The First Elusive Target to Appear in 'Hitman' This Friday

This is your warning.

Square Enix is putting 'Hitman' players on notice. This Friday, the game will see its first Elusive Target. The game has thus far really nailed a 2016 'Hitman' experience (see reviews here and here), but this Elusive Target feature takes the challenge to another level.

The Elusive Targets are specially crafted, unique targets, which come with particular rules:

An Elusive Target is a once in a lifetime experience
They are available for a limited time only in game – this first Elusive Target will last 48 hours
Intel on the target will be limited
They will not appear in instinct mode, or the mini map and their locations will not be revealed to you – you’ll have to go and find them
Plan accordingly before you engage your target
Your target can only die once
If you die during the mission, that’s it
When the time runs out, they are gone for good
If you fail, there are no second chances

Square Enix has also indicated that this first warning of an Elusive Target may be the earliest indicator that players get ahead any Elusive Target.

Good luck.
