Hitman 2 coming, leak reveals

Warner Bros is teasing the reveal of a new game, and fans have quickly discovered that there’s very little chance that it’s not the next Hitman game. 

It began when Warner Bros sent out a tweet on Monday that teased the Thursday, June 7th reveal of a new game. The teaser strongly suggested that it was related to the reveal of a new Hitman game. If that wasn’t enough, the Hitman team sent out a teaser of their own which pretty much confirmed that more information about the next Hitman game will be revealed on Thursday. 

In case you needed even more evidence, Fans have even found what seems to be the logo for Hitman 2. 

We know that a new Hitman game is coming soon, but that information doesn’t answer the biggest question about the game; what kind of title will it be? The name “Hitman 2” suggests that it will follow-up IO’s latest Hitman game- unless this is somehow a remake of the original Hitman 2 – which makes a lot of sense, but it doesn’t quite explain whether or not this will be a standalone release or whether it will follow the seasonal release format of the most recent Hitman game. 

To be honest, we’d be a little surprised if the new Hitman game was released in a season format considering that fans initially balked at the idea of a full game being released over the course of several months. However, we’d also be a little disappointed if that was the case considering that Hitman‘s trickle of content actually made it easier to really explore the game’s incredible levels and complete the various objectives they contained. 

Regardless, it’s a bit of a relief to hear that there’s going to be a new Hitman game at all after Square Enix dropped Hitman developer IO and put the future of the franchise in doubt. The most recent Hitman is considered by many to be the best in the franchise, and we believe that IO’s best work might just be ahead of them. 

More on this as it comes in.
