Hitman 2 will get a new competitive 1v1 Ghost Mode

Hitman 2 will have an all-new way to play the game. The Ghost Mode is a 1v1 format, where you and another player try to eliminate the same target for one point. Once that’s done, you both move on to the next one, with the first player to score five points wins the game.

This new mode of gameplay comes in addition to Sniper Assassin mode, a standalone feature that brings a co-op experience to the Hitman series for the first time, allowing two players to work together online to take down their targets. Sniper Assassin can also be enjoyed in a single player mode for those who want to play as Agent 47. Sniper Assassin is available to play now as an early access bonus for consumers who pre-order the Hitman 2 Standard, Silver, Gold or Collector’s Edition.

Hitman 2 takes players on a global adventure across a mix of bustling international locations, including a vibrant Miami setting with the colorful ambiance of an in-progress motorsport race bringing a new backdrop to the series. From sun-drenched streets to dark and dangerous rainforests, each intricate location provides multiple paths to discover and unparalleled game depth.

However, when 47 learns the hidden truth about his past, nothing will ever be the same.

As an additional pre-order bonus, full game early access will be available for Gold or Collector’s Edition owners four days before release.

For everyone else, Hitman 2 will be available on November 13th.

LEGO DC Super-Villains launch trailer debuts

With the heroes gone, the bad guys have run amock, and you can help them do so in the new LEGO DC Super-Villains trailer. While it features all the usual suspects like Joker, Lex Luthor, and Mr. Freeze, the trailer shows you that you can create a super-villain all your own — a first for the LEGO series. Now, you can contribute to the chaos and destruction all around you in a creation all your own. You can check out the trailer in the post below!

In LEGO DC Super-Villains, the Justice League has disappeared, leaving Earth’s protection to a newcomer group of heroes from a parallel universe, proclaiming themselves as the ‘Justice Syndicate’. Renowned DC Super-Villains from the ‘Legion Of Doom’ discover Earth’s newest heroes may not be the heroes they claim to be. With each player’s completely customizable Super-Villain character in command, this team of misfit lawbreakers must join forces to discover and foil the evil plans the incognito strangers have in store.

At the beginning of the campaign, players can create their own unique villain and main character throughout, while also teaming up with a variety of DC Super-Villains throughout the story mode. As players progress, they will unlock new abilities, powers and can continue to customize their character to take on the evil threat. Friends and family can join story mode at any time with the fun, two-player, local co-op experiences where players can team up in epic boss fights.

A Deluxe Edition of the game, featuring the main game content, Season Pass content and early access to the DC Super-Villains: TV Series DLC Character Pack, is now available for pre-order. An exclusive LEGO minifigure, Lex Luthor Superman, also comes with the physical version of the Deluxe Edition, while digital consumers will receive the Justice League Dark DLC Character Pack with their Deluxe Edition.

LEGO DC Super-Villains will be available October 16 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
