Celebrate the Winter season at the HITMAN 2 Snow Festival in Hokkaido and throw snowballs at your target in a new mission!

The Snow Festival is a free seasonal event for new and existing HITMAN 2 players that includes a new mission in Hokkaido, a new target, the Snow Master Challenge Pack, themed items (including a snowball!) and two new unlocks that can be permanently added to your inventory.

The Snow Festival will be available from January 22nd through February 12 and you’ll need to complete the mission to unlock the Snow Festival Suit and complete all 7 challenges to unlock the lethal Icepick.

The new mission takes place at a freshly decorated Hokkaido location, where your target is Dmitri Fedorov, a former arms dealer with a military past and a degree in structural engineering. Following a failed military career, Dmitri recently survived an explosion at one of his infamously unsafe fireworks factories and is now in recovery at the Hokkaido GAMA Facility, waiting to cash in on the insurance.

Unfortunately, 26 of his employees did not survive and the employees who did survive want to make sure that Dmitri doesn’t cash in on anything…
