IO Interactive has announced the multiple game modes that will be available in Hitman III at launch, which includes the recurring Elusive Targets, Contracts Mode, and more.
Get the details below, via IO Interactive.
Campaign
De Hitman III campaign mode will take you on a globe-trotting adventure after sprawling sandbox locations and will provide a dramatic conclusion to the “World of Assassination” trilogy. Agent 47 returns as a ruthless professional for the most important contracts of his entire career and if the dust settles, the world he claims will never be the same again.
Discover goals
The stakes are high and the clock is ticking. Discovering goals is the ultimate Hitman challenging and are designed to provide an exciting, pulsating experience. You need to track down a unique target, with little to no help from the HUD or instinct and devise a plan to eliminate them on the fly. Good luck. In Hitman III, we are making some changes to the Elusive Target formula that we will announce at a later date.
Escalations
Pretty much everything goes in Escalations. Expect your gameplay skills to be maximized as new elements are thrown at you in each phase of the contract. Hiding restrictions, added security cameras and other kinds of other complications will get in your way. You must overcome them all – and still manage to eliminate your goals – to make your mission a success!
Contract mode
Play-to-create is the core of Contracts Mode. Choose your own goals, choose how to eliminate them and then make it all happen. Once you have completed the contract yourself, challenge friends to compete for the best score on the Leaderboards. Powerful search tools let you find the exact type of contract you want to play and search for Featured Contracts, where IO Interactive chooses the best of the best to play through the entire community.
Sniper Assassin
Dedicated to long-range missions, Sniper Assassin assists you with eliminating targets and guards without triggering an alarm, while completing challenges to increase your score multiplier. In Hitman III, Sniper Assassin can only be played in existing cards as a single-player experience. We prepared to sunbathe the co-op servers Hitman 2 for the launch of Hitman III and we share an accurate timeline and a solution for the mode’s multiplayer trophies in the coming months.
Ghost Mode
One-on-one competitive multiplayer came to the Hitman franchise for the first time with Ghost Mode. With our current focus on other areas of the “World of Assassination,” Ghost Mode will not be included Hitman III and we made the difficult decision to shut down the Ghost Mode servers Hitman 2 on Monday, August 31st, 2020. We have learned a hell of a lot from Ghost Mode over the last two years and we will take all those lessons on board for what we do in the future regarding multiplayer.
We would like to send our sincere thanks to all our players who have enjoyed Ghost Mode for the last two years. We are looking forward to a few more games online and raising one glass for Ghost Mode one last time. One other thing; The Phantom Suit, which can only be unlocked by playing Ghost Mode, will be added as an unlock in Hitman III.
Hitman III will be released in January 2021 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadiums.
