Hitman 2’s January Roadmap Includes Third Elusive Target

Io Interactive has unveiled a January content roadmap for Hitman 2 which includes new Escalation Contracts, Featured Contracts, and more. January is also when players can attempt the game’s third Elusive Target in the Isle of Sgail. Read on for the full breakdown of new January content additions for Hitman 2.

Hitman 2 January Content Roadmap

As of this writing, the first January addition for Hitman 2 is already live. Players can attempt The BigMooney Flamboyancy, an Escalation Contract designed by Hitman community member The Big Mooney.

The next two content additions arrive on January 10. A new series of Featured Contracts called ‘Desperate Measures’ tasks players with using the Fiber Wire and Measuring Tape tools. Here’s Io’s official description for the Desperate Measures challenge set:

“For January we’ve picked 10 Featured Contracts to be added to the game. All Featured Contracts are created by members of the community and then added to the game for all players to enjoy. For Hitman 2, we will pick our Featured Contracts based on themes – this time around the theme is ‘Fiberwire // Measuring tape’ and we call it “Desperate Measures”, as all contracts are focused on fiber wire and/or measuring tape kills.”

There’s also a series of six new ‘Fishy Business’ challenges for Hitman 2’s Miami location. We’re guessing those latter challenges involve a certain water-based implement, but Io is staying mum for the time being.

Hitman 2 Third Elusive Target

A second Escalation Contract called The Marinello Motivation brings players to the Isle of Sgail on January 17. The Isle of Sgail is also where the third Elusive Target will be based when she arrives on January 24. The third target is known as The Appraiser and players will have 10 days to find and eliminate her. Successfully eliminating The Appraiser unlocks the Tuxedo and Mask with gloves suit for permanent use.

Lastly, Io will be hosting a pair of livestreams during the month of January. The First livestream will be held on January 11 and the second on January 25. Both livestreams can be watched via Io’s official Twitch and Mixer pages.

In other Hitman news, Io is also remastering two classic Hitman games for the Hitman HD Enhanced Collection. Also, if you need to brush up on your Hitman 2 skills, we’ve got plenty of challenge guides. For example, this guide walks you through the Raking it in Whittleton Creek challenge.
