Ben Eberle, Associate News Editor for Gamer Professionals, writes:
"Episode 2 of Hitman begins in the center of the small fictional Italian town of Sapienza, with Agent 47 reading a newspaper on a bench. This sets the tone for what will be a far more low-key endeavor than the previously released Paris mission. Sapienza is a beautiful seaside town, full of gorgeous houses and small cafes. Agent 47’s mission is to infiltrate a villa and stop a deadly virus from being manufactured by the Ether Corporation. Two targets must be eliminated, as well as the virus itself."
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.
From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.
Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
Sapienza looks like a fun place to explore. I'm going to have to check it out!
This has great attention to detail. Great missions to get lost in.
