10 Biggest Video Game Bombs Of 2018
6. Hitman 2
Why do the great games not get the attention they truly deserve?
That's right everyone, Hitman 2, one of the best games of the year, is also one of the most likely to bomb. Despite improving on an already amazing formula, the Hitman series has never quite been able to capture the huge audience that it deserves.
It almost seems like kicking a man whilst he's down to have Hitman 2 not sell well, as the series was already dropped by Square Enix last year for not selling enough copies. The problem is that as long as the game is delivering what fans want (which is fairly niche) it's not being mainstream enough.
Despite only being available for less than a month, Hitman 2 is already receiving a ton of discounts and deals, which is a sure sign that it isn't selling as well as it needs to. In fact, Hitman 2 sales are reportedly down by 90% from the best-selling game in the series, Hitman Absolution. Yikes.
At this point it's looking doubtful that we'll see another adventure starring the bald menace.
