Hitman 3 Winter roadmap – reactivated Elusive Targets, new permanent mission, and more

IO Interactive has surprised all Hitman 3 players with a new Winter roadmap. This roadmap reveals all the content coming to the game over the holiday period and into January 2022. There’s a mix of new and old content from past Hitman games to enjoy, filling up the weeks leading into the new year when the developer will officially reveal its plans for Hitman 3 Year Two. The content you can expect to play until then is as follows.

Play for Free Dubai: November 22 to December 5

Hitman 3’s Dubai location and mission are free for all Hitman 3 Starter Pack owners for a limited time. This is the location where Hitman 3’s story begins, offering anyone the chance to experience the game’s intro at no cost.

Holiday Hoarders: November 30

Holiday Hoarders is a permanent mission set in Hitman 2016’s Paris location. The mission debuted in 2016 but will now be made available for free to all owners of Hitman 3. Players must hunt down two targets inspired by the villains from the early Home Alone movies. There’s a new suit to unlock in this mission and plenty of new challenges for players to take on if they’re looking for more content to dig their teeth into.

Reactivated Elusive Targets: December 3 to January 19

For a short period of time, players will be able to revisit all the Elusive Targets that appeared in Hitman 3 locations throughout 2021. The targets will be available one after the other in the following order and only available for the dates shown.

• The Ascensionist: December 3 to 9
• The Collector: December 10 to 16
• The Iconoclast: December 17 to 23
• The Liability: December 24 to 30
• The Heartbreaker: December 31 to January 6
• The Procurers: January 7 to 13
• The Rage: January 14 to 19

Featured Contracts by Urben: December 21

The first batch of holiday-themed Featured Contracts comes from a community member named Urben. These Contracts are all focused on Christmas and the theme of giving, meaning they may look quite different from the standard offering.

Hokkaido Snow Festival: January 3

The Hokkaido Snow Festival is a new permanent event for all Hitman 3 owners. It adds two new items to unlock and provides you with an interesting new mission to work through, similar to Holiday Hoarders.

Featured Contracts by Frote7: January 13

The second batch of Featured Contracts for the season comes from the Hitman Speedrunning community. These Contracts will still be themed on the holiday season but should feature more of a focus on speed and getting the job done fast.
