A few hours ago, Warner Bros tweeted a teaser of a new game that will be revealed this Thursday. However, it appears that its official website has spoiled that surprise. As we can see below, the logo for Hitman 2 is present at Warner Bros’ website, hinting towards an incoming announcement.
Let the countdown begin//72:00:00

Here is the link for the Hitman 2 logo. As we can see, this image link comes straight from Warner Bros so I guess it’s pretty obvious that Warner Bros will announce Hitman 2 in the following days.
In case you’re wondering, Square Enix released the latest Hitman game in an episodic form. However, IO Interactive then acquired the rights of the Hitman IP from Square Enix and has been handling it since June 2017.
Our guess is that Warner Bros will simply handle the distribution of the game and IO Interactive will retain the game’s rights. Whether this Hitman 2, which may be Hitman Season 2, will be released in episodic form like its predecessor remains a mystery.
Stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

NICE
Please don’t do the episodic form again. It’s utterly asinine. The game was actually fun, just don’t do the episodic form.

Give us the briefcase!
And the monkey paw shall deliver.
You’ll have a 0.5% chance of winning the briefcase via paid lootbox, the remaining 99.5% gets you a gold skin for your coins.
it isnt being published by ea or activision though…
EA is far better 😉 Everyone hates EA when meanwhile behind everyones back WB, UBI and others are in killing spree
How exactly are they on a killing spree?
Chill man, it can be worse…

Saving yourself from a terrible publisher, getting in the van with more evil one.
But iam even more evil than both of them!
I hope this game is sexier than the last one.
WB? Ready your rectums. Silverballers are coming to a lootbox near you
Hitman 2? We already have that game in the past… lol
The always-online, episodic format worked pretty well for IOI, they will surely do that again.
my sarcasm detector is malfunctioning.
No, I’m not being sarcastic.
Game failed tho. now they going for that +microtansation and dlcs for each episode.
Prepare for grinding game like shadow of Mordor..
worse than ea?
Well you could argue that WB is worse in that they’re not as incompetent as EA in their evilness. EA’s shenanigans tend to blow up in their face more often while WB gets away with it more.
it is obvious he is doing his best to get banned.
Also there’s always some people that are just crazy, imagine someone like Terry A. Davis commenting on DSOG.
Great, an even worse publisher than Squeenix and Eidos, time for more always-online DRM, an extra dose of Denuvo and worse microtransactions than ever before!
It was a commercial failure, it sold like 4k to 8k on PC from the start to last episode, after that number went to 200k not because it sold well but they made the first episode free. doesn’t matter what IO thinks, it was a failure (way worst than DE:MK) and thats the whole reason SE sold the IP.
And yes, i agree it was an improvement over Absolution (and a good game) but the bar wasn’t high tho.
Er, 8k? No dude, when they released episode 1 back in March ’16 it had around 120k owners on Steam within a week…
A year ago, before episode 1 was free and steamspy was still running, it showed almost 800k Steam owners.
Reported sales across all platforms are around 5 million copies.
Maybe it was a ‘commercial failure’ for SE in the same sense that Mafia 3 was a ‘commercial failure’ for 2K, because despite Mafia 3 moving 4.5 million units within the first week of release (impressive!) 2K higher ups said they needed to sell at least 8 million units for the game to be ‘profitable’.
But besides all of that, if the Hitman franchise would be dead, do you really think IOI would have invested in buying it for themselves?
Well, Steam page is up and, color me surprised, it’s not episodic!
Thank god for that, now lets see the game, DRM and DLC stuff.
