Okay so just noting some interesting things, not really spoilers:
- Theyāve given some Asian guards Asian civ voices (they finally saw my wisdom) but no new guard lines recorded for them (They do not ask you to surrender, although at least the prompt is up for the normal time and isnāt skipped)
- They changed the NPCs in the rooms around Rieperās Suite, not 100% sure why at this stage but Iāll take it
- They removed everyone from Cross wing except cleaning staff (some may have been added, similar to the Source) and the three guards in security room. The even deleted everyone from fumigation area and managerās office (zero idea why, but no more Mrs Mookjai at least)
- They fucked up trespassing in the Cross wing and other guards will tell you off for being there

I like how they managed Bruce Leeās presence in the ET. Respectful and tasteful, plus intrigued what will have to be done to help him out in the mission and who is the actual ET.

I thought Bruce Lee was just a codename but it looks like thatās really itā¦
Thatās nice of you to pay this kind of tribute to him 
Iām surprised you got given the rights to use Bruce Lee in HITMAN. Thatās a nice opportunity, even if it doesnāt fit the WoA in my opinionā¦
Also i thought that he was our target but heās not even the target but a partner?! Kinda misleading 
So this looks like a kind of a bodyguard mission overall. This is strange choices for this new CelebrET, maybe this makes it a very unique mission anyway?
I see that you also plan to put this content for a limited time only? Not sure thatās a good idea, especially after all the backslash about The Disruptor issue 
At least we wonāt risk a trial for rape or any other misconduct with him 
Looking forward to try this new content anyway, even if i expected somethingā¦different.

Wow Bruce Lee is a legend. One of my favourite.
He would have been proud if he was alive.

Okay so Iāve replayed the mission in the elusive target aracde a couple times through now and every single time (without fail) I will be met with static fighters. They never want to do anything. Is this a me thing?

I had the same thing where it was just frozen on the mat with no fight beginning, so I restarted to get rid of them a different way. Annoying that the first half hour exploring the mission was for nothingā¦
Itās a known issue.
Itās already in the patch notes
Even before the launch.
KNOWN ISSUES
Below is a list of known issues that have been identified by the team who are working on fixes.
- In āThe Infiltratorā and āThe Dragonā, when Bruce Lee is fighting, itās possible for the fighters to get stuck under specific circumstances, blocking progression of the mission.

Cool, good to know that are aware of it, I really want to try the combat but alas no luck so far. Fun mission though. Thanks.
Some behind the scene from the live stream.
Some of the mocaps were made by Sofia Stunts, for what I understand.

I donĀ“t suppose the addition of kali sticks means that 47 will suddenly have dual melee weapon ability?
Is there a way to actually speed up the tournament? I was able to defeat the rivals easily, but then itās just waiting around for another 25 minutes for the tournament to be over and the target to die.
Other than that I like the ET. I especially like that the three side targets popping up donāt cause you to lose the ability to restart the mission, they learned from The Splitter.
I also feel it was pretty respectful of Bruce Lee. I like how they used him in the mission and made him a hero like he was in his films. At least they used an actual voice actor and not regurgitated AI.

There is a table in which you can cut and serve it to one of the target. Its right by the entrance to that tournament area.

You go up and kill him.
Slightly related note:
The Freelancer exit was in this ET which is something i didnt expect.
Does this mean it will come to the main missions finally as it should? Or maybe it already is since today, havent checked normal bangkok

First impression.
Looks really fun. And with a lot of potential.
Currently riddled with bugs. I will wait a fix before doing the ET proper.
The mission is dragged down hard by the ET format and its consequences. It makes it a confused and confusing mess.
Some of the level and mission design seem a bit sloppy. Amateurish. Unintuitive.
Jank in a way Hitman usually managed to rise above.
I never entered in a dialogue with the design. It was always stuttering, or unable to communicate what it wanted properly.
It just doesnāt flow right.
Like water it is not.

During this roadmap, youāll team up with Bruce Lee in the Celebrity Elusive Target mission āThe Infiltratorā, to take down Jiaolong Wu aka āThe Dragonā.
Taken from: Season of the Dragon Roadmap
Itās a bit strange, that the mission is not named after the target. But maybe IOI wanted to shine a bigger light on Bruce Lee, who is the actual celebrity, but not the target this time.
Will share more thoughts on the mission, when I have spent more time with it.

Genuinely the worst ET ever. Nothingās cooler than an unskippable 35 minute timer, and having no saves, as well as the most linear and tight map layout.
