Hitman Summer Bonus Episode Coming This July

On the 19th of July, there’s a Summer Bonus Episode coming to HITMAN (2016). This is an extra episode which doesn’t form part of the main story arc, but contains two standalone missions, designed to keep you occupied mid-season.

In the first mission, Agent 47 will need to put some sun block on that famous bald head as he returns to the sunny town of Sapienza to deal with one of the cast of a Sci-Fi blockbuster which is shooting in the town. The second mission will take you to the night markets of Marrakesh where a mole for a construction company is planning on selling secrets to a rival firm. You’re dispatched to stop this transaction in the only way you know how.

“We’ve created not one, but two missions for the Summer Bonus Episode and players will revisit the hugely popular Sapienza and Marrakesh locations with a completely different feel,” said Hannes Seifert, Studio Head at Io-Interactive. “It allows us to show what we can do with HITMAN as a live game - we even introduced a crazy giant killer robot, but it’s also the perfect midway point in the HITMAN season before the final three locations.”

The Summer Bonus Episode will present players with a range of new in-game Challenges and Opportunities that will keep them busy along with an entirely new setting for Escalation Contracts and Elusive Targets.

Hitman is currently available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC, with the first three locations and prologue already available. The final three locations; Thailand, the United States and the season finale in Japan arrive later this year.
