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.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and IO Interactive today released the Hitman 2 Elusive Target mission, The Undying Returns, starring international actor Sean Bean, who returns as former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin, Mark Faba. Starting today, players have until June 3 to take out Mark Faba in this high-stakes contract that can only be tried once. This is also a new chance for those who have attempted to eliminate Mark Faba in the past.

The Undying Returns mission is free for all players who have access to the Miami location, including those who picked up the Hitman 2 Miami Pack that became available as a standalone purchase earlier this week for $14.99, providing full access to the Miami location, as well as all associated missions, modes and content. Launching the mission will also unlock Lil’ Flashy – a flash grenade disguised as a robot into your inventory.

Additionally, the latest Hitman 2 roadmap for the month of May has been unveiled, featuring new Spring Break themed Challenge Packs, Escalation Contracts and Elusive Target Missions.

April 30 / Challenge Pack

First up this month is actually something we released last month!

The Spring Break Challenge Pack released alongside the Miami Pack earlier this week on the last day in April.

You’ll need to embrace the spirit of Spring Break and take on new challenges in Miami to unlock the Blue Flaming Outfit. It functions as a suit and can be taken to any location to give you a fresh new look for completing your missions.

May 3 / Elusive Target

The Undying Returns in Miami.

Sean Bean is back in HITMAN 2 as Mark Faba, an Elusive Target that will be active in the game for an entire month. From May 3 to June 3, you’ll have your one chance to eliminate Mark Faba and unlock Lil’ Flashy. In fact, you only need to launch the mission to add the flash grenade disguised as a robot into your inventory.

All HITMAN 2 players with access to Miami will have the chance to play The Undying Returns and completing it will count towards your progress of unlocking Elusive Target suits.

May 9 / Escalation Contract

The Sweeney Scrupulousness (try saying that five times quickly!) tasks you with eliminating targets as a medic using an amputation knife. We don’t think this is regular activity for Spring Break, but you’ll be in Miami for this one anyway.

The later stages of the Escalation will add new challenges and wildcards into the mix to put your skills to the test. As always, Escalations are about the gameplay challenge ahead of the realism. Enjoy!

May 16 / Challenge Pack

This month’s Challenge Pack puts your ninja skills to the test in New Zealand.

Find your inner-ninja and complete four new ninja-themed challenges to unlock the Tanto, a traditional Japanese sword. This lethal melee item can be used in close-quarters or as a thrown weapon.

Expect to sneak, strike and subdue your way through Hawke’s Bay for your reward.

May 23 / Featured Contracts

Each month we challenge our community to create interesting, exciting and fun contracts that match a theme.

Inspired by our monthly theme of Spring Break, with the release of the Miami Pack this month, we’re setting this month’s theme as ‘PARTY CRASHER’.

Our themes for Featured Contracts are purposefully open-ended to make sure that the talened Contract creators in the community are free to interpret them in many ways, ensuring some fun and varied contracts.

Head on over to the dedicated Featured Contracts Submission Thread to submit your contracts for this month’s theme. Submissions close at 9 am CEST on May 20, so get your submissions in before then!

May 23 / Escalation Contract

We’re heading from Miami to Mumbai for the second Escalation Contract this month.

The Chameleon Anonymity is all about disguise gameplay and we’ll be keeping you on your toes with new targets, requirements and complications throughout the three stages.

May 31 / Legacy Elusive Target

We end the month with a bang and an entirely new concept for Elusive Targets!

The Guru and The Congressman are two Legacy ET’s that are back in Sapienza – at the same time! This single contract includes the two targets and features a new briefing video and target bios. Completing the contract will count as 1 towards your progress for unlocking ET suits.

You’ll need to own the Legacy Pack to play this Elusive Target, so make sure you download it if you haven’t already!

Hitman 2 is available for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
