent has been the highlight of the stream for me.
They’ve already said a few months ago there is no plans for Challenge Packs in H3 (as of back then).
