The long-awaitedFreelancermode forHitman 3goes live later this month, tasking the world’s blandest professional killer with taking down nefarious organisations one target at a time. To prepare for Freelancer’s launch on January 26th, devs IO Interactive have shared a new trailer that’s essentially just the mission briefing your Agent 47 will see when he begins his bloodthirsty roguelike quest. You can watch the mission briefing below, if you’re feeling suitably assassinatey.

IOI is folding all the missions from the two earlier games into Hitman 3 on PC from January 26th too, as Grahampointed outjust a few days into the new year. This is partly to accommodate the imminent arrival of Freelancer mode, which IOI explained when the World Of Assassination changes were announced. It also means that if you own Hitman 3 then you’ll get all the mission gubbins from the Hitman 1 and 2 base games for free. Nice.

Hitman 3 is onSteamand theEpic Games Storefor £50/$60/€60. It’s also part of Microsoft’s PC Game Pass subscription service, along with Hitman 1 and 2, as part of the World Of Assassination Trilogy. Freelancer mode lands on January 26th.
