Planning the next roadmap: 2026

@Heisenberg

I’ve been wanting it for so long, I almost don’t know what to do now.

Just wait for the version with the gloves but without the turtleneck :3

[LandirtHome]

I assume the Tactical Gear Suit is already planned and scheduled in.
Just this roadmap wouldn’t have been the best to have it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason we did not get the Colorado Hatless as an unlock this roadmap is because it already has a similar leather outfit.

I mean it even look closer to Leon outfit in Resident Evil Requiem.
While the Turtleneck allowed a nostalgia trip for the anniversary.

I know some don’t like the driver gloves but, if they’re giving us the sniper from Hantu Port, why not the suit from Hantu Port as well? That suit seems to be the one that was used in H2 advertising, too.

[Heisenberg]

The driving gloves only look good on very specific suit. Short sleeves, dark pants, and sunglasses. So really, only the Sapienza and Miami outfits. We can incorporate the nighttime Sapienza one without glasses as well just for consistency. And the Absolution suit works too, because that’s the look for that suit. All the others, the driving gloves just don’t look right.

@Melusca

Just wait for the version with the gloves but without the turtleneck :3

Or with long sleeves!

It would have made a fun unlock for April’s Fool, “signature suit with driving gloves”
Knowing the relation the larger community has with the driving gloves. A knowing joke and a wink.
Too late now though.

Mission: ICA Facility - The Final Test
Type: Feats

Cleared for Field Duty

• Eliminate everyone. Everyone.
• Congratulation agent.

Unlock: Signature Suit with Driving Gloves
Release date: April 1st, April’s Fool

Besides, since we have new classic challenges.
Why not officially adding a community classic “Kill Everyone Challenge”?
Maybe even make it feasible in any mission?

LOOOOVE THIS Thanks a ton!

I’ve made a bunch of ideas for challenges and Twitch Drops in the past that I think would be cool to be added

Twitch Drop: Idea for the next twitch drop that I’d like to see

This one I just want because wow what if we got something which was thematically appropriate as a Twitch-drop, but not just a purple gun or something

And then here’s a list of some challenge ideas I made almost 2 years ago. These ones are good I think because they add new challenges for other gamemodes, not just the main missions, which i feel like is needed to make the whole WoA feel more cohesive. And also because they add inaccessible and Freelancer-exclusive items, which I think people really want. I think that devs have maybe said something before about not wanting to release these old unlocks, but thats just stupid and I hate it:

Hitman WOA - Challenge Ideas

Title: Home Run! Type: Feat Condition: As the Baseball Player, pacify 5 guards with the HF Championship Bat without getting spotted Mission: Situs Inversus Reward: Baseball Player Suit Title: Hoisted by their own petards Type: Feat Condition: Neutralise 5 Assassins with The Assassin’s HWK21 Mission: Freelancer Reward: The Assassin’s HWK21 Title: Merces Mercenary (I cant think of a good name for this one) Type: Feat Condition: Intercept 20 Couriers Mission: Freelancer Reward: Merces…

There’s so many good challenges and unlocks in that thread that are now buried under obscurity, I hope some old ones get relooked at or reposted here or something

Here are two things that aren’t unlocks but instead very much wanted (from me at least, and I’m pretty sure from a lot of people) QoL changes. I don’t know if this is keeping in topic with the thread, but whatever, I want to get these out too.

1. Make side objectives in Whittleton Creek optional after your first playthrough, like in Chongqing and Colorado. Also do this for Dartmoor, to be honest I thought this was already the case for Dartmoor but I guess not? Basically, anything that isn’t about killing someone should be optional after one playthrough
2. Change Briefcase in Freelancer: Hypothetical "Briefcase Room"

Basically, just let us choose something other than our default briefcase to bring in in freelancer, like is done with suits

“Tourism” Mode

The maps in Hitman are so meticulously crafted, I often find myself wishing I could let my guard down and just wander around exploring them for a while.

It might be nice to have “tourism” mode, where there is no mission. Instead, one just gets to spend a lovely afternoon in Sapienza or elsewhere.

Minecraft has something similar with “creative” mode, where you don’t have to worry about surviving; you can just be and enjoy the world.

Wednesday will mark the tenth anniversary of the beginning of World of Assassination. It would be a great opportunity for a package of new bonus content, perhaps bringing back things that were cut over the years (missions, elusive targets, suits, items). I know it won’t happen, but it would be nice.

[hitman2]

I hope to unlock the following disguise through the challenge:

@blutgeld

perhaps with all the new featured contract batches it’s time to add a few more tiers to the featured contracts challenges? At least 3 more like 80, 90, 100 featured contracts completed rewards.

Also maybe another 100 freelancer progression with new stuff sprinkled in. So many of us have achieved 100 and it would be nice to have another go to reach level 200.

Circling back to this post, the co-creator of Slay The Spire has just given the first post-launch interview since the roaring success of Slay The Spire 2, and in this time-stamped video below, he summarises a philosophy that I wish IOI would have taken some notes from when creating some of the dreadful grind found in Freelancer and Sniper Assassin Mastery tracks. Learn from the best, IOI!

What's next for Slay the Spire 2: the ending, new character(s), new modes?

I never noticed this thread until now, but I do have a few requests since Summer, Fall, and Winter 2026 is coming up:

1. Haven Island Swimwear suit (Summer request)
2. Recolors of the Haven Island Swimwar suit (blue open shirt and black shorts for example as a Summer request)
3. Water Canister (Summer request)
4. More Aluminum Travel Briefcases (Summer request)
5. Vampire Magician suit (Fall/Halloween request)
6. Black Ninja suit (Fall/Halloween request)
7. Purple Ninja suit as a Twitch Drop (Fall/Halloween request)
8. Green/Emetic Easter Egg (would have been an Easter request, but since, historically, Ninja assassins in Japan used poisoned eggs to eliminate targets, Fall/Halloween to match the Ninja suits would be the second best time for this item)
9. Black Winter suit finally available as an unlock (Winter request)
10. Black Winter suit with Purple Tie, Purple Pin, and Purple Buttons as a Twitch Drop (Winter request)
11. Santa Suit without the beard (a reference to “Hitman: Blood Money” as a Winter request)

I also have some miscellaneous requests that don’t necessarily have any theme for a specific month/season:

1. Bronson M1928 SMG from a “Hitman: Absolution” DLC (except this time make it either a minimum of a 50 round drum mag, or a maximum 100 round drum mag)
2. Fusil X2000 Stealth Assault Rifle
3. Purple Claw Hammer as a Twitch Drop
4. Purple Sieger that plays “Ave Maria" as a Twitch Drop
5. Emetic Gum
6. “The Violet Suit" (a purple recolor of The Scarlet Suit”) as a Twitch Drop
7. Purple Lockpick as a Twitch Drop
8. Antique Sedative Syringe
9. 47’s Signature Suit with Gloves, except with a Purple Tie as a Twitch Drop
10. 47’s Signature Suit with Gloves without a tie
11. Fiber Wire Purple Tie as a Twitch Drop
12. More variations of starting suits (such as the Colorado Hunting suit without the hat, gloved Italian suit without the sunglasses, gloved Miami suit without the sunglasses, etc.)

Miscellaneous fixes/balance updates:

The Sedative Syringes should be updated to have x3 syringes carried, while the Emeric syringes should be updated to have x2 syringes carried. In the meta, they never really get used because of things like the Kalmer and the Sieker. This would encourage more experimentation.

Make a third inventory slot exclusive for Fiber Wire/Garotte weapons. Possibly even make the third inventory slot unlockable by completing the Piano Man challenge on every main map or something. Kinda like how “Hitman” (2016) had unlockable starting locations to be more unique unlocks.

Make Fiber Wire/Garotte weapons their own category in the Inventory.

The Shashka A33 Gold doesn’t look as gold in the icon in the Inventory as it does in-game.

If I think of anything else, I’ll let you know and post here.

Can we get rid of the extra Freelancer menu? We shouldn’t have to click an extra time to get into the Safehouse because of that stupid “How to Play” video. Put it somewhere else. The constant checking with the servers for a SINGLEPLAYER experience is bad enough, and I hope they take a ton of heat if they put it in the Bond game too. Only reason I’m NOT pre-ordering.
