This game was released on November 13, 2018 and is no longer available to pre-order. Any incentives that were offered are listed below.

Hitman 2 is a stealth assassination game developed by IO Interactive and published by Warner Bros. It is a direct sequel to the 2016 reboot of the series, and has Agent 47 embarking on a mission to hunt the elusive Shadow Client and learning the hidden truth of his own past.

The official announcement promises a wealth of improvements in the upcoming installment, including NPC vision, better crowd fidelity, and new items such as concussion gadgets. The game features six initial maps, each which living and breathing environments that a player can use to their advantage and take out their targets in creative ways. Hitman 2 will launch as a full game, dropping the episodic nature of its predecessor, albeit there are at least two future expansions in the works.
