With TV its fine, you immerse yourself in one episode and only have to wait a week for the next one. As a massive admirer of story-driven titles, being restricted to periodic play-sessions – each generally lasting only a couple of hours – for me effectively stunted the immersive narrative experience contained within each game. I consider myself to be a fairly patient person, but episodic games always seem to succeed in bringing out a rather undignified sense of impatience in me. Now don’t get me wrong, I never used to be a fan of the structure used in the first game. The Essence of ‘Periodic Play’ – problems vs prospects While many gamers will no doubt rejoice at this knowledge, I for one can’t help but feel a little bit disappointed. Come 13th November, all 6 levels will be released as one complete title. The mode has a unique arcade feel to it, with players being confined to a single location and forced to use only their perceptive skills and tactical prowess to spot the cleanest way to assassinate each target using only a few well-placed bullets.Īrguably the most important aspect of the reveal, however, is an official confirmation of the rumour that has been circling for some time: Hitman 2 will not follow an episodic release format. The mode can be attempted solo or with a friend, and tasks players with taking out 3 targets during a wedding using only their sniper rifles.

The first mission has already been confirmed, and will have 47 assassinating targets during a motorsport race in Miami. Directly following the events of the last game, its sequel will send Agent 47 on ‘a global adventure’ as he hunts the Shadow Client and his militia across another 6 expansive sandbox levels. IO Interactive and WB games have officially announced Hitman 2, with a PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release date set for 13th November this year.
