On one hand, the challenges are rather standard, even bland. On the other hand, I havenāt deactivated KAI, or blown the Satellite Control Unit in year(s), so it will be genuinely nice to play them again
Besides, we are all here mainly for the sweet items, and the whopping 8000xp.
Really hoping that the re-run ETs are re-activations of the Y1/Y2/Y3 versions (or at very least just the Y1 versions, which have never been re-run unlike the Y2 versions, and which lock Steam players out of a perfect record) so that people who missed ETs previously can try and get these versions ticked off.
Itās the same targets and nothing new to anyone, and IMO would be the player-friendly move as no one needs a separate Y4 version of the same ETs weāve played many times before.
As a person who has the Public Enemy suit already (it was accidentally unlocked during the recent patch), it is a classy AF suit to use ā Hereās a sneaky peak:
I like the jumper thatās coming; we need more casual options and Iām sure you Tumblr fanfic writers will be happy.
Iām glad the stadia stuff is releasing today! Iāve wanted the suitcase and suit for years now! I do appreciate the challenges being puns on servers, which made me giggle.
Elusive Target Galore sounds interesting! The wording implies that itās going to be limited time, so my best guess as to what this entails is unlocking all the (non-celebrity) ETās for the holiday season.
Decent roadmap as things go, Iām looking forward to ET Galore!
Weāve known for a while the stadia stuff is incoming, IOI themselves said they wanted to make it available to everyone as the platform is literally dead now. Really, this took longer than it needed to, but I do appreciate the level-hopping challenges ala the C47 challenge pack.
As for the other platform suits; I wouldnāt bet on it anytime soon. Iād wager those would be added once the game reaches EOL (as in, no more content updates, not when the gamesās server dies)
It is strange that there was no mention of āHOLIDAY HOLDERSā or āHOKKAIDO SNOW FESTIVALā, which were supposed to be added to the contract mode.
I own HITMAN on PS, XBOX and STEAM, but only on PS have I been able to play Elusive Targets from the beginning of the first year.
I would love to be able to play the first year of Elusive Target on XBOX and STEAM.
Itās fun to see new challenge packs being added one after another.
āSHINOBIā, āFISHY BUSINESSā, āSPRING BREAKERā, etc,I hope that the challenge pack that was also in Hitman 2 will be revived.
The more I see this roadmap, the more I think we get few content, considering this roadmap will cover almost two months. Donāt get me wrong, I appreciate the constant attention to the game IoI did this whole year, beginning with the Freelancer release, and itās also noteworthy the fact this game is still supported for three years in a row, But I still think that basically, this month, and for the whole winter it seems, weāll get three suits and the usual contract curation and ET re-runs, nothing more. HH and HSF were already to the game, and the ET galore is not appealing me, as I have all the suits unlocked and I feel tired of replaying the usual ET, most of wich are present in the Arcade.
The last month, with the brand new ET and three of the most unique and requested suits unlocks, was definetly better, it basically make me return to the game after months of hiatus.
Still good to get new stuff, but I feel a bit underwhelmed by this roadmap.
So much for contracts in Holiday Hoarders and Snow Festival eh :x
I hope I wonāt be disappointed in that ET Galore stuff, although to be fair I would have preferred them to be made available at all times for everyone
What a waste when the Y2 ETs have already had 2 goes round the block, why not throw people who missed the Y1 targets a bone? Not very impressed with this from IOI.
