Hitman 2 confirmed: Agent 47 returns in November

The 2016 Hitman reboot is getting a direct sequel called Hitman 2 that launches in November. Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced the sequel in partnership with developer IO Interactive during a livestream ahead of next week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).

WB began teasing the game this week with glimpses of something that, at first, looked like a racing game. But the fast cars seen in that WB Games tweet serve as the backdrop in one of the new levels in Hitman 2. According to the trailer, Agent 47 — who returns as the game’s hero — will have a chance to sabotage a vehicle, impersonate a driver, and get into all sorts of other mayhem as part of his mission to eliminate his targets.
