Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hitman Sniper: The Shadows was a 2022 mobile shooting gallery video game, set within IO Interactive's Hitman franchise, and is made by Square Enix Montreal, under the supervision of IO Interactive. It is an In Name Only sequel to Hitman: Sniper, and a side series to the mainline World of Assassination Trilogy and Hitman series as a whole.It prominently features both Agents Knight and Stone, the characters from the Co-Op portion of the Sniper Assassin mode in Hitman 2, as well as other unlockable operatives made for this game; Kolzak, Espelho, Soji, and Kiya; all with different perks and abilities to differentiate themselves from each another. They are part of a group called "Initiative 426"; otherwise known as "The Shadows", and are a team of ICA Agents that specialise in being an elite sniper unit, and are sent to fill in for legendary assassin Agent 47 after he disappears. The game consists of several sniper maps, and will feature a solo campaign, as well as a PVP mode that has players go against one another.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It was set to release in late 2021, and was even given an early access release in Brazil and Canada in October of that year, but full rollout was delayed following issues with crashes and the dev team cited that they needed more time to complete the game, and was instead released five months later, on March 3rd, 2022 for iOS and Android.Watch the Release trailer here, while the E3 2021 trailer can be found here. The website, which also lists the playable characters and abilities can be found here.Due to Square Enix shutting down developers Studio Onoma, the game was delisted on December 7th, 2022,alongside Deus ex Go, and will be taken offline on January 12th, 2023.

comment
Self-Plagiarism: Several mechanics were ported over from the main games, such as Instinct (which highlights potential accident kills, distractions, and traps), Knight's "Headshot in a radius" mechanic is a direct port of the shockwave bullets from the Hitman 2 Sniper Assassin mode in terms of functionality.

Make It Look Like an Accident: The gameplay loop is based around this. You find accident traps in the level, and kill targets this way to gain a massive amount of points. Specific traps are also highlighted that earn you more points if you kill them with them.

Level Grinding
 Hitman Sniper: The Shadows (Video Game) / int_549cd62d
comment
Level Grinding: The game is primarily based around this: In order to take on contracts, you need to earn "Power", which can be gotten by playing in the PVP mode, or spending Blood Money on agent upgrades. Weapon and Agent upgrades, the former of which has you find parts for your weapons via Lootboxes, and as the name suggests, lets you earn more points for doing kills in specific ways (like headshots or killing the primary target). Upgrading agents and weapons also earns you more power, and increases the point scores you get in a contract, making it easier to take on even more contracts. There's also a Reputation Road, which is one long track of rewards filled with weapon part crates, agent schema's, and Blood money that unlock every time you gain reputation in the PVP mode, and caps at 40,000. Agent schema's are needed to unlock the agents (Stone at 10, Kolzak at 30, while Espelho, Soji, and Kiya are unlocked at 100). Schema's usually come in lumps of 2 or more, and are found in Lootboxes, Reputation Road, PVP mode, and can be also be bought with Blood money and Blue diamonds. They are also used to level the agents up and gain more power levels to take on later contracts.

Player Versus Player: An optional mode is this, where you compete against another player to earn a specific reward (some contracts are even named after what they reward you with). Contracts rotate in and out every few days, and you are rewarded with Blood money, Agent schema's and weapon parts.

Ambiguous Time Period
 Hitman Sniper: The Shadows (Video Game) / int_7eb2bc15
comment
Ambiguous Time Period: As with Hitman: Sniper, the game doesn't give much indication of when it takes place in Hitmans' continuity, and muddling things further is the inclusion of Agents Knight and Stone, two characters introduced into Hitman 2 that play a starring role here, which were introduced in that game as being on the ICA's watchlist for ICA agent induction (which comes to pass in this game).

Timed Mission: The PVP mode has a set timer, and the person with the most points from killing targets and guards wins. The clock will run down faster if either player draws attention to themselves after a messy kill.

comment
A.K.A.-47: None of the sniper rifles are called the same thing as their real life counterparts, but a few do share corrupted names based on their originals: Knight's weapon is called a Sintac. Inc. S200, but appears to be a modified Steyr HS .50 Stone's weapon is named the "Precision Global, MCAX", but is actually a Remington MSR Mk 21 Precision Sniper Rifle. Kolzak's weapon of choice is named the Marincorp, Parragon SVD, which a corruption of the SVD Dragunov's name. Espelho's weapon is called the YHK TIA, NRF-114N, but appears to be made up from an amalgamation of guns. Soji's sniper file is named the Raifuru, K65 Tactician, a corruption of the Blaser R93 Tactical 2 moniker. Kiya's weapon of choice is named the Desert Ballistics, VGA-T2, but is actually a modified Desert Tech SRSa1.

Art Evolution: The returning characters have their textures updated to be more stylised and cartoonish instead of the realistic look the main games aim for, which was done to better fit the games' other unique characters.

Microtransactions: Present and accounted for. Blue Diamonds serve as this frontend, which can be used to buy weapon part crates, Blood Money, Agent schema's, and can be bought in larger quantities, instead of being grinded for in the main game's campaign. They can be gotten at a pretty decent rate, given the game expects you to replay the same levels again to get their tiered rewards.
