This December, the team is back with several new events to celebrate the most wonderful time
In contrast to the episodic release of the 2016 Hitman game, Hitman 2 released all of its base content at once. For those more used to the episodic model, it appears as if IO Interactive is releasing their most recent game in piecemeal, this time with the Miami content as one pack. Previously, IO Interactive

Throughout its duration, there
Welcome back, everyone, to DualShockers’ annual Game of the Year awards selection! We are all one year wiser, and one year more excited than we were in 2017.

Twitter has made a name for itself by banning users who have innocently used words or phrases that the social media platform automatically picks up thinking they’re real threats. Another person has fallen victim to this, but this time it was about killing Sean Bean in IO Interactive’s Hitman 2. Hitman 2 is a game about assassinations
Sean Bean is arriving to the murderously fun Hitman 2 next week as an Elusive Target, and we’ve got a new video that you can watch below.

Hitman 2 will already have quite a bit of content when it launches next month, but today, a new multiplayer game mode was revealed to also be included. Warner Bros.

After being let go from Square Enix, the future of both IO Interactive and Hitman seemed to be in question. Even though IO Interactive retained the rights to the IP, there was uncertainty as to whether the studio could continue on much longer without a publishing partner. Luckily, IO found that partner and soon after revealed Hitman 2, a
