Year 4 saw Hitman go mainstream, this year Hitman will go everywhere.
part of it is to create a low cost entry point, hence Sapienza Episode, and before it Part 1
a lot of roadmaps coming
previous CelebrET will return during the year
new CelebrETs to arrive this year
another milestone is the 25th anniversary of the franchise. In the latter part of the year, More will be coming. This is still January, They want to keep it a surprise.
Translation: they donāt want to disappoint us so early in the year that the game doesnāt get much engagement after they reveal that weāve got a big load of nothing coming, is more like it.
My guess, the big thing they do to commemorate it will be a challenge pack with one challenge inspired by each game in the series. Reward is a low poly reskin of the explosive duck
As much as I would love to see the franchise receive as much love as the Sims did for their 25th,
I expect at most something with same production value as the celebrET have. And itās not my most probable in the list.
(because it would also mean a remaster and relaunch of C47)
As much as it wasnāt said, I also bury my hopes for anything that is not items, suits, and cosmetic outside of the 25th and the new celebrETs.
No escalations, no new arcade, no contract mode update, no Freelancer gameplay updates, no new maps (never expected this one though)ā¦
It would have been hinted at otherwise.
Including my habitual of a main mission targets campaign in Freelancer.
It were not reasonable to begin with though.
Which is a shame, because the highlight of the stream was the talk of the Roulette. And it was basically this, in Freelancer, and official.
But itās fair, and especially with the 25th anniversary enough.
I hope this means IO have big plans if not for us old players but for the new players.
Monthly roadmaps perhaps? We only got quarterly the last three years and the first of the year was always march but this one came early.
Year 3 - 1 new celebrET, Year 4 - 2 new celebrETs, Year 5 - 3 new celebrETs?!
I expect nothing but I hope we finally get the highly requested Halloween and/or Winter Whittleton Creek bonus missions. The bonus mission style is so underutilized. They are smaller in scope and donāt require as much work as creating a new map. Yeah it requires new voicelines and assets but comparatively itās nothing so youād think more maps would have more variants.
So more Celebrity ETs huh? Iām surprised they wanted to continue the pace of development this far into the gameās cycle as well as their 007 game. But at least there will be something new to see and new patches at least! I just hope that some of the long-requested features (Bangkok Freelancer exit in main campaign etc) and recognition/implementation of the fantastic mods on PC (pipe dream probably) might make their way into the game this year.
Thank you for all who provided the updates and information, you did a better job than the official streamās announcement
Well, unless they hit up Bill Cosby or Kevin Spacey, they probably paid more attention this time. I just hope itās a celebrity who is not only themselves still relevant, but whoās inclusion as an ET is also relevant.
Lol how to supose we manage to find all these well hidden almost invisible items? That kind of eastereegs can be found only by messing with source files. No human can figure out that kind of eastereggs. Itās just imposible.
Iāve spend 2 hours to look on every corner of map. Iāve managed to find first one, but the rest is just riddiclous.
Anyway - why they add so many explosive items. This could be Emetic or Seducive device at leas.
I messed around a bit with the neco and it seems like itās just a proxy duck reskin (without the quacking sounds). I also expected it to be somewhat bigger, thatās kinda disappointing
Very strange.
