Hitman 3's latest deadly sin season, Pride, is finally here. From now until June 13, Hitman 3 players can tackle the second deadly sin in the seven part DLC series through an elusive target in Mendoza, as well as multiple escalations, new content, and other events.
Hitman 3's Seven Deadly Sins DLC was opened up for players back on March 30th with Act 1: Greed. Each season in this DLC has players confront characters who embody each sin and offers to them sin-related gear for Agent 47.
The Season of Pride begins today, May 10th, with the escalation The Pride of Profusion available for players today. The Narcissus Suit, the Majestic (a sniper rifle) as well as the Proud Swashuckler (a pride-themed sword) are the items that accompany this escalation and that players can earn through it. The escalation The Sebastian Principle is also available for players today on the Dubai map. On May 12th players will be tackling the elusive target, The Iconoclast, which pits them against another assassin who has brought on the ire of their handler. But these are just a handful of the total available content with this DLC. For example on May 28th, the Paris map opens up for free for all Hitman players.
This seven-part DLC re-imagines levels from Hitman with a sin-related twist. This began with Greed, has now moved on to Pride and will continue on to Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, and will end with Envy. This season is available from May 10th until June 13th when Act 3: Sloth is likely to start. All seven content packs are available now for $29.99, with individual ones going for $4.99 a piece.
Hitman 3's Season of Pride brings in a feature that many fans have been hoping for: player-created contracts. These featured contracts open up on June 10th and are a solid example of getting players invested and involved in the content. As long as the authors of these contracts have followed the Pride theme, these should be a welcome addition to the content pack and a unique challenge.
It does leave a chance of players encountering contracts that feel off in comparison to the carefully crafted architecture of the rest of the season. Hitman developer IO Interactive usually does well when it comes to developing a theme and running with it. The introduction of outside creators may add a different feel. Then again, these contracts are most likely going to be viewed and judged by the Hitman team so they will likely work out well. Either way, Hitman 3's Season of Pride is available to play right now.
Hitman 3 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
