Year 5 (2025) Speculation

@TheChicken

Console mods support… we neeeeed console mods…

Or, IOI could just make changes to how things should be.

I’d like Valentine’s Day Safehouse Decorations, but I realize that out of all international Holidays, that might be the least likely

Haha I have seen this come up before. I guess it’s a possibility, but I’d have thought we’re more likely to get the Easter and Halloween ones first as they’re already in the files. Then again, the Chinese New Year decorations came with this recent patch alongside the Xmas decorations, so I guess we could get them in the future.

[Arab]

We should’ve been given a sleigh for the vehicles in the safehouse and the possibility to play Christmas music, the tree was nice though

[Bardachenko]

Maybe I’m going against the most of you, but I don’t care about silly decorations in the Safehouse or useless coins. I want new missions.

[Heisenberg]

I want all of the above.

[Grim47]

itd be cool if every new holiday decoration had an exclusive item that you could get from using it, but to balance it the item only is pickupable/respawns on the holiday

i think they should do that for the Silver Baller that you get at the back of the shed. kinda sucks you can only get it once

btw i kinda want to make a Fallenges (Fan-challenges) page on the wiki along with a CelebrET page to keep track of this new content that keeps coming out

[Joe9411]

Yes i already did almost the same day, but for these past two livestreams i didn’t activate the notifications for subscribers because i thought that wasn’t necessary, and also because youtube doesn’t let me to do more than 3 notifications in a day. From the next ioi livestream, unless there is new content, livestreams will be notified to subscribers as usual.

@LocoGamingRocker

I’d like Valentine’s Day Safehouse Decorations

And then put a box of diapers in a garage shelf on November 14th.

Yeah, probably doesn’t sound funny if you don’t work in retail or haven’t noticed/been told yet, but stores miraculously have huge diaper sales in the middle of November. At least here in Germany.

That aside, tArGeT sUiTs, PlEaSe?
Add challenges that make us kill targets in every possible way (accident, headshot, melee and so on) to make it not too easy.

@Bardachenko

I want new missions.

Doubt it’s going to happen this late in the games life cycle, but I guess you never know.

Also, never discriminate against the Safehouse decorations!!

[Bardachenko]

@Lewisnic1

Doubt it’s going to happen this late in the games life cycle, but I guess you never know.

Not new maps, because I understand that it’s impossible. But I think that new missions in already existing ones are possible. Even using cut content

I like that this thread is called speculation but CombatGlue and Maartje actually read what we post on this forum so this thread is actually “wish for things that IOI might actually make and you might see them in year 5”.

@Axwage

I do expect the green egg will be unlocked sometime (probably at Easter), considering the question of power creep is behind us now and the green grenade and durian are available.

…no it’s still very much in question, and will always be in question. Balance concerns don’t magically go away the more time passes, it just makes the problems more glaring.

@Axwage

You know despite not wanting a red egg insta-poison throwable kill, I do want them to un-nerf the Molotov and bring it back to its initial properties.

I don’t. Throwing a molotov at someone is not an accident, even in Freelancer. Yes, a molotov would be more justifiable in Freelancer, where S/A is not strictly required, but that doesn’t escape the fact that it looks stupid and it was inconsistent as all hell to get kills with if you threw it.

@Axwage

I also equally want a “straight to Freelancer” button in the UI so that it doesn’t take 3 clicks or whatever.

Heritage UI has this, and it is a GODSEND!

@Grim47

Sticky Breaching Charge and other sticky explosives. Essentially explosives that when you throw at a wall instead of rolling or falling they stick immediately to the surface

On the one hand, this would supersede needing to place-and-hold explosives, which kinda ruins the nuance of the game a bit. On the other hand, this isn’t a particularly bad idea either. You can see the bind I’m in.

–

As for my thoughts; i’ll just refer you to my wishlist… (Freelancer improvements, Offline Mode rework, Permanent ET’s and Cross-platform leaderboards/ TRUE cross-saving.)

[Grim47]

What I mean is the challenges that have went into the game that fans have suggested. Maybe this should be an article called “post-launch challenges” and and just list all of them but specifically namecheck the people who made the challenges from IOI to the fans

[Lewisnic1]

@Switcher

I like that this thread is called speculation but CombatGlue and Maartje actually read what we post on this forum so this thread is actually “wish for things that IOI might actually make and you might see them in year 5”.

Yeah IOI is always watching our feedback. Prime example, a load of us have campaigned for the Seasonal Safehouse decorations for months and out of nowhere, the Xmas ones get included in the recent game update for free!!

Awesome stuff!!

[Igonin]

Free? No way, there was a hidden price, broken Miami and ghost doflamingo npcs and suits.

[Franz]

Since this is turning into a wishlist:

I would like an inventory tab for the stuff you haven’t unlocked yet, with a mention of the mission/map where you can unlock it.

I just unlocked the Christmas sweater that I forgot existed and was made aware of the Spooky Fan suit being available on this forum. Would be good to have these pointers in-game. I’m a long time fan but can’t keep up with all the updates all the time.

(Yes, I know you can filter on non-completed challenges but those are organized by mission/map, so quite tedious to go through)

[magicdave94]

With the anniversary (which Samir has mentioned a couple times now so there will be something for it I’m sure) I wonder if we might see some more throwback outfits, items and escalations as a second deluxe pack - or as a free content update, but I’ll happily buy it.

That is a pretty damn cool idea!!!

[Grim47]

I want a Five Fathers mission pack!

[Bardachenko]

For the anniversary, it would be nice a pack of

• suits of the some targets or characters (Zavarotko, Lee Hong, the horrible suit of Ivan Zilvanovich, Boris of C47 and of Contracts, Birdie, Edward, crow suit in yellow, red and black versions in BM, Blake Dexter, Netherland journalist of Contracts, Hayamoto junior and senior suits, Blue Lotus suit, )
• Some cut suits, like the of of the first images of C47
  
  
• Past starter suits: Colombia C47, Afghanistan, Gontranno, priest suit of Absolution, Waikiki suit, and those suits purchasable in Absolution (for example the Deus Ex suits)
• Missions with historical secondary characters as targets (Corky the Clown, Rex Stanton for example) ore even unseen characters used in promotional materials (I remember there were in Absolution). It could be a cool tribute for celebrate Hitman history
• Another cool tribute to Hitman history could be a bonus mission called “Danish criminals in Japan” (it was an easter egg of Hitman 2 and if I’m not wrong, they’re some developer)
  
  
• Why not to transform, for the next Christmas, the old Hitman 2 Christman Game in a cute sniper mission?
