I made a contract that serves as a follow up to Hitsmas, featuring 4 of Giant Bomb's finest Hitmen. They've caused a scene in Paris, now they're on the run in Italy, forced to live under assumed identities. (Jeff may also have had some cosmetic surgery)

Contract name: Giant Hit Dot Com

Good evening, 47. Our client for this mission is I/O Interactive, video game producer and creator of the 2016 smash success Hitman. The game was recently the subject of a series of videos produced by the popular video-game website Giant Bomb dot com. I/O is upset because although these videos were successful in popularizing the game, they were also produced to give the impression the game is meant as a joke, rather than as serious assassination simulator as I/O intended. I/O has hired us to ensure that these videos stop. Permanently.

Your first target is one "Dirty" Daniel Ryckert, Giant Bomb employee and one of the principal architects of the offending video series. He is currently on the run in Italy, living under the assumed identity of "New Dan" and pursuing his secret dream of becoming an Italian plumber. This recent identity change may make tracking your target difficult. However, our analysts have uncovered some information that may be of help. Apparently, Mr. Ryckert subsists entirely on Taco Bell, is a massive fan of Nintendo's "Waluigi" character, and displays a shocking ignorance of the most basic well-known facts. These quirks may help you identify Mr. Ryckert, or may help you get close enough to eliminate him.

To be honest, we were . . . reluctant to take on a contract of this nature. However, it was ultimately decided that allowing the videos to continue would damage our profession's good name into as much it has I/O Interactive's. I would ask you be to careful, but I'm certain you will be able to give your target a lesson in proper assassination techniques. Good luck, 47. I will leave you to prepare.
