Season of the Wizard - Roadmap summer 2026

Ah. Makes sense. I’m one of the few people that didn’t request access to the leaks topic. Then it wouldn’t be so much “cut content” as it is “delayed content”.

“This is a pretty cool feature. Let’s save it as an unlock for later.” -IOI, probably.

Fantastic news to hear about whilst on my work break! Looking forward to seeing this summer’s content. I do think the ET choices are quite uninspiring however. Quite keen to try out the level IV access pass as that essentially brings a popular mod to the mainline game. https://www.nexusmods.com/hitman3/mods/408 More QOL features being brought for everyone to enjoy is a good thing!

i absolutely love the music options. Hopefully we get an option for that new track to be a menu theme, or the classic themes, or hell a randomize option

Also @IOI_Artjoms sorry to @ you again but i have three bugs to report: one new and two old

The first is that hidden stashes on ps5 automatically disconnect tge game

The second is i want to get clarification: in-game the midnight black suit in mendoza has a unique trespassing permission. Is this intended?

The third: sedatives on targets are kinda messed up. If you shoot a tranq at a target and kill them the body isnt found for instance, but any other accidental KO voids SA

Also another QoL feature i’d like is the ability to toggle on or off the autocrouch feature the game has or turn some holds into taps

Also some general mission issues: Sgail has a superenforcer who if you get caught by doing anything immediately blasts you and the Arcade Level 2 doesnt have its conditions as optional because it is a copy paste of the Disruptor’s level 2

So.

I’m of two minds about this Elusive Target.

On the one hand, the repurposing of the Disruptor mission is good from a preservation standpoint. There are people who will probably like the mission but it was tainted by Conor being there (I disliked the mission even outside that, it’s short, linear, and a bit boring), so it being a DLC is pretty good from that standpoint. So…why did you not also…remove all the Conor McGregor items too?

EDIT:


The ETA mission for Conor has disappeared!

The associated items should’ve been removed or reskinned and re-released later on. Hell, make it free to those who had that DLC as compensation.

Licensed Audio
We have updated the Licensed Audio option that, when enabled, swaps copyrighted music in various locations (including the Safehouse) with royalty free versions.

Oh good, that’s actually something I noted down on PCGamingWiki. Glad’s that now been resolved.

A Blast From The Past
A highly requested community feature now finds its way into HITMAN World of Assassination: There is now an option to change what music you hear on the main menu. You can choose between HITMAN 3 (2021), HITMAN 2 (2018), and HITMAN (2016) – all composed by Niels Bye Nielsen.

This threw me for a complete loop! Y’all want that old music? You got it my friends!

The Quinn Quandary
We have “robustified” the concept of Tim Quinn. Though he was previously Quantum Leap’s CEO, he himself is not a fourth dimensional being. His cameo appearances now match his picture found in Colorado’s Tornado Shelter. The (coincidental) imposter attending the party in Mendoza is in the process of being dealt with…

God, I could kiss you.

Fake Merchandise
Fixed an issue where the Manypass from the “Patient Zero: Requiem Pack” was flagged as an illegal item on Casual difficulty.

I’d recommend doing a sweep of items that get broken on casual mode, there’s quite a few like this, apparently.


EDIT: this originally made the mistake of thinking the dongle was a universal dongle for Chongqing. I have since retracted this.

It doesn’t do that. It’s a camera hacker.

I retract my objection. Thank you for the correction.

I think the items are all available if you get the footballers DLC

What is going on with Bowtie duck? It says we have to watch 007 but then it says: “Any streamer playing under the HITMAN World of Assassination category on Twitch is eligible for Twitch Drops.”. Sooo, what is it then? Do we have to watch 007, Hitman, or 007 on Hitman category somehow?

Arti has pinged it internally. We’ve just got to wait for it to be activated. :slight_smile:

The items are now part of the champion pack as bonus for the people who don’t have them. The McGregor Arcade is still available for people who own it, it’s just no longer visible for people who don’t. The challenge for the Arcade appears to have been removed even for people who own it.

Oh nice, that’s excellent news! Said this twice now, but thank you for the clarification.

Re the Bowtie Duck Drop: according to someone on reddit that appears to work for IOI:

Hey everyone - was supposed to be live, but some technical issues with the granting. We’re trying to solve or find another way to make the crossover Bowtie duck available. When we do, we’ll be sure to extend the availability time.

26 posts were merged into an existing topic: [Serious - TW: Sexual Assault] Conor McGregor (The Disruptor) verdict and presence in the game

Has anyone managed to get the “Bowtie duck”?
The period is quite short, only 5 days until June 10th, but for some reason I can’t find it in the rewards list on the Twitch site.

*postscript.

I see. So there are rumors of problems occurring. I’ll wait for further updates from IOI.

What a coincidence. Just yesterday, I was asked if I could write a concert review of Wiz Khalifa. I’m really looking forward to this release.

Little concerned about this one - it sounds like it’s just a graphical rework when it needs to be a proper remake. I’ve played C47 and its gameplay is extremely dated.

This was a waste of time imo it doesn’t make any sense keeping the disruptor mission in the game they should’ve just rehashed the pre existing mission and did the changes there and then players who had the mission already aren’t paying again for a reskin mission.

but advertising 3 elusive targets to come out throughout the year only for one to be a reskin is a major kick in the face and I see they didn’t listen to us about having these missions as special assignment type missions now either.

If io decide to change there mind and give people who already had paid they owe me back my money

I guess they’re wanting to avoid the situation where people could claim that they only purchased the content because of the original celebrity and wouldn’t have purchased it otherwise. Then it becomes a big to do about refunds and stuff.

Oh come on, why not? Does McGregor own copyright to green shorts and tacky coats?

When you think about it it kind of makes sense why they’ve done this now because they don’t want any new content taking away from 007 which unpopular opinion but I’m not bothered about that game I’ll buy it when it’s on sale or even on the ps store but it’s a shame for people like me who aren’t interested in 007 to have no new target mission and be promised a new celeb elusive target in spring to be a reskin this should’ve been like I said before what they did last roadmap where it’s the side elusive target content like 007 mission in Paris and then had your new mission be the main focus on the roadmap but I guess not now we have to wait til the end of summer probably to get the new mission

I feel like I could semi forgive io if they did a trailer for the next elusive target now like they did with the harbinger straight after Eminem’s release
