Hitman 3's Season of Pride continues to rage on as IO Interactive has officially released a mission briefing trailer for The Iconoclast Elusive Target. The Iconoclast is part of Hitman 3's May roadmap and fans are already able to hunt the elusive target as of today.
IO Interactive's mission briefing for The Iconoclast reveals that the new elusive Hitman 3 target is known as Joanne Bayswater and she's banished by a competing agency. Bayswater apparently put the lives of civilians at risk after rising through the ranks of her agency until she was betrayed by her handler.
After breaking free from her original agency, Bayswater has gone above and beyond in order to find vengeance against those who have wronged her. As a result, she has created her own assassination business and is actively recruiting suitable assassins, which is how Agent 47 got word of her escapades. This rogue assassin will provide Hitman 3 players with a proper challenge as she's aware of her former agency's strategies which rival those of Agent 47's International Contract Agency. One of Bayswater's main strategies is to poison her victims, so Agent 47 will have to avoid detection as well as potentially poisonous items.
The Hitman World of Assassination trilogy officially comes to a close with Hitman 3, but that isn't stopping IO Interactive from releasing more DLC to the game. The 7 Deadly Sins roadmap continues with Season of Pride which will run from now until June 13th and it brings tons of new content to the latest installment in the Hitman franchise. Hitman 3 Season of Pride features new Escalations, several Elusive Targets including The Iconoclast, and other bonus content for fans of the latest title in the series to appreciate.
With Season of Pride wrapping up in June, IO Interactive still has tons of new DLC content to reveal to Hitman 3 fans as there are 7 Deadly Sins to work through. This 7-part premium expansion for Hitman 3 is in its second phase as the first sin that IO Interactive focused on was Greed and that season ran until May 10th. On May 20th, contracts created by the "Spawn On Me" podcast will be released, while June 10th sees the release of community-made contracts with a batch of pride-themed missions created by other players. The Seven Deadly Sins Collection is available for $29.99, while the individual Season of Pride expansion pack is available for $4.99.
Hitman 3 is available right now for Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
