IO Interactive has announced the return of the Elusive Target mission, "The Drop," featuring the likeness and voiceover of Superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas. This mission will be available for free as part of the Free Starter Pack starting September 12. New players can enjoy it, and it will also be accessible as an Elusive Target for HITMAN World of Assassination players, but only for a limited time.

HITMAN World of Assassination brings together the best of HITMAN 1, HITMAN 2 and HITMAN 3 in a bumper package of content that includes the main campaign, Contracts mode, Escalations, Elusive Target Arcades and featured live content.

In The Drop, players will be tasked with eliminating an international DJ-turned-drug lord, modelled on the appearance of world-renowned DJ Dimitri Vegas. The mission will be available to play for newcomers as part of the Free Starter pack, whereas HITMAN World of Assassination players will be able to access the mission also for free during the event.

The Drop DLC pack will also launch on the 12th of September, which will give players access to a permanent access to the Drop mission, as well as a new outfit, items, and a set of cosmetics for the freelancer house.

A roadmap covering the duration of The Drop mission will be released when The Drop returns. This roadmap will include new challenges and the return of previous Elusive Targets. Additionally, a new Twitch Drop will be available after The Drop's return begins.
