Plus, the whole trilogy is coming to Game Pass.

Year Two starts on the 20th of January, one year to the day after it first launched.

This means its Epic Games Store exclusivity is up, so Hitman 3 will come to Steam.

That’s not the only new platform.

The whole trilogy will be available on Game Pass too, for both PC and Xbox.

Newness starts on that day too, with Elusive Target Arcade mode.

The original Elusive Targets proved controversial.

While the intent was to make them thrilling events, some players did not like missions being time-gated.

So, in Elusive Target Arcade, all the murders are permanent.

They’re larger too, with a chain of several targets to hit.

It’s inspired by roguelikelikes, with elements of randomisation and persistent progression.

The leader’s identity is random too, as is their dangerous backup.

Freelancer is due to arrive in spring.

Also coming later in Year Two is a new level, set… on a stormy tropical island?

That’s a decent amount of decent newness for a decent game.

As a trilogy, it is one of the most fun-loving games of the previous decade."
