‘Hitman 2’ November Roadmap Revealed, Next ‘Hitman’ Game “Well Underway”
Fans of IO Interactive’s efforts with Hitman 2 will be rewarded again in the future, as alluded to in the game’s November roadmap, the next installment is under way.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The November roadmap for Hitman 2 unfortunately states that while we won’t be getting new missions this month, there’s still a wealth of Featured Contracts coming, as well as the addition of Community-curated Contracts. There will also be some Seasonal Content added added to the game permanently, though the announcement doesn’t specify what that would be. There’s also a new Escalation and Elusive Contract coming in December.
But the big news, obviously, is that along with the roadmap, IO Interactive states that the company is “looking increasingly to the future”. They outright say what that means: “In real terms, we’re moving more and more of the Hitman 2 team to join the next Hitman game, which is well underway.”
As for what 2020 will bring the game, IOI states that they will “focus on continuing to add Featured Contracts as well as introduce Community-curated Contracts into the game,” as well as planning to re-activate past Elusive Targets to give players a chance to snag any loot they missed the first time. Which also means you get to kill Sean Bean all over again.
Hitman 2 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
