HITMAN 2 is coming on November 13th to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as announced today by developer IO Interactive and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
David Haddad, President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, said:
We are thrilled to partner with IO Interactive on HITMAN 2 and bring the latest game in this iconic franchise to the passionate HITMAN fanbase and new players. IO Interactive has done a fantastic job with the Hitman franchise, and this new game will provide a distinct gameplay experience for players to be creative in larger sandbox locations.
Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive, added:
We are very proud to announce HITMAN 2 as the next exciting chapter in our ever-expanding world of assassination. Building on the success of our previous game, HITMAN 2 introduces exciting new features, new modes and franchise firsts to make for a larger and richer game. We couldn’t have wished for a better partner than Warner Bros. to bring this game to our passionate community and introduce new players to our universe. Welcome back 47!
This is going to be a full game rather than the previous episodic experience, though there'll be post-launch expansions. Three versions have been confirmed: Standard Edition, Silver Edition and Gold Edition (which includes two expansions; the Silver includes one).
Furthermore, a standalone co-op mode called Sniper Assassin is available now as an early access pre-order bonus.

From sun-drenched streets to dark and dangerous rainforests, nowhere is safe from the world's most creative assassin, Agent 47.Prepare to experience the ultimate spy thriller story; your mission is to eliminate the elusive Shadow Client and unravel his militia, but when 47 learns his target's true identity and the truth about his past, it changes everything.
