Given how much positive buzz Hitman 2 has been receiving, an accolades trailer was bound to arrive at some point. Now, developer Io Interactive has delivered and boy is it a fun trailer to watch. Hitman 2’s accolades trailer naturally includes praise from critics, but it also shows off just how ingenious Agent 47 is.
Hitman 2 Accolades Trailer
The Hitman 2 accolades trailer leans heavily into the game’s signature tagline: “Make the World Your Weapon.” Sure, Agent 47 can use firearms or explosives if he wants, but such basic assassination means are so vanilla. After all, why shoot your target when you can drop a boat on them from several stories up? Why blow your target up when kicking them off a cliff is just as effective (and much more quiet)?
Hitman 2’s expansive locations encourage players to explore and flex their creative kill muscles. As you can see in the accolades trailer, there’s a lot of potential for creativity. Whether you’re in sunny Miami or the jungles of Columbia, opportunities abound for the patient and cunning assassin. Not only can Agent 47 use virtually any household implement as a weapon, he’s also a master of disguise. This means that 47 can eliminate opponents from afar, or he can give them an up close and personal touch.
The accolades trailer also highlights Hitman 2’s two separate multiplayer modes. Along with Agent 47’s single-player exploits, there’s a single-player/co-op Sniper Assassin mode and a competitive 1v1 Ghost Mode. These multiplayer modes help in rounding out the complete Hitman 2 experience, as does the Hitman Legacy Pack. The Legacy Pack includes remastered versions of the six locations from 2016’s Hitman, fully playable in Hitman 2.
If you want to really complete your Hitman 2 experience, you can purchase the optional Expansion Pass. Either way, the accolades trailer proves that Agent 47 has never looked better doing what he does best.
