Too bad we ll have to wait further for the Freelancer but maybe we ll get an even better version out of it with new map included!!! I am really excited about the “intriguing narrative” of the new map!!! Maybe we ll get to see more of Lucas Gray !!! I also hope that this map will offer us a day / night cycle , something like planning and searching for the targets during daylight and dramatically kill them during the night !!!
P.S.Have we got any confirmation that this Map and Freelancer will be available for all Hitman 3 owners or will they be paid dlc ?
BTW please fix all u can with the may update pls, this is the most important thing! If we have to wait more for freelance for having a polished and debugged product, im totally up for it.
Well, nothing about that has been said yet.
Of course I hope to see them free. But… if those “big stuff” are free that would make 7DS more bad less fun and higher prices
FYI: There was a typo on the RM. It’s only the two upcoming ETs that are reactivated. The Iconoclast is a Y2 edition, so everyone can play that on may 27 (the date was wrong too, but is now fixed)
I’m glad that Freelancer seems to be very ambitious, but now the idea of “Big Content” releasing In July with the other “Big Content” coming who knows when, seems to me that I’ll have to abandon my hopes for a 2nd map.
Like, I get what you mean, a map that takes place after the trilogy, but Mendoza was designed to be a sendoff to the trilogy with continuity porn abound and about every target being mentioned in some manner.
No “actual” new items, but just reskin with a new outfit and a new ducky gun. Not a fan of ducky gun…
It seems that this gun has a “beaked” perk. Probably this gun will make ducky sounds when it fires Big contrast with Hitman’s world.
Beside the Iconoclast, other ET are reactivated. So, no new chance to play them if we already played them. A bit disappointed, because I really enjoy the ET Fugitive (fortunately, it’s available through ETA).
Freelancer is delayed. Well, in accordance with a previous post I wrote: I prefer a delayed release but at the end enjoying a polished mode with no bugs. So, I’ll be patient
New Rocky map and mission planned for July
It’s what I expected the most for now for H3.
Devblog mentions that this mission will take place before H3 events. It will be probably included between H2 Haven Islands and H3 Dubai. I’m happy that this new map is part of the WoA trilogy. This way, we can play through all maps with the same story.
I’m like 90% sure that mission on Ambrose Island will be happening either right before or after Whittleton Creek.
Based on guards uniforms it looks like we’re dealing with remains of Grey’s militia and maybe Maelstrom’s pirates here.
From what we know from main story militia disbanded before Sgail and having Grey wanting to get rid of those loose ends could work nicely into narration.
Mendoza does fit that role somewhat in the base game, but I thought that with Hitman Year 2, we’d get at least more than one new map. (Communication was a bit misleading on this, as they said we would get 2 new locations, but it seems they counted that Safehouse as one, so we end up with just one new REAL location)
And now that we know for certain that there’s probably not gonna be any new locations after Ambrosia Island, it’s just a bit disappointing to see that the last ever location this trilogy will ever see is one we kinda have already seen before (since it’s mostly a mix or Colombia and Haven) and not one fans have been wanting for a while now (Airport or a Snow map), that’s all
Looks fine. A bit jarring personally seeing the same ETs again but finally unlocking that bunny suit and teh 5mm with ducky theme are nice.
Also interesting tehy went with Rocky being before the events on the main storyline of H3. Should be interesting and looks like an infiltration mission a la Bjarkhov Bomb.
Doubling BACK on reactivations for ETs now… first we had the good idea of Year 2 #2 ETs, that everyone could play, but that annoyed the Steam players who had a row of old ETs. Now we’re getting those old ETs and who knows if everyone’s still gonna be able to play again.
Can’t please everyone though, oy vey!
Ducky Gun. Kinda meh, but its concealable AND finally, they’ve taken community consideration for it – it fires Ducky sounds! Wonder if the other guns will change too
Another community idea – Raver Suit with Bunny Mask. Good!
Featured Contracts. Ok. I wonder if we’ll be getting more challenges for that. I wonder if I can figure out a good idea for a contract…
May Patch. Well that’s good. Finally. A patch. All I gotta say about that until we know what’s in it.
The patch is the only thing in this roadmap I´m somewhat looking forward to, depending on its contents… Hopefully it will come with some proper bug/glitch fixes, cause those are LONG, LONG overdue.
Bunny suit or ducky gun? Couldn´t care less, especially since certain suits (e.g. 47´s Dubai turtleneck+keffiyah, regular ninja, CICADA commando, etc.) still remain unavailable, not to mention the lack of some actual new weapons. (but at least the bunny mask version of this suit is better than the one without it, I´ll give it that)
As for Freelancer´s delay, I´m okay with that if it means it´s more likely to be bug-free when it arrives. Still not entirely excited for the mode though until I have a better idea of how the mission/target generation will work.
It is nice to hear that Rocky/AI is coming pretty early, though again, like with Freelancer, I´m not sure how excited I should feel about it, particularly now that we know it will be set before H3 (btw I feel like smacking it between Haven and Dubai is too tight of a window). What loose ends from the story are there exactly?
There´s still a possibility they´ll release some bonus mission(s) at the end of H3´s live support (whether that´s next year or later - who knows, maybe there will be a Y3) and maaaybe that could include a snowy version of an existing map? Not a completely new location, but better than nothing
This Roadmap is interesting. A lot of emphasis on Featured Contracts which isn’t inherently bad. The content delay was expected.
ETA to my knowledge isn’t being fine tuned further in favor of finishing the larger pieces of content.
IO seems to be covering all previously released ET before they start re-releasing legacy targets. So Columbia will inevitably come around.
July is the time frame the new map with drop, I can’t quite say I’m that excited yet. But that’s because for how much we do know about the map we also know very little. As July gets closer I’m hoping more important questions will be answered pertaining to the new Location.
Mastery Track? Is this a Paid for DLC? How large is it gonna be?
The Yellow Rabbit Suit is a strange decision since they’re retroactively adding it to the Easter Event. With that being said it will be jarring seeing it beside the Raver suit.
Regardless, I’m glad that the Yellow Rabbit Suit is being added simply cause of what it could mean in the future. Halloween this year might lead to the highly requested Pumpkin Head suit from HITMAN 2 being retroactively added in Mills.
May Update is the best part about the roadmap imo. Simply cause we will get an idea of what June will look like so I’ll have my eyes focused on the leaks thread.
less fun and higher prices
Big contrast with Hitman’s world.
(im kidding, i know what you mean)
