Summer (2025) Roadmap Speculation

Just another one of those speculation roadmap threads to keep us busy and occupied! :wink:

So, as Summer is almost upon us and we eagerly await the news for the next roadmap drop, which is most certainly going to be Summer themed, what do we all expect or hope to see included in the roadmap?

Discuss below your potential ideas below!! :slightly_smiling_face: :cocktail_glass: :sun:

All things considered, it wouldn’t be smart for IOI to make a new CelebET, but I have the feeling that this will happen.
Aside from that probably just more reskins.

I am all for another famous chap playing an ET.
I just like an ET concept. New ones much better than countless rerun of existing

I just want fixes at this point. Fixes and some of the things we’ve been asking for since the beginning, like a proper permanent access to ETs and real offline accessibility for all game modes. I honestly don’t give a fuck if we never get anything else for this game again, just fix all the issues and give us those things. Anything else is just gravy.

Considering they announced at the end of a livestream at the start of the year that a new CelebrET is coming, its a pretty safe guess one is coming. Unless they decide to axe the scheme and don’t go ahead with it.

I assume that their original plan for it was the Summer roadmap so that it wouldn’t be caught up in the GTA 6 mayhem in the Fall - but they could push it back now if they needed to since GTA 6 isn’t coming until next year now.

Currently only the PS5 version has a lot of extra problems.
I hope these PS5 glitches will be fixed in the next roadmap.
Personally, I would like to see events reminiscent of summer vacations in hot countries like Sapienza and Haven Island.
It would be fun to see a challenge to add summer-inspired suits such as “a swimsuit with a snorkel and an oxygen tank with a duck painted on it” or “a sun visor, sunglasses T-shirt and shorts suit.”
It would also be fun to implement ”tomatoes” as a temporary down item that creates a pool of blood at the feet when bumped, reminiscent of “La Tomatina”.

My hopes in order from what I think is least to most likely:

  • Proper Offline Mode - Making everything but the contracts available offline, as there’s no reason why any of the other stuff should be gated behind online. Especially on the Switch 2 whose whole deal is portability.
  • The New Disruptor - reworking the mission so it isn’t portrayed by a proven POS, and making it so that the relevant items, ET Arcade, and stuff in Freelancer are accessible to all.
  • Return of all the cut challenges and escalations - preferably with making 2016’s escalations three levels.
  • Making exclusive/unused items available to unlock everywhere - Blue/Black/Green Streak Suits, Black Winter Suit, Solstice Suit, the three Aluminum Travel Briefcases, ICA Performance/Service Coins
  • Hitman World of Assassination Signature Edition - Rebranding the game on all platforms to be like the Switch 2 version, where for $60 you get access to all of the DLC. No Sapienza Edition, No WoA Part One, No separate Standard and Deluxe Editions, but a simple and unconfusing way to get access to everything the games have to offer.
  • Challenges added to permanently unlock some of the older Twitch Drops.
  • A new Celeb ET - hopefully on a map that’s only had 0 or 1. A dark horse map I think could be interesting with a high effort ET that changes things is Santa Fortuna.
  • My suggestions for a Purple Flamingo Suit or Purple Sieker to get added as new Twitch Drops.

I do hope at least an answer about that: even though it’s simple as “we’re working on it”, “not on our list”, or “coming soon but don’t know yet when”… As I’ve stated several times before, I don’t care about the content of the answer, I do care about having an answer.

Other thing I hope is bug fixing.

But coming back to the thread, I unfortunately don’t expect much than previous roadmaps:

  • ET runs.
  • Featured Contracts
  • One or two challenges with swapped-colored items.

Yes, my expectations are very low, but that way, I won’t be disappointed.

Same. Especially after the “wtf?” unlocks they put on the current roadmap - that I’m really not expecting anything of any value.

Probably give us a Purple Pinot Noir bottle as the next Twitch Drop too or something else that is completely useless.

It’s like unfulfilling dream

Unfortunately, even with my expectations low, I’m still disappointed. Not because even my low expectations failed to be met, but because the point of low expectations is for that which you are expecting to turn out better than what you were expecting. And since that hasn’t been happening lately, I’m still disappointed.

Offline’s not going to happen.

Fix bugs.

It needs to happen. This game isn’t going to run on active servers forever. A fully offline mode needs to happen.

Well yeah, i mean with no offline, the game is a good as a beer coaster.

Have you been offline before? You have VR and story mode. That’s it.

No challenges, no inventory, no freelancer, no contracts, no ETs, no stats or player experience.

We paid good merces supporting IOI so that would be effectively killing the game and i’m even wondering if that’s legal…?

It does need to happen. And also, it won’t, not for a long while.

So long as it happens. It’s one of the only things left that matters about the game.
