Eager for the next episode of HITMAN to go on sale? Square Enix and developer Io-Interactive have locked in a May 31 release date for HITMAN Episode 3: Marrakesh to go on sale for all platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC).
The main mission of this episode is titled “A Gilded Cage”, and will see Agent 47 enlisted to take out two targets: private investment banker Claus Strandberg and Army General Reza Zaydan. In a city teaming with life yet on the brink of a full-scale riot, these are the moments before a coup d’état, where the visible military presence exacerbates a situation where tensions are running high.
Bustling Berber markets, alleyways crammed with stalls and shops, a clinical Swedish consulate and shaded rooftop terraces are just some of the areas that players can explore in Marrakesh. These locales will not only be home to the main campaign, but will also present players with a range of new in-game challenges and opportunities, along with an entirely new setting for Escalation Contracts and Elusive Targets.
This is the third major episodic release of HITMAN since March, with the Intro Pack (Prologue + Paris) and Sapienza episodes now on sale. Regular content updates will be available moving forward, including new episodes in the future which will take Agent 47 to Thailand, the United States and Japan later in 2016.
Episode 3: Marrakesh is free as part of the Full Experience Pack. Owners of the Intro Pack can choose to purchase the Upgrade Pack for $50, which will then include all of this year’s content as it’s released, including live and bonus content. Alternatively it is possible to purchase each new episode individually for $10 USD (or a local equivalent).
