[Gamescom 2018] Hitman 2 - Tested the new chapter of the IO Interactive series

During our stay at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, we had the opportunity to preview the new IO Interactive home title: Hitman 2. The developers presented us with a captivating trailer of the game which showed the new environments and the vast potential of the title. During our appointment we were pointed out some differences between the first chapter of Hitman and the latter: in the first season of the game it was in fact very easy to be discovered by the guards because of the weapon "in plain sight", while in this new chapter we will learn to be more discreet, hiding the weapon we equip in a simple case or inside other objects that we will find in the story. In Hitman 2 we will also learn how to make the most of the environments game and, unlike the first chapter, the stealth phases have been revised and improved as they are a bit "antiquated": plantations, trees, washing machines (yes, that's right), crowds, parties and much more will be essential to avoid being discovered by our enemies.



The news that await us in Hitman 2 are really a lot!

In Hitman 2 we will have the possibility to completely customize our killer: in fact, within the game we will have a vast clothing available that will be useful to complete the various missions that will be entrusted to us. Regarding the word "killer", the developers have stated that there will be over a hundred ways to eliminate our objectives and each of them will have to be discovered by the player as time progresses. An interesting novelty introduced in the sequel by IO Interactive certainly lies in the change of view: the player will always have a rear camera available, if he deems it necessary, that will watch his back even in the most critical situations. In the demo we tested, we were shown a small mission set in beautiful Miami, where we will have to try to assassinate a rich and powerful businessman (No Spoiler) ... Although the version we tested is still in the testing phase, the demo seemed optimal and performing, characterized by a solid and improved gameplay; the only flaw found is the graphic optimization which, as they absolutely promised us, will improve with the final version of the title.




The developers also told us that they still have a lot of things to reveal and that these will be revealed over the next few weeks. We are therefore satisfied with this work despite the game is still in a test phase and we are confident that the developers of IO Interactive will do an excellent job to bring a quality product to our consoles. We remind you that Hitman 2 will debut on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC starting next November 13th 2018. What do you think about it? Are you curious to try the new chapter of the series?
