Miami Pack For ‘Hitman 2’ Gives Players a Second Chance to Kill Sean Bean
Yes, the Hitman 2 Starter Pack has been available for a while now, but if you still haven’t checked the game out, IO Interactive have tweaked things to sweeten the pot.
The devs have made available (for a low price point) the Miami Pack, which coincides with a “Spring Break” event this month (as was detailed in the Expansion Pass Roadmap. The Spring Break event contains a new challenge pack, a blue flamingo mascot outfit and more to be revealed in a later update.
Meanwhile, the Miami Pack contains the Miami missions, the Starter Pack content, the multiplayer Ghost mode and Sniper Assasin modes, and a number of contracts for players to try. That also includes the Sean Bean Elusive Target.
Initially titled “The Undying,” now retitled “The Undying Returns,” this mission gave players one shot at killing Mark Faba (portrayed by Sean Bean), an actor notorious for dying a number of times in movies and television shows. This Elusive Target will be available from May 3 to June 3, and any Hitman 2 player with access to the Miami content can play this mission, even those who played the first iteration of it. Completing it successfully will earn players the Flash Grenade Robot.
The Miami Pack is out right now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam for $15 USD.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
