I wonder how they're going to keep Hitman going on an indie budget. Seems expensive to make even if they use the same three voice actors constantly

But think about what's already finished: engine, animations, etc. They have to make new buildings and furniture for levels, and hire voice actors. But the levels are dense, not huge, and they don't have to build them all at once.

Has IO spoken publicly about season 2 since Square dropped them? Even if it's smaller in scope compared to season 1, it'd be a shame for things to end with the final elusive target next month.

The final elusive target is out now, in case anyone wants to get one last one in for Season 1. If you haven't been doing any you won't unlock anything, but if you've done a few this is your last chance to maybe unlock some of the bonus outfits. Can't wait for Season 2.

Speaking of which, do you know when that's coming out? And yeah, I liked killing "Mr Giggles". The extra step in the mission was an interesting addition/twist.

How did you do it? I climbed on top of the building next to where Mr Giggles' meeting/poisoning is (IIRC the agency pickup is up there), then pelted a brick at Mr Giggles after the ambassador left. I then hit the two bodyguards with bricks as well, when they went over to his body. (I left him unconscious like that in case I needed to reload :v:)
After that, I went into the café and put rat sack in his PA's drink, then just knocked her out after she went to the toilets to throw up. After that was done, I went back to Mr Giggles, broke his neck, then left.
I didn't get a perfect score due to being spotted, but eh, I don't care about that when it comes to the elusive targets. I mostly just want the bonus outfits, haha

Yeah, season one was amazing. I was highly dubious of the new Hitman initially, but after actually trying it out ages ago, I found that it's probably my favourite one. (Even without the dual pistols. Although to be honest, accurately dual-wielding handguns is pretty unrealistic, so I'm not fussed one way or another, in that regard)
I hope season two is just as good (and sells just as well) as the first one, so that they decide to continue on and do a third.

We’re going to let the announcement itself do all the talking, but there is one thing we want to clarify before then; this upcoming content is not “Season 2”. We’re saying that now to keep expectations in check.

47 is an amazing drummer, I'm sure he has the hand-eye coordination required for accurate dual-wielding.

I'd like a desert/Middle East setting but the first season's play areas seemed a little too compact for that to work.

I think they could make a Valley of the Kings setting work in terms of layout/size, and it has some obvious curse of the pharaohs potential in terms of disguises and opportunities.

Oh yeah, true - I forgot he drummed quite well in that Thailand mission

Ah, yeah this would be good. Or maybe an airport or something, if that hasn't been done yet. A nice bustling location like that would be good - especially with the timed opportunities that the arriving/departing trains/etc. would present.
