Hitman soon turns 25, so Agent 47 goes clubbing in the newest Elusive Target Mission

The Hitman series soon turns 25 years old, but Agent 47’s unwrinkled face doesn’t carry the “what am I doing with my life?” stress that normally accompanies such a birthday. Developer IO Interactive is instead celebrating with both new and returning events coming to the stealth infiltration mega package that is Hitman: World Of Assassination. IOI are dropping the game’s next Elusive Target mission, called The Drop, on October 27th. The forthcoming mission sees Agent 47 enter (infiltrate) a shadowy Berlin club to party until he forgets what day it is. He may or may not murder a DJ who’s secretly also a drug lord while he’s there. Our new target is actually modelled off of real-world deckman, DJ Dimitri Vegas. Returning events include the Bad Boy (available October 13-23rd) and Food Critic (available from October 20-30th) missions. Should you wish to take the stealthy shenanigans on the go and don’t yet own a Steam Deck, there’s some good news. IOI are also releasing Hitman: Blood Money on mobile this Autumn, with a Switch release following in Winter. Hitman has always played more like a methodical, violent puzzle game for me, rather than a purely stealthy-shooty one, so I can imagine that it probably works well on smaller screens regardless.
