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.

Elusive Target #21, The Surgeons, is now live in Hokkaido across all platforms. A briefing video is available online and in-game to help players determine the approximate location of the target. Players will need to own HITMAN Episode 6: Hokkaido in order to access this content.

Elusive Target #21 has two primary objectives and one optional objective:

• Primary Objectives: (1) Eliminate Pavel Frydel & (2) Eliminate Akane Akenawa
• Optional Objective: Eliminate both targets using viral infection 

Start time:    Friday, February 24th 13:00 GMT / 14:00 CET
End time:     Friday, March 3rd 13:00 GMT / 14:00 CET

Elusive Targets are part of the live content being published for HITMAN in-between episodes and represent a new game mode debuting for players. They are not going to be easy but if you can prove yourself, you’ll earn in-game rewards for completing Elusive Target contracts. 

The Elusive Targets are specially crafted, unique targets, which 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
• Plan accordingly before you engage your target
• 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
