IO Interactive has finally lifted the curtains on the next entry in their acclaimed Hitman franchise, and the release date for Agent 47’s next playable adventure is closer than most of us probably thought, since it will be among us on November 13, 2018. Gamers who decide to preorder HITMAN 2 (which doesn’t seem to be an episodic release) will be rewarded with immediate access to Sniper Assassin, a new game mode that includes both singleplayer and co-op content based around surgical eliminations using high powered sniper rifles.

Travel the globe and track your targets across exotic sandbox locations in HITMAN 2. From sun-drenched streets to dark and dangerous rainforests, nowhere is safe from the world’s most creative assassin, Agent 47.

Prepare to experience the ultimate spy thriller story; your mission is to eliminate the elusive Shadow Client and unravel his militia, but when 47 learns his target’s true identity and the truth about his past, it changes everything.

HITMAN 2 introduces new ways to play, new game modes and new features, including the new Sniper Assassin mode with franchise first co-op play.

Oh, and the game’s announcement trailer features a very familiar voice. Any guesses on whether he’ll survive this adventure or not? (Who are we kidding, if he can be killed, this mysterious person will most definitely die).
