IO Interactive has released the November Roadmap forHitman 2, and with it a huge amount of information for the anniversary of the game. Players looking for moreHitman 2content will be getting tons in November, but for players looking further into the franchises future, one line of the post may shine some light on where the company’s focus may be.
Previous posts from IOI have hinted atdevelopment ofHitman 3already taking place, along with other IPs and moreHitman 2content. So now, when the November update mentions “…we’re already looking at what’s to come next for theHitmanfranchise,” it all but confirms that development is currently underway for the next game in the rebooted series.

The new episodic series has been widely recognized as containing thebest games in theHitmanseries, with new content releasing on a regular basis for the latest title. This regular stream of content was the same strategy that IOI went with in 2016’sHitman, continuing untilHitman 2released in 2018. So it is likely that the next major installment (or season) will be coming sometime in 2020 to follow the trend set by the release windows of the earlier titles in the series.
As for what to expect for the impressive assassin simulator that isHitman 2, November will be a huge month for the game, with legacy content and new elusive targets dropping every week. IOI has already released the full catalogue of what’s to come in their latest post, but it plans on explaining the anniversary content more in-depth in Episode #9 of IOI Monthly. This could also be when IOI decides to give more information onHitman 3, along with more details onHitman 2’s plans for 2020.
It’s still early to speculate on the future of the franchise, considering the only information out at the moment is that development has made it as far as the planning stage. This could mean thatHitman 3could be coming in November, 2020 or even later, depending on how far development has already proceeded and how much IOI decides to split its focus betweenHitman 2and future games.
Hitman 2is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
