Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza is vandaag verschenen en om de game klaar te maken voor deze nieuwe content heeft IO Interactive update 1.04 uitgebracht. Inmiddels is ook de changelog bekendgemaakt en vanzelfsprekend hebben we alle details hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet.

Korte samenvatting; de laadtijden zijn ingekort, er is een optie tot reconnecten en de game zou na deze update een stuk stabieler moeten functioneren.

Reconnect Option

  • If a player is playing in online mode and gets disconnected during gameplay, they will have the option to immediately reconnect and resume play without losing any progress, instead of returning to the main menu.

Immediate Challenge Awards

  • Challenges are now awarded and saved immediately upon completion, rather than when completing a mission.

Loading Times

  • Significant improvements to load and restart times across all locations. (Reduced by approximately 50% on PS4 and Xbox One)

Challenge Verbosity Settings

  • Players can now choose between three options for how challenge descriptions are displayed in the game menu:
  • Full: All Challenge information is shown.
  • Minimal: Only the image and name of the Challenge are shown
  • Off: Only the image of the Challenge is shown.

Weapon HUD Settings

  • Added three options for displaying the holstered/equipped weapon icon:
  • Full: Show weapon HUD for equipped and holstered weapon.
  • Minimal: Show weapon HUD only for equipped weapon.
  • Off: Don’t show weapon HUD.

Immediate Intel

  • Added an option for players to access the intel menu immediately after finding new intel.

Dropped Items

  • Disguises, weapons and items that are dropped are now shown on the in-game map.

Holstering animation

  • Added an animation for 47 holstering a small item, such as a pistol.

Escalation Contracts Improvements

  • The list of complications and objectives are now viewable during gameplay and the planning phase.
  • Players can now easily see from the in-game menu how many stages of each Escalation Contract they have completed. (e.g 3/5)
