Hitman's next Elusive Target will be live on Friday

UPDATE: Landslide bonus mission revealed in new trailer.

UPDATE 27/01/2017 7.03pm: Hitman's third bonus mission, Landslide, now has a new trailer showing how it's altered its Sapienza map to make way for a concert.

This time out you'll be crashing music festival Festival del Paese that your target, a corrupt politician named Marco Abbiati, is attending.

Landslide is a bonus mission for those who purchased the The Complete First Season of Hitman, its Upgrade Pack (the Episodes 2-6 bundle), or the retail disc. Basically the only way you won't have this content is if you bought each episode individually.

Landslide will launch on 31st January to coincide with Hitman's retail edition. The game will also receive an all new Professional Difficulty mode on that same day as part of its January update.

ORIGINAL STORY 24/01/2017 7.13pm: Hitman's next Elusive Target, the 19th of these limited time engagements, will launch on 27th January.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to eliminate a blackmailer named Walter Williams and retrieve the memory stick. As with all Elusive Targets, you only get one shot at this. Make it count.
