‘Hitman’ Gets a Limited Time Halloween Pack, Complete With Scarecrow Costume

Published

on

With Hitman 2 set for release next month (where you can kill Sean Bean), IO Interactive are still giving love to the first game with a Halloween Pack, which should be available as of 5pm BST/9am PST, and is free for everyone, not just owners of the base game.

Set in Colorado, players are given “full access to everything the location has to offer for a limited time”. This includes the Freedom Fighters mission, its Escalation Contracts and Colorado’s Featured Contracts. Contract Mode will also let you create your own Contracts, and you’ll also have 10 Featured Contracts “that are spooky, creepy or otherwise frightening”.

In addition, you’ll be able to get your Scarecrows on with a Scarecrow costume, which presumably factors into Contract Mode. The Halloween Pack will be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Hitman 2 releases November 13.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
