Hitman Go has received a new mission box inspired by the “St. Petersburg Stakeout” from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Square Enix announced on the Hitman blog.

Based on the success of the previous mission box inspired by the fan-favorite “Curtains Down” from Hitman: Blood Money, the developers wanted to try another set of levels taking on a classic mission from the series. The eight new levels set in snowy Varosnij Square bring the grand total of board game-like puzzles in Hitman G0 to 91. You can unlock the levels either by completing 140 mission objectives from previous levels or by buying the mission box outright for $1.

The game is on sale until October 29, 2014 to mark the occasion, costing only $2 until then. The post also mentions that Hitman: Sniper, the mobile followup to Go that was announced at E3, will be launching soon.

When you look at the best PlayStation 5 games, or even a list of the best video games of all time, odds are you will see at least one game from developer Naughty Dog. Our list of upcoming video games was already stacked prior to The Game Awards 2024, but the last announcement of the night added one more to the list that might beat out other heavy hitters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine. As this is coming from Naughty Dog, this is already one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 game, but others might need more convincing. We took out a bounty on all the information there is on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and this is what we came up with.

If you don't have a PS5, there are plenty of upcoming Xbox Series X, upcoming PC, and upcoming Switch games, too.
