Hey everyone!
I am normally bad att sharing the information directly here, so I thought I would actually do it this time.
Here is the latest patch notes:
https://ioi.dk/hitman?panel=hitman%2Fpatch-notes%2F2024%2Fhitman-woa-september-2024-patch-notes
Will take in all the feedback, be constructive!
enjoy
best regards

Will take a look presently!
We did it reddit. We actually did it. Ambrose is now chronologically accurate.
The obligatory sunglasses fix and Paris briefings are also fixed, which was a fairly easy hit guess-wise.
I did NOT see the purple baseball bat coming. That completely came out of left field (pun not intended). Iām also happy to see The Undying repeat again, which I also did not expect.
While I do like these changes overall (thereās now at least twice the amount of notes!), Itās not exactly straying from what many of us expected, and even the amount of fixes is still not that many (A few fixes couldāve been done in a hotfix).
The pattern of āElusive Target, challenges with item unlocks, seasonal free starter pack content, New CelebrET DLC, and new twitch dropā is good, but it feeling easy to predict doesnāt help with how rigid and, one could argue, how stale the content palette has become for returning players.
Still, this is definitely an improvement over the Season of The Disruptor, at least going off of these patchnotes.
A purple baseball bat is certainly an odd choice for a twitch drop hopefully we get a purple ica 19 next
The notes also contains what will be in the roadmap.
We were all wrong: itās a purple baseball bat.
Also four more challenges, with four more suits and weapons. Canāt wait to see what they are!
New Challenges

And it needs to be said: thanks @Combatglue on the communication here.
The Club Boom 12" Vinyl Sampler
What could this be a reskin of? Bomb? Audio distraction?
Still missing from the patch notes: This guy still doesnāt have a dot on the map. I mean he really would deserve one. Heās an enforcer for a lot of disguises!
Which suit is that of the unlocks presented?
Gotta say, I like what Iām seeing in this update. Fixes we wanted, some content we wanted, still not pleased with just another purple reskin of something behind the twitch drop, but a minor disappointment. Iām more interested in what suits we can unlock from those challenges.
While itās appreciated there are a bit more fixes done in the patch, thereās still a lot of stuff not fixed given that the next patch wonāt be for at least 4 months
I would love if the vinyl acts like a frisbee you can throw across the map. 
As I posted in the speculation topic: canāt wait to use it in Patient Zero.
it really did help that I got slapped with it 
This is noted, I have brought it up to the attention internally so you know.
One step atleast! 
While Iām here, I am curious to know why the shadow-dropped content from 10 days ago-ish was not promoted on Twitter/ Discord/ other places. Because that information should have been told to people.
there is more then one reasonā¦ but the biggest one, vacation time in the Nordics.
But there are some more reasons, but I will do my best to try not to let this happen again.
Pretty intrigued by what some of the new challenge unlocks could be. The returning ET picks also seem good, either a decent mission and/or one that unlocks a sought-after suit.
Purple Bat isā¦ lol. Kind of a weird choice, but I havenāt paid much mind to the Twitch drops (though I might have to jump on that since the goodies are stacking up).
Regarding the shadow-dropped content, I had heard about the Look Out Below FC batch a little early and was actually surprised it wasnāt released alongside The Drop, given the theme. However, from what Iāve gathered it was a really well-received batch (especially compared to the previous oneā¦ what happened there?) and it gave folks something to do while waiting on the next patch, so thatās cool.
I think he does not show on the minimap beacuse he is on a slightly elevated plank, so the game might consider that a different height level and the minimap only shows NPCs on the same level as 47.
Perfect time for another story playthrough.
I did not need an excuse
With all the fixes targeting Sgail specifically itās sad that the psycho guards are still not fixed 
Glad to see the Paris cutscenes and the glasses bug got taken care of though. Ambrose getting āin the right placeā is nice too.
How is the Undying ET going to work for people who already took him out a few months ago? Is it a new, different instance or just a rerun for those who missed him?
Ambrose in the right place is good, great even. Now just give me an escalation on that map and Iāll be happy.
"September 12th ā Electric Trilogy

Proximity Micro taser maybeā¦?
" October 14th ā Adding Fuel to the Fire

Fuel canister maybe? I hate lugging that thing around in Freelancer but I could find uses for it in the campaign.
The purple bat reminds me of Saints Row 3.
Seems like a not half bad update.
