When HITMAN 3 – Year 2 begins on January 20, the Arcade will also be open with a total of 3 Arcade Contracts, each one with Elusive Targets from a specific game in the World of Assassination trilogy. Our aims with this game mode are to give players the chance to engage and play Elusive Target content more frequently, provide a new challenge for long-time players in the Elusive Target game mode, create a new type of recurring content that will reward players with desirable unlocks. Once we add one to the game, they won’t go away. This lockout enables us to keep the high-stakes gameplay that is a hallmark of Elusive Targets, whilst also giving players a clear indication of when they are able to play a particular Elusive Target again.Ĭrucially, Arcade Contracts are permanent additions to HITMAN 3. If you fail an Arcade Contract at any point, there will be a 12-hour lockout before you can retry the contract again from the start. Each one must be completed to proceed to the next – and there are additional complications added to the contract as well. There are several significant chances to the mode here: Each Arcade Contract now tasks you with taking down consecutive Elusive Targets, one contract after the other.
