A new Hitman Go update adds missions based on one of the series’ greatest ‘hits’

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 update also adds cloud saving so you can maintain your progress between multiple devices. The update is now available in the iOS App Store and Google Play for Android devices. 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.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy feels like something special
Takumi in The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

Every so often, a game feels like it will be the breakout hit in a niche part of the video game space. Persona 5 revitalized a long-running RPG franchise and generally helped make unabashedly Japanese games feel cool again. Fire Emblem Awakening took a struggling strategy game franchise and reimagined it so successfully that Fire Emblem is now a marquee franchise for Nintendo. While The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is a new game not part of a long-running series, it's the culmination of the work of two niche yet beloved game developers.

Developer Kazutaka Kodaka is known for his work on the Danganronpa games; meanwhile, Kotaro Uchikoshi is known for directing the Zero Escape and AI: The Sominum Files series. Both of these developers' works have respectable fanbases but haven't gone mainstream in the same way something like Persona or Fire Emblem have. Now, the two are working together on a title for the first time at Too Kyo Games, and after speaking to them at GDC 2025 and playing the game for myself, this visual novel/tactics hybrid is shaping up to be a can't miss experience.
