IO Interactive announces that a new Elusive Target will be added to Hitman World of Assassination on December 12. If you missed the headline, the new elusive target will feature the likeness of actor Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Van Damme will portray Max Valliant, "once one of ICA’s most formidable operatives who was presumed dead before suddenly reappearing and taking over an ICA data storage facility for an unknown motive."
Van Damme's mission is called The Splitter and will be available as part of the Free Starter Pack for new players as and a regular Elusive Target for Hitman World of Assassination players. This target will be available from December 12, 2024 through to January 12, 2025.
The Splitter
In this new role, Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Max Valliant, a former ICA operative believed to have been eliminated years ago after it was discovered he was dealing with other organizations. Somehow evading his assassination, he has now returned with a vengeance. After resurfacing, Max Valliant has taken control of an ICA data storage facility and requested a meeting with the ICA board.
Taking place in Chongqing, Agent 47’s mission will be threefold: escorting an ICA board member within the facility, uncovering Max Valliant’s sinister agenda, and most importantly, taking down Max Valliant. A ruthless and unforgiving assassin whose only weakness seems to be his self-confidence; Max Valliant will not be like any other mission.
The Elusive Target mission is available to play, for free, for newcomers to HITMAN in the Free Starter Pack, with the possibility of replaying the mission as many times as they wish, for the mission's duration. HITMAN World of Assassination players can play the Elusive Target mission for free, but with only one chance at success.
