IO Interactive (@IOInteractive) has confirmed that the brand-new Elusive Target Mission, ‘The Drop’, is now available for free in Hitman: World of Assassination (@Hitman) for a limited time. To celebrate this launch, Hitman: World of Assassination will also offer new challenges to players that will allow them to unlock cool suits.

In this new mission, available for free to all Hitman: World of Assassination owners, Agent 47 is tasked with eliminating Alexios Laskaridis, an international DJ-turned-drug lord, modelled on the appearance of world-renowned DJ Dimitri Vegas.

Until November 26th, players will get to take part in this unique do-or-die contract. The mission will offer numerous ways to get Agent 47 to eliminate the threat posed by the double-faced musician during his set in a Berlin club.

Players are invited to replay the original Berlin mission from Hitman 3 before they tackle the Elusive Target Mission, as it served as a basis for the development of this newly themed mission. They will only ever get one shot at this mission, and if they want to increase their chances of eliminating Dimitri Vegas’ criminal mastermind alter ego, getting familiar with the lay of the land is definitely going to help them.

From today onwards and for the first time ever, IO Interactive will offer live stream fans the possibility to watch content creators playing Hitman: World of Assassination on Twitch to try and grab an exclusive Purple Streak Suit through the Twitch Drop feature.

There are still many more activities available to Hitman: World of Assassination players. For instance, the Mills Reverie Halloween Event just started and will offer players the opportunity to grab a Jack O’ Lantern suit in a Halloween-themed mission. Further, The Codename 47 challenge is now live, and for the next few days will allow fans to unlock a very polygonal retro skin and suit for Agent 47.

A merchandise shop for HITMAN fans

IO Interactive has plenty to celebrate at the moment: 25 years of existence last month, brand new content added to Hitman: World of Assassination throughout the fall season, as well as a brand-new mobile version of a beloved Hitman game.

The independent video game developer and publisher is however extremely excited to bring a whole new, very physical and palpable experience to HITMAN fans all over the world: an official online merchandise shop dedicated to Agent 47 and his assassination antics all over the world. From a You’ve Been Poisoned Mug to a Silent Assassin Long Sleeve Tee and obviously an Agent 47 Go Kit, players will be able to place their orders as soon as October 29^th here. The code AGENT, valid until November 3^rd, will grant the earliest birds an exclusive 20% off their first purchase (exclusions may apply).
