Featuring entirely new hyper-detailed sandboxes full of living, breathing environments to explore, HITMAN 2 offers players the freedom to plan the ultimate assassination utilizing an assortment of tools, weapons, disguises and a variety of stealth techniques to creatively trigger their own unique chain of events.

Hitman 2 takes players on a global adventure across a mix of bustling international locations, including a vibrant Miami setting with the colorful ambience of an in-progress motorsport race bringing a new backdrop to the series. From sun-drenched streets to dark and dangerous rainforests, each intricate location provides multiple paths to discover and unparalleled game depth.

Continuing the ultimate spy thriller story, Hitman 2 allows players to take on the role of the masterful Agent 47 and embark on a mission to hunt the elusive Shadow Client and unravel his militia once and for all. However, when 47 learns the hidden truth about his past, nothing will ever be the same.

Hitman 2 introduces new ways to play with the Sniper Assassin mode, a standalone feature that brings a co-op experience to the Hitman series for the first time, allowing two players to work together online to take down their targets. Sniper Assassin can also be enjoyed in a single player mode for those who want to play as Agent 47.

The Hitman : Sniper Assassin Competition is an all-new challenge for fans to put their marksman skills to the ultimate test, with top scoring Agents across PS4, Xbox One and Steam each eligible to win the grand prize of getting their name and likeness included in future Hitman 2 content. 

Starting today, players can participate by pre-ordering Hitman 2 and downloading the new standalone Sniper Assassin mode, which is a free early access bonus that is available to play now.

Participants can then officially enter the contest by registering for an IOI account and playing Sniper Assassin in “solo” mode as Agent 47. Throughout the competition period, participants can scope out high scores via in-game leaderboards to track personal improvement or to see where they stand amongst other Agents. Three top scorers, one for each respective gaming platform, will then be determined once the competition concludes on November 6, 2018.

This competition is only open to players in participating countries, including the United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Netherlands (excluding the Dutch Caribbean), Belgium, Australia and New Zealand.

Sniper Assassin is available to play now as an early access bonus for consumers who pre-order the Hitman 2 Standard, Silver, Gold or Collector’s Edition.

As an additional pre-order bonus, full game early access will be available for Gold or Collector’s Edition owners four days before release.

Hitman 2 will be available for PS4, Xbox One and PC beginning November 13, 2018.
