Pre-order boni are widespread in the gaming industry. From cosmetic in-game items, to early game access, publishers try all kinds of methods to entice users to pay in advance. As such, Warner Bros. Games also added a pre-order incentive when the publisher unveiled Hitman 2 at E3 this June. Users who pre-order Hitman get instant access to Hitman: Sniper Assassin. Much more than usual pre-order rewards, this is a full game on its own right. A Co-Op mini-game of sorts, giving early buyers the chance to play a highscore-oriented sniping level.
The top scoring, with top scoring Agents across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam each eligible to win the grand prize of getting their name and likeness added to the game in future HITMAN™ 2 content. Starting today, players can participate by pre-ordering HITMAN™ 2 and downloading the new standalone Sniper Assassin mode, which is a free early access bonus that is available to play now.
