Every Major E3 2018 Video Game Coming This Year

3. Hitman 2

Release Date: Nov. 13th

It's going to be very easy for this to slip under the radar. Hitman 2 - or Hitman's "second season" - didn't even get a spot at any major conference, yet if the first batch of levels was anything to go off, it'll be one of the games of the year.

Right now, IO Interactive have actually split from Square Enix, yet they retained the Hitman IP. It creates a situation where they're almost an indie dev controlling a triple-A property - something that means they likely can't afford stratospheric marketing budgets, instead relying on word of mouth to create buzz and visibility.

For my part, season 1 of Hitman was easily the best entry in the franchise. Levels were jaw-droppingly expansive, graphics and presentation was stunning, and the amount of ways you can kill targets felt endless.

Honestly, this deserves so much more buzz - here's to Hitman 2 getting the love it deserves.
