Ready for it to not have a swapped pin, keeping the random obselete season 2 ET pin.
EDIT: they did! And made it theirs, with an elegant subdued ducky pin.
Thank you.
Amusingly: I donāt personally care for the suit. Still think itās neat though, and will gladly wear it.
(more of a gameplay wish player, LL, unique combination of properties itemsā¦)
I started asking for it during the Y4 lull.
Because it was an already made suit that I thought would be well received by the community.
And knew that swapping the pin would be even better received, and relatively quick to implement.
And since, it kinda became a litmus test for ādoes IOI careā.
The good news is, the lull already passed.
And I have moderate, but existing, thoughts that IOI cares.
They stopped using the ācheap suit modelā for unlock.
Pastel and Sangfroid are great unlocks.
The last 6 months have been relatively good.
So Iām happy to see it, ready for IOI to still have a hint of disappointment and miss a victory.
But by now, Iām already good.
Prepare for some āthe āIIā pin represents the split personality of Eminem and Slim Shadyā bs.
I am hoping the two new challenges actually unlock something that isnāt straight up silly.
Understood, Apricot unlock
(which still makes more sense than the Pinot Noir or Shaker unlocks)
Wow, I honestly did not see this one coming at all. Hokkaido Celeb ET was also not on the cards, thought it wouldāve been Haven or something.
Looking forward to what it entails, even though first glances definitely look like another big deviation from what is the normal formula! Also, Iām going to have skip to Hokkaido quickly so I can get my mastery level to 20 on Steam (since buying HITMAN on PC, Iāve been slowly mastering each location again) so I can play this ET properly without being locked out of equipment!
Didnāt @Urben once proposed it?
But with the twist that it would be 6 of them at once.
And we all kinda agreed that it would actually be interesting to play with.
Only three returning ETs, two of which are CelebrETs seemsā¦ a little odd though. The Sensation, The Food Critic and The Serial Killer havenāt been Year 5-ified yet. So two of them have apparently been completely cut from the year.
I suspect The Serial Killer is what will go live since there will have been no chance for players to get the Whittleton Creek suit this year otherwise.
It should also be noted that none of the twitch drops announced seems to be the one for the winner of the Speedrun competition.
(either a Blindfolded 47 Suit, or a loud Sieger)
Hoping there will be another ET galore for the Winter 2026 seasonā¦but yes, that is pretty weird that they decide only now to change the normal rerun formula. I know youāve kept us up to date on that for quite a while now, so we appreciate your efforts!
Yes!
EDIT: Eminem?! Wow nobody could have guessed that.
True! (hence why I think it makes more sense to add than either the Shaker or Pinot Noir, which appear to be universally agreed-upon as being pointless filler)
Ohh, wow. So its another celebrity team-up, but vs his alter-ego Slim Shady!
Hokkaido contract, cool
Sounds underwhelming honestly. Like CelebET sounds nice, but only two challanges? And two other CelebETās? Iām not really looking forward for it, especially if they give it some gimmick bs again.
Who the fuck thought that would be a good name for an explosive -_-
In game timer for The Undying Returns is active in game.
Will start tomorrow, November 21st, at 12.00 UTC.
No end date given at the time. Presumably 10 days, to finish just as the Eminem ET starts.
Why āDynamiteā instead of āStickā then?
It feels like something a 12 yo who just got out of their first English lesson would say.
Iām unsure how to feel about this Elusive Target. One side of me, is the Eminem fan from the early 2000ās. The other part of me is, I had enough of famous elusive targets. I fear this will enter meme territory and that it will dilute the brand.
I wish to see more Elusive Targets, targets that doesnāt exist outside our real world. On the other hand itās fun and easy to ignore. I donāt really see them as true ācanonā. More fun quicky what if. IO struck gold with the undying, it was a fun reference to Sean Bean and his talent for dying in films. But it walked a line where it was believable inside the Hitman universe. It was more āsubtleā, I one could even call it that.
I forgot play the Bruce Lee contacts, Iāll turn up for Eminem.
It wasnāt mentioned in the news, but will there be no rerelease of Elusive Target Galore in the fifth year either?
I really wanted to play the fifth-year ET that arrived before the Switch 2 release dateā¦
