The video starts by showing the return of the fan-favorite Holiday Hoarders seasonal event in Hitman 3, starting today, November 30. The premise of Holiday Hoarders this time around is that Agent 47 is out to stop the burglars Harry and Marv from ruining Christmas. The burglars are a direct reference to the criminal duo from the original Home Alone film performed by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.
The video confirms that Holiday Hoarders will be a permanent addition to Hitman 3 for all owners of the game. According to the video, players who have the Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack will be able to play the seasonal event in December for free. Players who play Holiday Hoarders in Hitman 3 will be able to unlock the Santa 47 Suit in the game.
The second addition is the Urbens Holiday Special curated contracts, which will start on December 21. This seasonal event features contracts picked by community member Urben. As part of the event, Elusive Targets have been reactivated for Hitman 3 starting every Friday from December 3 to January 19. Players will get another shot at eliminating several key targets from the past Hitman 3 season in December, like the proud Iconoclast target, the lustful Heartbreaker, and others.
The third addition is the Hokkaido Snow Festival which starts on January 3, and the festival event will also be a permanent addition to Hitman 3. In this event, players can visit the snow festival and participate in some jubilant activities like throwing snowballs and unlocking winter-themed items, including the Ice Pick and the Snow Festival suit. It will be a permanent event for all owners of the game, and Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack players can enjoy the Hokkaido Snow Festival for free until February 4.
Next, the Winter Madness Contracts are being curated by Frote7’s Speedrun Community, which will be available starting on January 13. The location Dubai will be available to Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack players right now for free until this Sunday, December 5. Then the video closes out by revealing that Hitman 3 Year 2 will start on January 20. It states that the game’s post-launch content throughout 2022 will include new maps, new storylines, new game modes, and new ways to play the game. There will even be a full reveal of the new content for Hitman 3 Year 2 in early 2022.
Hitman 3 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
