At this point I honestly feel like hoping for that is like urinating into the wind and hoping you don’t get wet.

At the very least I hope they make the suits unlockable through the arcade. It would be very douchey to punish players for not buying the game early. For a FTP game I’d get it, but for a singleplayer only game it makes no sense to do such a thing.

Kinda had a similar “huh?” Moment when I finished the Codename 47 challenges recently.
Some fights got so chaotic with me using lock-on object throwing, I ended up throwing lots of crowbars and that one filigree egg at a guard without realizing it.
I definitely went “Huh?” since I knew I either shot or threw something at every person on-board. But I forgot I used blunt objects on some people and they got lost in the crowd of death.
Ah well, made me even more ticked off in my second rampage

I legit can’t get to bed tonight cause I’m trying to do the math of the ET Galore in my head and can’t seem to get it to work out. It’s 53 days long according to the roadmap, and there have been 61 ETs overall in Hitman 3. There were 16 in Year 1, 22 in Year 2, and 23 in Year 3. No matter what combinations I try I can’t seem to get it to make sense:
- Only considering certain Years doesn’t work
- Counting 52 days in case the end date doesn’t count still doesn’t make the numbers fit.
- Only counting 43 days doesn’t work either (assuming a standard 10-day length so the final one actually begins on Feb. 2nd).
- There have been 37 total ET missions made across the trilogy (not counting Wildcard/Undying and Congressman/Guru) even if they did every one it still doesn’t make sense.
There are also some possibilities I’ve thought of which make a bit more sense but still don’t seem like they’re totally correct:
-
Having some days where multiple ETs are activated can make the numbers fit, but there isn’t any clear pattern as to when or which ETs to do on the same day.
-
If ETs are only ran once a week on Fridays with the standard 10-day length, there’s enough room for 7 ETs which is enough for every Hitman 3 ET besides The Drop. However, I don’t think they’d do just the Hitman 3 ETs since they’re the least important in terms of suit unlocks.
-
If I don’t count any duplicate ETs which show up in multiple years, as well as don’t count The Drop, there have been 26 unique ET missions. Also not counting the end date, that gives 52 days which is enough for a new ET every 2 days. A throwback to how long ETs were originally active when they were introduced in Hitman 2016? Maybe, but I don’t think they’d rerun only some ETs from a certain year and not all of them.
Oh well, in 3 weeks (or maybe even sooner since they said “more info coming shortly”) the mystery will be revealed. Now that I’ve vented maybe I can finally get to sleep!

I love the HITMAN series and have completed the highest difficulty levels from codename47 to HITMAN WoA.
I have enjoyed the various disguises throughout the series, but the one that has impressed me the most throughout the past titles is the “chipmunk” getup.
The sight of him rampaging through Chinatown with a Japanese sword was impressive.
Speaking of stuffed animals, I can only think of the stuffed flamingo in “HITMAN WoA,” but I think a stuffed chipmunk or even better, a stuffed bird should have existed.
With the announcement of the winter roadmap, there may be no more suits to add, but hopefully they will be brought back as a stuffed animal slot.

Elusive Target Galore stretches into February. I don’t expect anything else (other than what’s on roadmaps of course) until then.

Do recall the production schedule from Spring listed it as Year 2 reactivations. I expect that to be the case, with overlapping ETs running like they did at the end of Year 2.

“Congratulaions” - they either need to hire a proofreader, or fire the current one

I am available to proofread all of IOI’s copy.
For heaven’s sake is it Hardcore Mode or Hardcore-Mode???

I feel like I shouldn’t tell you that the game switches between “Merces” and “Mercers” for the spelling of the Freelancer currency then…

You can’t expect a multimillion dollar company like IO to hire someone to proofread everything.

Except this is a Winter Roadmap and winter extends to March 20th so I think we should count on no more roadmaps until then and that’s if we’re lucky.
The future success of IOI is dependent on Project 007, which was lucky enough to receive the exclusive opportunity to build a new video game franchise on the iconic James Bond.
Like Insomniac Spiderman, Project 007 will be a series of video games and/or live service game with updates.
There is no financial incentive for IOI to invest resources to Hitman now, except for fan service of the 5% to 10% of the diehards who are still playing the game. You know when there are changing priorities when there is no formal community service manager for Hitman, replacing Clemens after he left or was let go.

I didn’t know that the “HITMAN World of Assassination Deluxe Edition”, which includes the game and DLC, is now on sale at various stores since December 5.
I don’t believe there was any information about this on the winter roadmap.
Don’t expect too much, but the winter roadmap may still have some surprise additions.

I don’t think they ever announce sales in roadmaps I don’t think any game does that may be wrong

Admittedly, information about new game packages may not be suitable as roadmap information.
I was surprised by this sudden addition, so I just had to write it down.

Well, the current Winter roadmap only provides content until 12th Feb 2024, that being Elusive Target Galore, so I expect we’ll get the next roadmap or further details on potential Year 4 content shortly after that.
We’ll have to wait and see what the next few months bring. IOI have obviously taken into account the success of Hitman III because they’ve given us Freelancer this year and a ton of new content. Not to mention, this is the most successful Hitman game of all time, so I wouldn’t have thought IOI would just close off the game without giving us some type of final roadmap. I understand they’re focusing on Bond, but I’m assuming there is still a team supporting Hitman.

in the uk they usually come out at 1pm so in America that would be 5 hours earlier so 8am and Germany is 1 hour ahead of uk time so if I’m correct about the timing it’s 1pm uk 8am usa and 2pm Germany I don’t know other time zones so you could use these to convert them to your time zone with google or something
