Elusive Target Arcade, Freelancer, and everything new coming to Hitman 3 Year 2

IO Interactive earlier announced that they would be revealing what Year 2 of Hitman 3 would look like in a video that would be "packed full of announcements, reveals and never-before-seen footage of new content" on January 13. They seem to have duly delivered on that promise.

The Reveal Stream ran a little over thirteen minutes and showcased "new game modes, new maps and new ways to play" coming to the game. This significant update will be free with Year 2 beginning on January 20. The full trilogy will also be released on the Xbox Game Pass for both console and PC.

The first addition, which will be available on January 20, is the Elusive Target Arcade. Kevin Goyon, Live Game Director, states:

Gushing over their work to accentuate the concept, Goyon further states:

Players will take on the ultimate Elusive Target challenge and earn rewards all along. This is no longer about taking down a single target, but one after another with new objectives and complications thrown into the mix.

Upon completing the trial, the player will win exclusive rewards that can be used throughout the game.

The Elusive Target Arcade will be permanently added to the game and players can access it at their leisure. Upon failing a trial, they will have to wait for the next to give it another go. Throughout Year 2, the Elusive Target Arcade will be updated with more trials and Arcade Contracts.

This is going to be a new single-player mode on Hitman 3 that will introduce "roguelike elements, strategic planning and a customizable safehouse." Agent 47's Safehouse will be a playable space and comprise of unique elements.

It will act as the base of operations and will be customizable. Furthermore, it will allow the player to carve their ideal version of Hitman.
