  • The Summer 2025 Roadmap with a new Elusive Target Mads Mikklesen as Le Chiffre
  • Two additional new Elusive Targets in 2025 coming this fall, and this winter. For three in total this year
  • Partnership with Mood Publishing for a Hitman Boardgame, soon to be on KickStarter
  • Hitman World of Assassination coming to IOS this summer 2025
  • Hitman Coop, Stone and Knight return for their own missions in WoA locations. Still early days for it. More to come

(I am still trying to determine what the central 2026 “Hitman Classics” panel is. By caution I won’t say more. But the inclusion of C47 is intriguing)

It’s all alright, but what’s about MindsEye?
Sounds like it’s not an IOI’s game, like they just promoting it or what?

IO is now also a publisher and that is the first one they publish.

I assume they set the casino chip drop to start at the same time as the IOI Showcase Duck

Well considering so many of you are in Europe and will be unable to watch this live, I feel grateful that I’m on America’s east coast and can tune in at 9pm.

I am anticipating big Hitman news (like a new map or mode, or a promise of something big), a brief 007 gameplay dive, and for Mindseye to completely suck.

That’s the news now.
Seems they’re doing well then

If I’ll be in condition, I’ll wait for the stream to gain the duckie, though yeah, it’s a little bit late in the UK

I hope they don’t do this for any WoA unlocks, otherwise they’ll be the first items I don’t get. :grimacing:

So, how does the canon work with LeChiffre here? Is it canon to the game? Or is it just something fun?

Is anything canon anymore? Agent 47 returned like 9 times to the same location to kill different people there? :thinking:

I don’t think any of the freelancer/ETs are actually canon, even if a few of them have references to the story.

I feel like the Splitter is the only Elusive Target that could be considered canon. Otherwise yes, I agree with you
