No it wouldn’t, and if it were, good.
I would prefer a new skin for the real fiberwire rather than earphones skin.
The fiberwire from Blood Money is really cool.
Re: Ducks
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there should be a green, proximity emetic duck.
Taser duck would operate like zap phone, and be too OP. The only possible way to give it the semblance of balance would be to make it a proximity taser.
Lethal duck, do we even have to entertain?
BUT… I kinda do look forward to Heisenberg’s post in two years when these become unlocks and he goes I TOLD YOU SO
Nice roadmap. I really hope The Oroborous ETA is the Undying three times, with different conditions to complete.
I would really love it is the second stage forces the player to use the pen “magic trick” and use The Undying Returns with the eyepatch model.
I’m wondering if the April 30 date for The Great Thief is incorrect. The other 2 challenges come out on the last Thursday of their respective month, and May 30 is the last Thursday in May. There’s ETs all through May but no challenge scheduled for then.
Honestly when I first saw the Season of Undying Roadmap in this forum, this was my immediate thought until further research showed it was legit.
I think the road map is very good.But i want to ask why is there no patch announcement on the roadmap? when can we update the new version of the game?
9 posts were merged into an existing topic: ICA Electrocution Phone removed from HITMAN 3
As per usual, probably a little bit before the shop starts selling the DLC or challenge get loaded.
But - they usually take an update at the last month within the roadmap span to cover this month and next two months last year. And they mentioned that a game update within this season so this might come in March only.
It will absolutely come in March. Likely just before The Undying goes live.
They need to add things like the Arcade contract and support for the new DLC pack for the launch date of it all. None of that is in the game at the moment.
I’ve thought that the last roadmap would last until early February. Which it turned to not be true.
Overall
I’m glad I’ve waited for the new roadmap. Early signs given by IOI during the last months did announce great contents for 2024.
And 2024 starts with a really heavy content: The Undying!
It’s not because it was Sean Bean, but because of the whole mission. The plot is great, the dialogues are intesresting, and the assassination opportunities are wonderful! Didn’t play this mission since Hitman 2.
It would be a great miss if this mission would never be incorporated in H3. Now, it’a a dream that comes true!
ETs
Return of ETs is expected since the Heartbreaker is currently live, and other ETs are on the line for the coming weeks.
Curated contracts
Also expected! Really like them as they propose another way to play Hitman rather than regular missions.
BEH
Not addressed the regular players as they probably already played this mission before, but a good start for new players.
Twitch Drop
Personally I don’t mind.
Challenges
Nice to see they add challenges proposed by players! The blue egg would be great as it sedates people “legally”
For the record, “oocyanin” (or oocyan) is a blue pigment that gives a blue color to eggs (the biologist teacher in me appreciates this kind of “easter egg” ).
The Undying Pack
With the recent “leak” of new safehouse cosmetics, I was sure a new DLC was on the run.
As a seasoned H3 player, I don’t mind paying few bucks for this DLC. Moreover, this pack includes several elements like new items (even though they are reskin of previous items), new safehouse decorations, and more importantly, the new ETA with the Undying included! I think this pack would be worth the charge.
Concerning the ETA (Oroborous), I do hope that the restrictions are not “restricted loadout”, in order to enjoy freely this mission without any constraints
Would be a good thing if the 1st stage is “the Undying” and the last one “the Undying returns” with Sean Bean and his eye patch
But I understand that for newcomers, the number of DLCs can frighten. If you want to buy all the packs (Deluxe, Trinity, S6, two cosmetics packs) alongside the game, it starts to be expensive.
Conclusion
A very good start for Hitman in 2024! The long-awaited Undying is coming back for our own guilty pleasure!
Great contents can be expected for 2024!
Hitman 3 progressively includes under one roof the different contents of the previous 2 games. Legacy escalations in a close future?
Can we imagine the same story with the Drop (a DLC with an ETA that includes the Drop with items alongside)?
Thank you IOI
I wouldn’t be against this, but not as a time-limited item attached to twitch.
Pruple is my favourite colour!
Nice to see a decent roadmap. I’ll admit I’m not that enthused about paying for another small DLC but I guess it was a necessity for getting Sean Bean back.
Wow! The Undying returns again. I certainly didn’t expect that. Real nice for new players who never played this contract. And ofcourse, for us veterans too.
I’m not so sure what to think of the rest of this roadmap. Its a positive thing IO still brings out content 4 years after release. I’m very grateful for that. However, 75% of the new unlocks are reskinned items which are in the game for years. The Undying suit is sweet and the sedative egg are new and those are neat! The rest is more of the same.
Good stuff for new players or veterans hungry for content. Thanks IO.
Everybody who asked for The Undying to come back (even if it they had to pay for it) better buy that fucking DLC! Don’t ask for shit, get it, and then not support it.
I’m not a huge fan of the reskinned unlocks, but otherwise, I’m probably going to buy it so I can kill Faba all the time. If nothing else so I can mod the ETA contract with a clear conscious.
Apologies to Urben for the skewed discussion btw.
I like the reskins since they’re referencing the poll for the Original Undying where people voted on whether they wanted the Explosive Pen, Lil’ Flashy, or the Earphones to be an unlock for the mission. I’m not sure why anyone voted for the earphones over the other two items that actually had unique functionality.
Also, I’m sure there’s some gameplay/contracts application to having three Explosive Pens and two Lil’ Flashies.
Oh I don’t doubt it, but it does kind of come as a bit disappointing when you already own the original versions.
I do appreciate the reference though.
This is my first ever roadmap since I joined hitman (I know, I joined late, don’t hate me) But this seems awesome! I personally am a person who likes collecting stuff in games, (I mean, I own TBOI and TF2 for Pete’s sake) so getting the Gold Bartoli and the burial dagger seems awsome. And being able to assasinate Sean bean is even cooler! I just hope I haven’t joined too late to this awsome game.
