Hitman March Update Detailed, New Targets and Contracts Added




/ 7 years ago

The latest Hitman game has been a great success for the makers as well as gamers. While a lot of people were sceptical about the episodal release, it worked out great. Square Enix continues to support the game and we have a Season 2 incoming soon.

While many are waiting for Season 2 with new maps, missions, and challenges, the company continues to improve on the original game, fix bugs, and best of all, adding new content. The March update adds Chinese language support, which we don’t really care about here in the UK, but also plenty of game improvements and general fixes. The update is sized at 1GB, so that isn’t too bad a download.

Before we get to the fixes, let’s have a look at new missions in March. We already got a new escalation contract in Marrakesh in the first week and this week it is time for Elusive Target number 22 – this time in Colorado. My favourite map of them all. Next week there will be 10 new featured contracts and in week four, we get another escalation contract in Bangkok.
