Hitman 2 is a 2018 stealth video game developed by IO Interactive. It is the seventh main installment in the Hitman video game series, the sequel to 2016's Hitman and the second game in the World of Assassination trilogy. The game continues the story arc started in Hitman, following genetically engineered assassin Agent 47 as he searches for the mysterious "Shadow Client" who is trying to destroy Providence, a secretive organization that controls global affairs. It also explores more of 47's mysterious background, which Providence offered to bring to light in exchange for 47's assistance. Like its predecessor, the game is structured around six large sandbox locations that players can freely explore to find opportunities to eliminate their targets. It also included two online multiplayer modes called Sniper Assassin and Ghost Mode, though the game's servers for both modes have since been shut down; Sniper Assassin can still be played single-player.
The base game features six different locations: New Zealand, Miami, Colombia, Mumbai, Vermont, and a fictional North Atlantic island called Sgil. Two post-launch updates introduced locations set in New York City and the Maldives. Sales of the 2016 episodic game Hitman fell short of expectations, prompting the series' publisher Square Enix to sell IO Interactive, which became an independent studio after a management buyout. With a limited cash flow, the studio laid off nearly half of its employees and had to reduce the scope of the sequel, whose development was about 25% completed. Because the framework had been created with the previous game, development of Hitman 2 was faster than usual, taking about twenty-one months. The first game's episodic model was abandoned and Hitman 2 was released in full. IO Interactive supported the game with additional content after release, including two paid maps and free elusive targets and contracts.
Like the first game in the World of Assassination series, Hitman 2 is a stealth game that is played from a third-person perspective.[2] The player assumes control of Agent 47, an assassin whose targets are scattered across the world. The game has eight missions that are set in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand; Miami, Florida; a village in Colombia; the slums of Mumbai, India; a suburb of Vermont called Whittleton Creek; and a fictional North Atlantic island called Sgil, set within the maritime borders of Scotland. The game's downloadable content (DLC) includes new locations: a bank in New York City and a resort in the Maldives.[3] Players can download all of the chapters from Hitman if the player owns it or has bought the content as DLC, which incorporates the gameplay changes added to Hitman 2 and allows Hitman to be played within Hitman 2's improved engine.[4] Each of the game's locations is a sandbox-type environment players can explore. Players must understand the layout of the maps to identify infiltration opportunities.[5]
Gameplay structure and design are largely similar to those of Hitman (2016). Players use variety of firearms and gadgets to eliminate their targets, and can use stealth tactics because Agent 47 is fragile in combat.[6][7] The bodies of dead targets must be hidden to avoid detection.[8] Alternatively, players can explore each location and eavesdrop on conversations to discover "missions stories", which are scripted mission sequences that help Agent 47 identify the location and routine of targets, and uncover unconventional infiltrations or opportunities to kill.[9][10] Kills can be disguised as accidental deaths.[11] Access to some areas of the game is restricted; players must gain access by obtaining a disguise either by incapacitating non-playable characters (NPCs) or by finding it somewhere in the map.[12] Agent 47 can use "Instinct mode" to identify the targets' locations.[13]
As with the previous games in the series, 47 is expected to blend into the environment by conforming to its social norms and rules. Several quality-of-life adjustments were introduced. Artificial intelligence controlling the NPCs will notice Agent 47 through reflections in mirrors.[14] A picture-in-picture mode informs players of events happening in other parts of the level. The instinct mode shows the field-of-view of security cameras.[15] Agent 47's briefcase can be used to smuggle firearms into a location,[16] and he can use foliage to hide from enemies[8] and blend in with crowds.[17] As players complete missions and challenges, they earn experience points (XP) and mastery levels, unlocking new starting locations and items when they replay the level. Non-lethal takedowns, completion of objectives, accidental and unnoticed kills, and efficiency contribute to the players' score and XP earned.[12] Players' performances would then be uploaded to and shared on a leaderboard.[18]
In addition to the single-player campaign, the game features several gameplay modes. Escalations are missions that include multiple stages. After completing each stage, the player will unlock the next stage which will increase the difficulty by adding additional targets or requirements (such as specific disguises or kill methods). Elusive targets are time-limited assassination missions that can only be attempted once. Contracts mode allows players to assign assassination targets, set requirements for their killings, and share their contracts with other players.[12]
Hitman 2 introduces two new game modes. In Sniper Assassin mode, players are tasked with eliminating targets from afar using a sniper rifle within 15 minutes. As in the main campaign, the NPC will react to the player's actions and each map has numerous assassination opportunities. This mode can be played solo or with other players, who will assume control of either Stone or Knight, characters who are equipped with concussive shockwave rounds and wall-piercing ammunition, respectively.[19][20] Ghost Mode is a competitive, multiplayer mode in which two players must race against each other to eliminate assassination targets. Players start in the same location with no equipment.[21] The two players cannot directly interact with each other but can see the other player's avatar and will be notified when the other performs certain actions. They also share a target and ghost crates that contain disguises and weapons the players can use. The players who last discovers the crates may be left with inferior gadgets. If a player eliminates the target, the other player will have 20 seconds to eliminate their target in their world. Successful elimination of a target scores one point; the player who receives five points wins the game. Players lose one point if they kill a non-target character.[22]
Following the events of Hitman, Agent 47 embarks on a mission to find the mysterious "Shadow Client" for Providence, a secretive alliance of corporate executives, politicians and industrialists collectively wielding political, military, and economic influence on the global scale. 47's employer, the International Contract Agency (ICA), has formed an uneasy alliance with Providence to stop the Shadow Client, whose actions are causing global panic, and 47 has agreed to help in return for Providence revealing his forgotten past. He begins by killing Alma Reynard, one of the Shadow Client's top lieutenants, in her home in New Zealand, and Providence defectors Robert and Sierra Knox at a racetrack in Miami. Meanwhile, the Providence leaders become angry at the killings of several CEOs and business tycoons associated with the group. Their immediate second-in-command, who first enlisted the ICA's services for Providence directly,[b] formally identifies the Shadow Client as Lucas Grey, a former head of security for Providence who, from his hideout in Central Europe, pursues his own plans with hacktivist Olivia Hall, intending to recruit 47 to help in his quest to destroy Providence.
In Colombia, 47 assassinates Rico Delgado, Jorge Franco, and Andrea Martnez, leaders of a drug cartel who have been using their smuggling network and business connections to aid Grey and his militia. 47's handler Diana Burnwood reports the mission's success to Providence while visiting her family's graves in Surrey, England. Flashbacks reveal she watched as her parents were killed by a car bomb. Grey and his team blow up the headquarters of Ether Biotech Corporation in Johannesburg, kill its CEO, and steal an unidentified item, while his militia use a hostage situation to publicly reveal Providence's existence. In Mumbai, 47 dismantles the militia's eastern cell by identifying and eliminating Grey's top lieutenant Wazir 'The Maelstrom' Kale and two of his associates, Vanya Shah and Dawood Rangan, who were responsible for the death of another Providence CEO.
47 follows Grey's trail to Romania and finds him at the asylum where he was created by Dr. Ort-Meyer.[c] Grey reveals that he is also a genetically engineered clone created by Ort-Meyer, formerly known as Subject 6, and reminds 47 of their past friendship and vow to take revenge on those responsible for turning them into assassins. Grey reveals Ort-Meyer was a member of Providence, which he says is controlled by three executive members known as the "Partners" and their second-in-command, known as the "Constant". After Grey's and 47's plan to kill the Partners failed, the former managed to escape, but 47 was captured and had his memories erased. Grey aims to capture the Constant, who is the only person who knows the identities of the Partners. His only lead, however, is 47's knowledge of the identity of the first Constant from a visit to Ort-Meyer decades earlier. Grey reveals the item he stole in Johannesburg is an antidote that may counteract 47's memory loss. Diana is initially reluctant to work with Grey, arguing the ICA does not take sides, but eventually abides by 47's wishes to help Grey.
After taking the antidote, 47 recalls that the first Constant was a KGB spymaster known as Janus. To avoid detection by the ICA and Providence, Diana files a false report implicating Janus as the Shadow Client while claiming Grey is a subordinate, giving 47 a pretext to assassinate Janus, who is living in Vermont after retiring. After killing Janus as well as the head of his security detail, Nolan Cassidy (so as to avoid his contradicting the report), 47 finds evidence that he was planning to meet the current Constant at a gala held by the "Ark Society", a plutocratic survivalist group founded by Janus during his tenure as Constant. The Partners, believing the report, coerce a resentful Constant into injecting himself with a chip that will release lethal poison into his body if he is compromised. After Hall locates the gala on a remote North Atlantic island, 47 travels there to capture the Constant and kill Zoe and Sophia Washington, the Ark Society's newly appointed chairwomen, who each hold a trigger for the chip. After obtaining the triggers, 47 confronts the Constant and threatens him with them to secure his discreet removal from the island.
