There still is the possibility that it was Grey’s house now occupied by 47. It would make sense in the lore. (and 47 already took his coat, so what’s a mere house between brothers)

Lucas Grey was the head of security for Milton-Fitzpatrick CEO, Eugene Cobb amongst other well paying and prestigious job before he went on doing what we all know him for (starting with his employer).

* * *

Or it’s just a new nightcall as @Pitman said.

Imagine we all got it wrong and it’s neither 47’s hideout or a new mission? 🤣🤣

Joking aside, I do think the trailer is very well put together and the target range might be part of 47’s rumoured hideout and the other shot outside showing the house could be the new mission?

I guess they do things like this is film trailers and put things together thinking they are part of the same scene/location and they actually aren’t. Could be way of IOI to get our imaginations running? 😉😉

In spring we will discover that it’s actually a brand new sniper map ! One full of 10 seconds window after 10 minutes of waiting challenges. And where the trees are always in our way. 😀

* * *

More seriously, it could be a mix of both mission and hideout, the same way the deterministic mode was implemented in the Dartmoor Garden Show.  
A normal mission (normal target, or a more “special” mission like reclaiming the place) followed by the unlock of a special starting point with no NPC and maybe more special interaction.  
That would also allow to implement a narrative during the first launch of the map without encumbering the possible safehouse function afterwards.

I wouldn’t be against it. Currrently every time I try new suits, wish to test items, or just want to walk around I just launch Sapienza with the ICA Safehouse starting point and the ICA safehouse pickup. I must have done that a hundred time now,  
So giving an alternative, even if it’s not dedicated, would be right for me.

 ![The One True Safehouse](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/2/a/2a38be1f03b487eef5f1d8739c4cb9467741c237.png)  
The One True Safehouse

But that’s pure speculation, and it’s true that I haven’t seen the possibility of the old juxtaposition trick, as you said in your post. 🤔

(personally I still think it’s one dedicated location)

* * *

I’m also curious to see how it will be implemented in the menus (if we don’t have a new one to go with a potential all games as one approach).  
The Hitman Team have been more and more careful with them lately to not have everything hidden in obscure alcoves for the new players. (the 7DS submenu, the Hitman 2 unlocks like the Kashmirian in the Escalation Challenges always visible in all locations…)

Modes and ways to play can’t be developed at a glance. I feel that Seven Deadly Sins was a practical trial and error for IOI; We got Vitality meter, AI controlled Ghost Competent and attack waves, alongside more (minor) features; But some of them seemed to be, well- not mature. The Ghost Competent was slow, Vitality meter could’ve been implemented better etc. But putting them _in the game_, They could easily see how well they work out, what is the fanbase feedback and most importantly in what ways they can improve those having a larger population of “testers”. Beside it could work as roadmap content and bring up related themed content (FCs and ETs).

It is also in fact what already happened in H2. They gave us The Vector in H1 GOTY which very obviously was a test for the upciming Sniper Assassin Mode in H2.

Well, I wish they’d put the bullet distraction into The Vector that they have in Sniper Assassin. More than one and they’re running. Irritating.

I feel that the Vector was more of a callback to St. Petersburg Stakeout and it was (perhaps) a low amount of work to add another level to the campaign.

The concept for Sniper Assassin mode had pretty much been done already with the preorder bonus map for Absolution.

The concept yes but probably some technical details still needed to be put into the current engine. I did not play the Abso preorder mission so I don’t know which elements were indeed new in The Vector, but I am sure there are some, also under the hood.

Just had another idea:  
There was a training shooting range with all those firearms. What if, hypothetically, you can compete with the AI competent there? “Who gets to shoot x trainees faster”?
