Keen to make a killing on Hitman: Codename 47's (2000) success, Eidos gave IO Interactive just two years to make a second game in its series. On 1 October 2002 Hitman 2: Silent Assassin was released and the game proved even more of a success with gamers, selling 4.28 million copies across PS2, Xbox and PC as verified by VGChartz.com. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin remains the best-selling game in the franchise's history, though Hitman: Absolution (2012) came close, with 3.98 million copies sold across PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
