Holy crap… never once saw that.
For such a 1 on 1 replica, it has to be on purpose, no?
ICA training, to being hunted by and teaching a practical lesson to the ICA.
(great find btw, it’s neat)
Map: Sapienza
Mission: World of Tomorrow
I was watching a Youtube video from Kotti (mastering Sapienza speedrun), I discovered that when 47 shoots the balance of the statue that is located by the icecream shop, some coins are dropping from it.
It’s not something I just found out, but I feel like it fits the theme of this thread. The golden frog everyone knows from The Greed Enumeration is actually from the Paris fountain, and placed in Santa Fortuna as a decoration at least once.
On the topic of the golden frog, the frog on The Devil’s Cane is actually the Lethal Poisonous Frog.
I found out there’s a walkway that puts you into the chawls in illusions of grandeur, near the laundry, but unfortunately it doesnt really matter since trespassing zones have been broken on this mission for years
WOW! I never even noticed this! pretty cool!
Just noticed today, when checking out my career statistics, I noticed the Safehouse/Freelancer mastery is positioned exactly where it should be in the timeline, set post Untouchable.
This is officially the only place we see it set in canon timeline order given Freelancer has its own hub on the main menu screen.
Ambrose Island is also in the correct timeline order under the Hitman 2 section as well
Unfortunately, not all of the original posts were actually archived. The user (Discendo Vox) didn’t transcribe the whiskey references (which allegedly had more pre-release information). So like 10% of the full thing is still lost media.
Okay, here’s a really interesting piece of most likely cut lore. When I was browsing page for Johnny Ong (who voices several NPC’s in Chongqing and Berlin, most notably Xiao Ming and Mannfred Messman), I’ve found this piece of dialogue:
If you listen to it, it appears to meant to be a Tren Po, son of Jin Po, Khandanyang’s dictator. This implies that Po was meant to appear in game at some point but was left out. If you want to listen to it, you can here:

Sounds like a phone call to someone at the Block in Chongqing. to take in some “processed” subjects of the mind control experiment.
A cut mission story maybe?
Plus in the lore Hush was from that country and fled so that wouldve been a cool tie-in
Dang, that’s a shame… A Khandanyang-related substory was something I sorely missed in Chongqing (among other stuff).
