Hitman Episode 3 and the Third Sarajevo Six Target Available Next Week

News: The next episode in the new Hitman will be released next week, along with the third Sarajevo Six target which is PS4 exclusive.

IO-Interactive has revealed that the third episode for Hitman will be released next week on May 31. The third Sarajevo Six target will also be available with Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh. Your target is Walter Menard, a veteran of the paramilitary SIGMA UNIT active during the Yugoslav War of the 90s. The target has currently been tasked with handling the evacuation of rogue banker Claus Strandberg in Marrakesh.

In a city teaming with life on the brink of a full-scale riot, these are the moments before a coup d’état, where the visible military presence exacerbates a situation where tensions are running high. Bustling Berber markets, alleyways crammed with stalls and shops, a clinical Swedish consulate and shaded rooftop terraces are just some of the areas that players can explore in Marrakesh.

Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh will present players with a range of new in-game Challenges and Opportunities that will keep them busy along with an entirely new setting for Escalation Contracts and Elusive Targets.

Hitman started with a Prologue and Paris location in March, Episode 2: Sapienza in April and now Episode 3: Marrakesh on May 31. From here Hitman will deliver regular content updates, including three additional locations; Thailand, the United States and the season finale in Japan later in 2016.

Episode 3: Marrakesh is free as part of the Full Experience Pack. Owners of the Intro Pack can choose either the Upgrade Pack for $50, which will then include all of this year’s content as it’s released including live and bonus content - or choose to purchase the location individually for $10 (or local equivalent).

PS4 players get exclusive access to The Sarajevo Six while everything else is on all platforms. These are six bonus contracts that tell a self-contained side-story revolving around former members of a paramilitary unit called CICADA. Agent 47 will travel the world in pursuit of his targets, with one bonus contract available in each location from the game.

Hitman is available on the PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC. Have you bought it yet? If not, will you be purchasing it in the future?
