The latest Hitman 3 elusive target is a DJ superstar
IO Interactive announced a new Hitman 3 elusive target, the stealth game’s first new target in months, and it’s a Greek superstar
IO Interactive announced a new Hitman 3 elusive target, the stealth game’s first new target in months, and it’s internationally renowned Greek-Belgian DJ Dimitri Vegas. Vegas will lend his voice and likeness to the contract, officially called The Drop, when it launches on all platforms later in 2023.
“I’m extremely excited to be a part of the Hitman universe,” Vegas said. “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.”
Vegas’ character in The Drop is a manipulative drug lord who traded in a successful DJ career to run illegal substances around the world. The trouble is, he’s determined to be the only drug lord on the scene, and his career is making waves in all the wrong circles.
“This will be the first Elusive Target mission that we’ve created in two years 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,” company co-founder and CEO Hakan Abrak said.
Like all other elusive target missions in the new-and-improved World of Assassination, the Dimitri Vegas contract gives you just one chance to get it right. Fail, and you’re locked out of it for good – or at least until it shows up again. IOI periodically runs “reactivation” periods, where older elusive targets are active again, with more rewards to earn.
Meanwhile, IO Interactive is also working on a new James Bond game, the first in decades, along with a new RPG created in partnership with Xbox.
