Hitman 3’s Freelancer mode has been delayed to the ‘second half of 2022’
Hitman 3‘s Freelancer mode has been delayed and will now release sometime in the “second half of 2022.” This was confirmed in a recent update outlining the content roadmap for Year 2. IO Interactive says that the mode is “quite expansive and involving.” With that, the developer hopes that the delay can make the mode “as close to [its] ambitions as possible.”
We last heard about the Freelancer mode in January when IO Interactive laid out its plans for Hitman 3 for the rest of 2022. The new mode will add a roguelike element to the game, where players can take down criminal organizations. It’s a big mode. So much so that IO Interactive has been thoroughly testing it to make sure it’s ready for release. While it’s disappointing to see Freelancer get delayed, it’s nice to see the developer continue to work hard on Hitman 3.
That isn’t all for the update, as we also have a roadmap for Hitman 3‘s spring content in May. As usual, there’s a range of themed contracts and unlocks for spring. These include the Yellow Rabbit Suit outfit and the Ducky Gun weapon. There’s also the Duck Hunt challenge coming on May 24. This content was originally meant to be out in April, hence the Easter theme. Two Elusive Targets are also returning. Players can take on The Fugitive from May 6 to May 13 and The Bookkeeper from May 13 to May 23. You’ll also get another chance to take down The Iconoclast from May 27 to June 6. Be sure to tackle these targets if you missed out on them before.
