Holiday Hoarders Christmas Surprise

[Aero]

Hello all. How do we feel about the Christmas Surprise being Holiday Hoarders from Season 1?

I have to admit, I was really hoping for a Christmas based level within Whittleton Creek...

This part makes me nervous. "Holiday items are usable in the Holiday Hoarders mission only."

If it's Holiday Hoarders (available permanently) with the Santa Suit and other unlocks that will be available everywhere, I'd be alright with that. Anything extra would be nice, of course.

If it's less than that, I will be pretty disappointed.

A free recycled level is better than nothing. I didn't get my hopes up because I expected it.

That would have been awesome! Whittleton Creek with christmas theme!
Could easily be with Home Alone references again!

Also not Hitman 2 content. I suspect "Holiday Hoarders" for everyone (free trial announcment, also not a suprise) and something special for the people that actually own Hitman 2... Christmas in Mumbai, perhaps the SANTA of Fortuna, or maybe there will be snow in Miami for the second time of 2018 (yes, it was so cold Miami had snowfall), or what we all want, Isle of Sgail as Santa's Workshop...

That would be fun but I wouldn't hold my breath. But maybe the existing mission has been modified somehow

The Santa of Fortuna :D pretty nice

With snowy coca fields... okay now I want it to happen.

I also did, recycling Holiday Hoarders three years in a row is not surprising, just a small marketing trick for those who do not own Hitman at all (1 or 2), it would be nice if IOI would actually present something new for those who own the complete game.

Just re-read the announcement:
December 18 – Surprise!
A time-limited holiday surprise awaits you on December 18 for a limited time…

The double use of time limit/limited time...

Were getting a holiday themed Sniper Map. It's the only mode of the game that's "time limited" and we can probably assume "for a limited time" to be until New Year's Day or around 2 weeks.
