I have been waiting for that damned thing.

Not to mention that they released two ETs at the same time, so thatâs basically a double middle finger to whoever missed them because they didnât know.
I must say: I miss when the roadmaps and other communication articles/videos were guaranteed to drop at 14.00 CEST sharp.
I have no idea if we can still hope for the roadmap today, or if I can call it a wash for this week. Itâs too random, too uncontrolled to be thrilled.

Maybe the roadmap will come out when I finish my exams next week.
It seems like the Celebrity ET might have been delayed a bit when they changed the release date from âSpring 2024â to âJune 2024â given that today was the final Friday in Spring, though I guess they could do something crazy and release it next Monday Tuesday or Wednesday.
Itâs weird how much less hype there has been around this ET compared to the other celeb ETs. The Undying returning (again) had a trailer and a roadmap confirming his release date a month ahead of time and he was just legacy content being brought back. The Drop had his initial announcement confirming who is playing him almost 3 months ahead, a mission reveal trailer 2 months out, a roadmap confirming the release date 3 weeks out, and for a few months they even added the posters to Berlin teasing his release.
We are like 1-2 weeks out from the release of this celeb ET, and we donât know its release date, what map it will take place on, which celebrity is playing the ET, or even its âThe _________â codename

Sadly this doesnât surprise me. There was no real conclusive buildup that suggested the ET was really going to be in Spring, so I was thinking this would happen from the start. I think most of us expects this by now so hereâs hoping it will be worth the extended wait!

I think thatâs mainly because we donât know who it is or when theyâre coming. With The Drop and The Undying Returns, we were told upfront the who and the when. This latest one is basically: âhey, somebody famous is coming to Hitman. Canât tell you who they are or when theyâll be here, but just keep waiting.â Hard to be excited over such vagaries.

The hype for The Drop last year also seemed to have mostly fizzled out outside of the regular Hitman community because it was announced and fully revealed so far in advance. I can only assume that this has led to them going too far in the other direction this time in an attempt to âstrike while the iron is hotâ.

I just noticed a couple of things.
1 Summer 2024 Doesnât begin until June 20. Itâs June 15th when I put this message in.
No update will happen before.
2 The 2 targets that just became available end in 46 hours from when I wrote this message. Usually you get 10 days for an ET.
- When winter ended and Spring road map began, when the undying was unveiled at the end of February, they gave us few weeks to get ready prior to its launch March 21-22.
I believe they will switch to summer when the new dual mode for meta 3 launches. Which is advertised for Summer 2024 if anyone saw the trailer. While that doesnât apply to my system Xbox or what everyone else uses PS5, etc. my guess is when that begins so will the summer roadmap.
But that short countdown not having the full 10 days to play the Gunrunner in Marrakesh and The Stowaway on isle of Sgail tells me something is going to happen soon. Thatâs just my gut.

By this point I think there is (was?) a production issue. In which case this kind of analysis would be irrelevant, or at least secondary.

The Stowaway and The Gunrunner went live over a week ago on the 7th. They will have been live for a total of 10 days by the time they end.

According to a post I put 3 days ago according to the timeline on this forum, we were waiting for those 2 ETs to begin.
It I believe was Thursday or Friday when it began, I was at work so I missed the actual start.
But 40+ hours has it around end of Sunday / Monday end.
Thatâs about 3/4 days total from start to end. Not 10 days, not even 7.
My post then at that time wasnât wrong because no one else complained. It will be about a total of 96 hours, now Iâm off when I typed in the 40s because Iâm just finally off from work, so that part I was wrong not including the previous 2 days.
But bottom line, it will be a short time from the usual of ET which is around 10 days
The ETs began last week. We were not waiting for them to begin when you posted about it days ago: they were already active. Some of us had already completed them. Your timeline is a week behind.
When I made my post, the countdown on Hitman was ticking to when you could play.
Itâs a moot point as of now, itâs available now and soon will not be. Iâm not about to have an argument over something like this.
Either something was wrong and was incorrectly displaying g the wrong countdown at the wrong time, or you were misreading which countdown was showing and mistaking the countdown for how long they had left to be available. Either way, theyâve been out 8 days now.
I almost had a heart attack thinking that that there were more ETs being shadow dropped, but yeah, those two have been out for a week already, I killed them both on the 7th when they went live. You totally misinterpreted the countdown, ETs have always lasted 10 days ever since hitman 2 in 2018, this pattern has never being broken outside of celebrity ETs that last 30 days

Wouldnât it be funny if of all things to reveal the ET at they chose to have a trailer at the Nintendo Direct in 78 minutes?
