The announcement arrives justa day after the title leaked, so this was likely meant to be an E3 surprise.Hitman 2will take players to a fresh sandbox full of new weapons, locations, targets, and tools to plan their perfect assassination. The game’s trailer looks like it is taking everything that worked in the last Hitman title and just adding on to the formula.

In addition to the single-player campaign, Hitman 2 also is putting a focus on co-op action with a standalone Sniper Assassin mode…
“Hitman 2introduces new ways to play with the Sniper Assassin mode, a standalone feature that brings a co-op experience to the Hitman series for the first time, allowing two players to work together online to Take Down their targets. Sniper Assassin can also be enjoyed in a single player mode for those who want to play as Agent 47.”
Super fans can get in on the action ahead of the crowd because Sniper Assassin is available to play now as an early access bonus for customers who pre-order theHitman 2Standard, Silver, Gold or Collector’s Edition.
