The teams at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and IO Interactive has announced the addition of competitive multiplayer for Hitman 2. What is this new mode? Ghost Mode is a unique and brand-new take on 1-versus-1 online competition, putting players’ assassination skills to the ultimate test. Adding this idea and mode to the game sounds like a good idea to keep the game itself alive. For more information on Ghost Mode, see below.
Ghost Mode allows two players to compete against each other online, both as Agent 47, to assassinate the most targets in a match. At the start of each round, both players begin side-by-side and must race to take out the same targets faster and cleaner than their opponent, while utilizing weapons, items, outfits and ghost crate supply drops along the way to help accomplish the overall mission.
The unique twist with Ghost Mode in HITMAN 2 is that players will simultaneously hunt targets while in the same location and can see a “ghost” version of their rival gamer to track progress against their own, but they exist in separate realities unaffected by the actions of their adversary. In Ghost Mode, the player who can outsmart, outplay and outkill their opponent by eliminating five targets first, will declare victory.
You can expect quite a few of us here at Marooners’ Rock battling it out on who would be the best assassin. Please note, Ghost Mode will be available for the Miami location when Hitman 2 launches on November 13. Ghost Mode will subsequently become available for additional Hitman 2 locations, as well as other World of Assassination locations, post-launch.
