New ‘Hitman 2’ Elusive Target Revealed as Part of March Roadmap
IO Interactive have revealed the next elusive target for Hitman 2 players. From now until March 18, players will have the opportunity in the Hawke’s Bay level to eliminate Dame Barbra Elizabeth Keating, a corrupt politician who has dodged a scandal, and is about to embark on a PR tour with a body double for safety. If you manage to complete the contract without killing the double, you’ll get a higher rating upon completion.
As an added bonus, for those who still don’t own the game, this elusive target is also part of the recently-released Free Starter Pack for Hitman 2, meaning you can try this elusive target out for free!
This new elusive target is also part of Hitman 2‘s March update schedule, which also includes “The Butler Did It”, a challenge pack that unlocks a feather duster, some featured contracts sourced from the community, a Sniper Assassin map for owners of Expansion 1 and the Expansion Pass, and Escalation Contract in Colombia, and finally a Legacy Exclusive Target. The Butler Did It will be available on March 29, which will also feature the return of the Black Hat from the previous Hitman game. Eliminating him will unlock a tuxedo with gloves.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
