Gameplay focuses on taking out targets in huge and intricate sandbox levels with complete freedom of approach. Where to go, when to strike and who to kill - it is all up to you. And for the first time Hitman will lead with a digital release inviting players into a world of assassination, from the highly fashionable Paris and sunny coast of Italy to the dust and hustle of the markets in Marrakesh in this creative stealth action game.

The next unsuspecting Elusive Target is getting ready to meet his fate next Friday 27th May.

Players will need to locate the elusive “Congressman” on a visit to sunny Sapienza. Can more than 53% of players succeed this time? How many will be Silent Assassins? Only time will tell.

Elusive Targets are specially crafted, unique targets which are available in game for a limited time only. Together with Escalation Contracts and Featured Contracts, they form part of the regular weekly live content available in HITMAN in-between new episodes. Five completed Elusive Targets will unlock the Hitman: Absolution suit in game for players, ten will unlock the Hitman: Blood Money suit and additional completions will unlock more suit variations.

Elusive Targets come with particular rules:

• An Elusive Target is a once in a lifetime experience
• They are available for a limited time only in game
• Intel on the target will be limited
• They will not appear in instinct mode, or the mini map and their locations will not be revealed to you – you’ll have to go and find them
• Your target can only die once
• If you die during the mission, that’s it
• When the time runs out, they are gone for good
• If you fail, there are no second chances

This Elusive Target is only available for a limited period of time and only to players that own the Sapienza location. To be clear, the Sapienza location is not included in the Intro Pack. If you do not own the Sapienza location already, but wish to experience this Elusive Target, you should either unlock all locations by purchasing the Upgrade Pack or purchase the Sapienza location separately.
