Aren’t the contacts you can interact with and buy items from in-game (a video clip example was shown of a gardener in Dartmoor) supposed to replace ICA pick-ups?

Hmmm. This picture worries me. Why are there options on the top left? Escalation-like contracts?
Hope they are optional.
Follow the conditions and get rewarded, probably.

You make more money on the contract if you complete those conditions.
The no damage option is interesting, to me it either implies there are more methods of taking damage or larger guard presences.
Or it just acknowledges that a decent size of the player base likes to get into gun battles from time to time, or maybe it’s just a “gimmie” condition so that players are regularly earning at least 1 extra Monopoly money (or whatever it will be called).

Oh, I hope that’s a hint that, as I’ve desired, 47 and Diana are planning to relaunch their own ICA and are using the money they make from these contracts to do so. More likely IO simply used a familiar symbol, as a way of paying respect to ICA, which 47 and Diana might do as well since they genuinely enjoyed working there, but I can dream.

Hmmmmmm
Assuming Freelancer mode takes place after the events of Hitman 3, this will be interesting?

That’s the regular “contract” icon. The simplified ICA icon, while being similar, has some minor differences, most notably having a crown on the skull.

@Travis_IOI Will new items/weapons in Freelancer only be available in that mode?

Freelancer questions will be answered closer to the mode being released.

in the reveal trailer we saw a burner phone and oil can for sale from the smugglers so I would imagine so
And that’s when, again?
(Worth a shot, right? 
)

thank you travis im looking forward answer question on the freelancer mode
I wonder if the M symbol describing the amount of the payout for the campaigns that we see on the dossiers means the amount rather than the currency. 3M = 3 million, 20M = 20 million, and such.
It makes sense, when one considers how the ICA worked and what the earlier games say about 47’s charging fee in the early 2000s. Supplemental material indicates that 47 charged a low-end fee of $100K, and a high-end fee of $300K, with increases depending on the difficulty; it was stated that his highest in the earlier games was the cult leader in H2:SA at $600K, an industry record high. Assuming other gamma-level hitmen employed by ICA charged similar fees, that means for ICA to be as profitable as it was, the actual amounts the clients paid per contract had to be in the millions, with them sending the appropriate fee to their agents, handlers, and any other vendors involved in a contract, the appropriate amount to the overall ICA budget for R&D and supplies and whatnot, and the upper management pocketing the rest.
So with Freelancer having no network as a go-between for 47 and his clients, unless Diana set up some small middle-man arrangement while they get this operation going, 47 and Diana would realistically be collecting the entire contract and pocketing millions for themselves while putting the rest toward whatever their operational goal may be (reviving ICA, please). So maybe that’s what the Ms are all about.

The M has a line or two lines through it kinda like the S, E, L, and Y of major world currencies. $€£¥ so that makes me think it’s a fictitious currency of some sort.

Possibly Merces, the currency present in some old concept arts.
