It’s the “antagonist” from Danganronpa, basically a psycho teddy bear that talks about hope and despair all the time.
I too expect this roadmap to be barebones, but I just want it to come out so the anticipation and whatifs stops clogging my mind.
At that time we got one brand new game mode in late January. But now - for most loyal players there’s not much interests since the ‘cozy’ Christmas. Only the infinitely reborn 'Heartbreaker’s.
Edit: And it’s on March 24th, iirc.
I’ve noticed a change in the physics of NPCs taking impact from bullets since the last update, like their bodies are more reactive (or the “force” has been cranked up). The dreamer in me hopes that it reflects some upcoming change or addition to the core mechanics which, aside from a new level, is the one type of update I’ve always wanted from the game. I don’t care about challenges or escalations and unfortunately, I stopped caring about elusive targets a long time ago.
Now, I’m going back to sleep.
Sincerely,
a player who left the online community but still plays the game regularly.

Calling it now: they tweaked the NPC physics to make way for the crazy ragdolls that come from the Dual Ballers 
Flashback to H2:SA where if you shot at NPCs with your dual ballers they’d be sent flying 10 miles away… finally they make a return… dual wielding CONFIRMED!!! (a guy can dream…)

IO should stay radio silent and just shadow drop the roadmap just like they did during the majority of Y3 because this soonTM bs is annoying. You simply can’t tease your players like that when there is nothing to be exited about, you have not announced anything meaningfull coming to the game so what’s the point?
That kind of tease only makes sense when We know there is something exiting coming, like Ambrose, DGS, Freelancer or The Drop. If there is something new on the next roadmap, give us a sneak peak, that way we have something to be exited for. Building up hype and being annoying are two different things.

I’m probably the only person who doesn’t mind the soon-teasing.

Colour me shocked that HMF’s leading racy fan-fic author isn’t phased by social media edging.

Words that needed to be said. I am not a hasty player, i never take patience or haste for granted especially when it comes to updates on a preexisting videogame. When the time is right, if IOI has still anything under its hat, it will deliver the goods all in due time.
I think it’s how passion fuels us, how we enjoy sharing anything that suggests something new is brewing that makes us being chatty readers. That’s what makes us aficionados and love me some updates on my favourite video game, still in 2024.
I think there’s also that day when IOI will stop updating the game and we all know - that’s the saddest statement i’ll ever do on this forum, that the next game will be in a long time. Despite IOI’s projects - that i hope will be as successfull as Hitman, we dread fearfully that the companionship we have with the beloved World of Assassination ceases to be freshly nenewed.

Seeing that stadia watermark doesn’t inspire any hope.

Yeah I’m still playing Hitman in 2024, mostly Freelancer!! Still love it! It will be a sad day when IOI stop releasing content for the WOA Trilogy, but we can have a peace of mind knowing that 47 will return in the future. The next game will probably still be releasing on the PS5 and Xbox X/S, but will more than likely aimed for the next generation consoles.
I have a strong feeling Year 4 will be the last year of content we get for the WOA Trilogy before IOI fully switch their attention to Bond (007), so I’m going to just enjoy the ride while it lasts
