Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the second entry in the Hitman series, putting players once again in the role of Agent 47, a genetically engineered contract killer. Blending stealth, disguise-based infiltration, and precision assassination, the game offers a mix of careful planning and deadly execution.

Unlike the first game, Silent Assassin introduces a stronger emphasis on multiple play styles — rewarding players for completing missions without being detected or killing unnecessary targets, while still allowing for action-heavy approaches if things go wrong.
