From Reddit. Can't seem to find the official post, but there is a screenshot of the post. Also the banner of the Hitman account has been updated to show this event.

Description:

In this new role, Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Max Valliant, a former ICA operative believed to have been eliminated years ago after it was discovered he was dealing with other organizations. Somehow evading his assassination, he has now returned with a vengeance. After resurfacing, Max Valliant has taken control of an ICA data storage facility and requested a meeting with the ICA board.

Taking place in Chongqing, Agent 47’s mission will be threefold: escorting an ICA board member within the facility, uncovering Max Valliant’s sinister agenda, and most importantly, taking down Max Valliant. A ruthless and unforgiving assassin whose only weakness seems to be his self-confidence; Max Valliant will not be like any other mission.

The Elusive Target mission is available to play, for free, for newcomers to HITMAN in the Free Starter Pack, with the possibility of replaying the mission as many times as they wish, for the mission's duration. HITMAN World of Assassination players can play the Elusive Target mission at no additional cost, but with only one chance at success. They can also gain permanent access to an Arcade mission featuring The Splitter through The Splitter Pack.

Awesome, but I want to share some beers with him instead of shoting him.

PSVR2 mode is being released in March too. Can't wait as Hitman has been one of my favorite franchises over the last 20 years!

And they actually own the IP too since they left SE, so they're keeping all the money they're making.

ERA is blowing up on JCVD because of what he said on a talkshow from 2018.

One of our national treasure.

Here a few classic french JCVD quote translated. Pure Gold.

- "According to statistics, one in five people is unbalanced. If there are 4 people around you and they seem normal to you, it's not good"
- "When you gain confidence in confidence you become confident."
- "If you're working with a jackhammer during an earthquake, get out of sync, otherwise you're working for nothing."
- "My wife is not my best sexual partner, but she does housework very well."
- "Peanuts are sweet and salty, strong and tender, like a woman. Peanuts are perpetual motion within the reach of man."


- “If you call a psychic and she doesn’t pick up before it rings, hang up.”

He is OG of action and martial arts films. He is a hard target because he can split anytime

 

[kevboard]

I wouldn't go near him. he is a Tanaka, he knows the dim mak!

He has more talent than those soy boys.

Ballet, martial arts, acting, attractive, etc.

 

[Gambit2483]

This thread already delivers

 

[Mayar]

If I don't see this in the game, I'll be disappointed.

The amount of spectacular target eliminations in this situation just boggles my mind...

 

[Viruz]

Beware 47!

I do not want to murder one of my childhood heroes.

Apparently 47 didn't actually kill Conor Mcgregor (probably in his contract) so maybe the same thing will happen with JCVD

 

[Mister Apoc]

Are these elusive targets stuff canon?

I consider them canon. Especially the one where you kill Santa.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Can you kill him by rolling him while he's In his wheelchair off a balcony.

IOI's commitment to this game is something to behold. I wish more developers and publishers would embrace this long game strategy with releases in the future. Some games don't really need sequels, they just need more content. And DLC is perfect for that...

 

[Plague Doctor]

I would get a lot more satisfaction from Steven Seagal being the guest target.

But the download size to get his fat ass to waddle in that mission might be too much for my hard drive.
