Play Hitman 2: Silent Assassin in your browser
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is IO Interactive's 2002 follow-up to Codename 47: Agent 47 leaves the Gontranno sanctuary to find Father Vittorio and works his way through Sicily, St Petersburg, Japan and India. The full campaign is playable right in the browser, with no installer and no disc.
About the game
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin was developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive in October 2002. It continues the story of Agent 47, who returns to the Gontranno sanctuary, loses Father Vittorio to kidnappers and follows the trail through Sicily, St Petersburg, Japan and India.
The full campaign is included: the disguises, the suspicion system and the weapon handling are the same as in 2002. A desktop computer with a keyboard and mouse is required. Mission saves are kept in your browser and can be mirrored to the cloud after signing in.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this a different game from Hitman: Codename 47?
- Yes. Silent Assassin is the 2002 sequel with new missions, crouching, a first-person view and a different save system. It has its own page, its own entry in the catalogue and its own saves.
- Does Hitman 2: Silent Assassin work on phones?
- No. The game is made for a desktop computer with a keyboard and mouse; phones show a notice instead of starting the game.
- Where are the saves stored?
- The game keeps its save slots in your browser, and signing in keeps a cloud copy.
- How many saves can I make?
- The original rules apply: five saves per mission on Normal, two on Expert and none on Professional.
- Do weapons carry between missions?
- Yes. Silent Assassin drops the shop from Codename 47: weapons and items you bring back from a mission stay in the inventory, so collecting gear is part of planning the next contract.
