Supported by his Agency handler, Diana Burnwood, Agent 47 joins forces with his long-lost friend Lucas Grey. Their ultimate mission is to eliminate the partners of Providence, but they are forced to adapt as their hunt intensifies. When the dust settles, 47 and the world he inhabits will never be the same again.

In 2015, we shared our vision for the World of Assassination; an ever-expanding game that would evolve over time and be the foundation for future Hitman games. Those were the exact words we used and a central promise to how we’ve released the three games in the 7 years that followed. Hitman World of Assassination includes Hitman 1, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3.

Featuring six meticulously detailed locations packed full of creative opportunities, Hitman World of Assassination gives players the unrivaled freedom to complete their objectives in a game world that reacts to everything they do. All of this is made possible by IOI’s award-winning Glacier technology, which powers Hitman III’s immersive game world to offer unparalleled player choice and replayability.

Hitman World of Assassination players can import locations from the previous games in the trilogy and have more than 20+ locations under one roof. All of the improvements to rendering, animation and AI introduced with Hitman World of Assassination can be enjoyed across all three games, making Hitman World of Assassination the ultimate place to play the entire World of Assassination trilogy.

IO Interactive announced an exciting new Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination. The new Elusive Target mission, featuring the likeness and voiceover work of Seán McLoughlin, better known to millions as creator icon Jacksepticeye, is playable from October 29th until November 25th, 2026, for free in game and via the Free Demo.

"I’ve been playing HITMAN with my community for years, so getting to actually step into the World of Assassination is unreal. Finn is loud, paranoid, and completely obsessed with content, and playing him was an absolute blast. I can’t wait to see all the creative ways you take him down, so make sure you’re recording it!" shared Jacksepticeye.

New Elusive Target, The Host – Available October 29th

In this latest mission, Agent 47 sets his sights on Finn Colton, better known by his online handle Finnvictus, a popular, controversial, and now very wealthy content creator. The former children’s television star is regularly criticized for exploitative contracts that push his employees to their limits. 47’s client, is a relative of one such content creator, who disappeared after signing a contract with the Finnvictus team. The evidence points to her murder, and to Colton as the perpetrator – but due to his wealth and influence, justice has proved difficult to secure. Colton is secretive and paranoid, spending most of his time at his remote content complex in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, where a camera setup livestreams every aspect of his life 24/7. To get inside, the client has secured Agent 47 a guest spot on the Finn and Friends podcast, under the alias of “thought leader” Tobias Rieper. There are eyes everywhere, and 47 must make sure they do not see him. To play the Elusive Target mission featuring The Host, players need to have access to the Hawke’s Bay location.

The mission delivers a brand-new character and an all-new storyline set in Hawke’s Bay, marking Jacksepticeye’s debut in the World of Assassination. Seán McLoughlin lends both his likeness and voice to Finn Colton, bringing his unmistakable energy and personality to Agent 47’s world. What follows is a darkly comic exploration of Colton’s bizarre content empire. Much like 47, Colton is a man who must wear many masks to earn his living, but while 47 is at peace with being “nothing” underneath his disguises, Colton is not.

Want to organize a meeting with your target? Check. How about opening elevator doors to access a new route? You can do that too and so much more.

As you explore each mission and complete challenges, you’ll rise through 20 Mastery tracks that will unlock new tools, weapons and even Starting Locations that will let you begin your next playthrough with a big advantage – possibly even in a disguise.

Hitman World of Assassination has been made with replayability front and center. You simply cannot see and do everything that a mission has to offer in a single playthrough, and the Mastery tracks keep things fresh as you take new approaches, use new items and discover previously unexplored areas.
