** Even if the player avoids doing all that, the ForcedTutorial version of the Jasper Knight training mission forces the player to [[spoiler:trick "Knight" into activating a fighter jet ejector seat that blasts him [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat THROUGH a hangar roof and off into the sky]]]]. The actors even break character for a minute and call 47 a "crazy bastard". 47 and Diana just straight up murdered an ICA employee for real and [[WhatAnIdiot the ICA hires them anyway while Soder takes the fall]].

* GentlemanThief: Kalvin Ritter.

* InformationBroker: The targets of the Paris mission, Viktor Novikov and Dalia Margolis, are the ringleaders of IAGO, an organization that sells classified information for nefarious purposes. Their dealings have allowed Crimean terrorists to meltdown a nuclear plant and drug lords to assassinate a president. During the mission, they are auctioning off a list containing the identities of British undercover agents to the highest bidder.

* TheWoobie: To an extent, Sebastian Sato. He clearly does not like the designs he has to create for Sanguine, and is only there because Novikov threatens to 'end him' if he does not comply. And while he is a bit of a LargeHam prima donna (as you can tell if you spend even a second backstage during the fashion show), his speech after the show shows his anger at being having to make and take credit for work that he personally detests. On the other hand, a number of challenges involve killing him as well, so he may be more TheChewToy.

* TagLine: "Enter A World Of Assassination"

* DarkIsNotEvil: Helmut Kruger is dressed in black and has black makeup, and is seemingly working with IAGO and Dalia Margolis, so you'd be forgiven for thinking he's an evil character. However, tailing him (typically as the Sheikh) seems to reveal that he's in way over his head, and he has his own personal OhCrap moment after speaking to Dalia.

* HaveYouComeToGloat: Sort of. Fashion magazine editor Valerie St. Clair, an [[Expy]] for Anna Wintour, meets Novikov after the fashion show, and gloats about her knowledge regarding the auction and how 'he's finished' - Novikov is spooked regarding this, and wants to pay her off in order to keep her quiet. YMMV as to whether she knows that Novikov is going to die.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: One of the Feats in the Paris level is killing both Margolis and Novikov in one fell swoop by [[https://youtu.be/lv9-pbT7utg?t=11m42s pushing the former off a balcony ''onto'' the latter.]]

* GrievousHarmWithABody: One of the Feats in the Paris level is killing both Margolis and Novikov in one fell swoop by pushing the former off a balcony ''onto'' the latter.

* CelebrityResemblance: The star of the Paris Sanguine fashion show is Helmut Kruger, a bald fashion model whose face looks almost identical to 47's, which a fan even lampshades. Helmut is scheduled to meet with Dalia Margoulis. [[MuggedForDisguise You know where this is going]].

* GrievousHarmWithABody: One of the Feats in the Paris level is killing both Margoulis and Novikov in one fell swoop by pushing the former off a balcony ''onto'' the latter.

The game takes an episodic approach, with the missions being released monthly. The "Intro Pack" was released on 11 March 2016, featuring two tutorial missions focused on 47's initiation into the Agency and the Paris level. Other forthcoming locations are Marrakesh, Morroco; Sapienza, Italy; Thailand; the U.S. and Japan.

Not much is known of the plot aside from the fact that it takes place after the events of ''Absolution'' and returns to the formula of 47 going around the world performing hits on high-profile targets.

* RevisitingTheRoots: In contrast to the divisive ActionizedSequel that is Absolution, the game plays more like Blood Money though features like the Instinct mode still remain (albeit altered to simply let you see through walls and highlight interactible objects).
