There’s an idiot on reddit/Discord trying to falsely spread word that Freelancer is the start of Year 3 despite multiple people telling them they’re wrong. Yet they continue.

Year 3 content has been hinted at by Travis, but nothing has been confirmed as yet as all the focus is on Freelancer at the moment.

Any new updates on Year 3 content will be posted on the forum almost straight away if and when it’s announced :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh it’s that person. While technically what they’re saying is true, it’s in the literal 3rd year after Hitman 3’s launch. Year 2 actually started before their definition of Year 2, which means Elusive Target Arcade released in Year 1 by their calendar.

Oh, and IOI can control when their arbitrary period for marketing starts/ends.

I believe it was Travis here in this thread that said it was “TBD” (to be decided), so maybe we are or aren’t getting a year three, it all’s up in the air right now and too soon to tell. But if all the unlocks stop with freelancer and a few other small things that players wanted, I’ll be totally fine with that.

I got more than my fair share of time out of the trilogy and i throughly can’t wait to see what IO will do in the future and further evolve the mechanics and franchise as a whole. I think IO is in a really good spot right now with the end of the trilogy and Project 007 seems to be in good hands.

The more I hear/read about “Year 2” I can’t help but think of “Year __” and a pink 2 sticker. :unamused:

Well of course. But I don’t necessarily expect it. It can be a nice surprise.

they likely will, more money

Would depend on what the “Year 3” content would be tbh. By the time we get to it, if it’s just the ETs that didn’t get #2’d (which would probably only be about 9-10 from H1) and another cycle of the H3 ETs, Arcade contracts and some FCs - I would say no.

Other than the launch of the Arcade, Ambrose Island and (eventually) Freelancer, Y2 has been a bit lackluster. I’d rather just see the live content come to an end than see it just limping along just for the sake of it.

Can we just like… not talk about a TBD Year 3 until Freelancer’s out? :sweat_smile:

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but Travis said we don’t want to talk about it until we’re ready to talk about it, and I don’t want anyone to start getting hopes up about nothing we know about post-Freelancer.
