Hitmans første unnvikende mål på to år lar deg slippe takten på en IRL DJ

IO Interactive’s final flourish with its Hitman trilogy was to bring it all under one roof, with Hitman 3 går over til Hitman: World of Assassination and adding a roguelike mode alongside everything from the first two games. Or it felt like the final flourish anyway, with the game being maintained and patched since but no new additions (and even IO itself saying Hitman “har en liten pause").

The studio has now announced a new elusive target is coming to the game this fall, free for all players, as part of IO’s 25th anniversary celebrations. The target will be superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas, who’s lending his likeness and voiceover to a character called The Drop loosely based on himself: the Hitman Vegas will be a DJ-turned-druglord who’s “bent on controlling the scene one way or another”.

Morsomt nok ble kunngjøringen gjort under et sett av Vegas og Like Mike på Tomorrowland 2023, en stor EDM-festival. Man kan bare forestille seg hvor begeistret de revelers var ved kunngjøringen av DLC for en oppslukende sim som avbrøt et sett. 

“I’m extremely excited to be a part of the Hitman universe,” said Vegas. “It’s always exciting to be involved in creative projects and I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone reacts to my character when the mission launches later this year.”

“This will be the first Elusive Target mission that we’ve created in two years,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive, “and we’re very happy that our passionate community and newcomers to the game will be able to enjoy it for free later this year as part of IO Interactive’s 25-year anniversary celebrations.”

Unnvikende mål er karakterer som dukker opp i spillet i en begrenset periode, med den hemmelige sausen at spillerne får en sjanse til å ta dem ut: mislykkes og sjansen er borte, i noen tilfeller for alltid (noen få unnvikende mål har returnert nedover linje, men ikke alle). De dukker også opp i Elusive Target Arcade-modusen, der spillere må drepe dem én etter én, men feil betyr en fullstendig tilbakestilling av fremgangen.

There’s no specific date on when The Drop will arrive in Hitman: World of Assassination but, given the company was founded on 16 September, 1998, in Copenhagen, that’s where the smart money may go. If I was a betting man I also wonder if this is when we may hear a little something more on IO’s James Bond game, som først ble annonsert for snart tre år siden.
