With a little week delay since the end of its previous season, Hitman III entered the summer heat on Tuesday. The Season of Lust runs from July 27th to August 30th and of course brings temporary events, new challenges and a new chapter for the “Seven Deadly Sins” DLC.. IO Interactive has not deviated from its habit, and details the content of this season on its official website as well as in the video.
The Marrakech map in the spotlight
The owners ofHitman III but also those of the free “Starter Pack” have the opportunity to discover the Marrakech card this month, from the first opus of the trilogy. From July 27th to August 8th the level will be accessible in its original appearance, with the same events and goals as in the title of 2016. From August 12th to 22nd, it will then be a revised and nocturnal version that it will be possible with new destinations in the viewfinder.
It’s in the same revamped environment that “The Entertainer”, one of two Fugitive Targets this season, can be turned off from August 20th to 30th. Before that, “The Heartbreaker” has to be eliminated in Mendoza from July 30th to August 9th.. With two free missions and a final one reserved for the owners of the game, Marrakech is therefore a destination of choice for this summer.
“Dartmoor Garden Show”, a sandpit event
The big novelty of this season is the appearance of a whole new game mode, which IO Interactive describes as “permanent”. However, no details are given on this last aspect: is it a permanent presence throughout the season or will this content persist beyond that?
The Dartmoor Garden Show brings players back to the Carlisle Estate. For starters, it’s a three-stage escalation mission that takes place in the new manor gardens amid a horticultural competition.
And when this step is successful, you will see two creative modes. The first, “Deterministic Mode”, allows you to choose different goals for the Escalade. The second, “Contract Mode”, will consist of a much more advanced creative tool.. Any character of the level can be targeted, and it will be possible to choose the challenges as well as the scripts available at will. Players can then post their creations online to share with the community.
Two new weapons to unlock
As usual, this season offers the opportunity to unlock two new weapons. The ICA 19 Goldballer, a gold version of the famous 47 pistol, can be obtained by completing the Untouchable challenge of the final Carpathian mission..
The Raptor Ruby Rude submachine gun, dressed all in pink, lands in inventory by unlocking 50 contracts from the game’s partnerships.. Those produced by Shacknews media will be available on August 12th. A new set of challenges facing the community from. has presentedHitman will be released on August 26th.
The lottery of pleasure
After all, there is a new chapter in the new season within the paid expansion of the title, the “Seven Deadly Sins”. Act IV, available since July 27th and focused on lust, takes on 47 in a revised version of the Berlin nightclub. Several safes have to be forced or unlocked there in order to extract valuable clues. These enable the identification of targets, a “Secret Admirer” and “Suitors”. However, these characters are never the same from one try to another. The game randomly picks the roles, forcing players to improvise every time …
All of these little people need to be eliminated during a three-stage escalation mission. Upon graduation, she will offer a unique crossbow and explosive called “The Serpent’s Tongue” and “The Serpent’s Bite”, respectively. The “Scarlet Suit” worn throughout the chapter will also be unlocked..
The summer destinations selected by IO Interactive for this new season are therefore likely to raise the temperature with tough challenges. And the new sandbox-style mode certainly won’t disappoint the most resourceful creators in staging their personalized version of the perfect murder. Hitman III continues on its merry path, with regular and varied content that doesn’t have to be ashamed of some of the biggest machines in the current video game park.

Act IV of the DLC “Seven Deadly Sins” is also available in the store individually for 4.99 $, or within the season pass with all seven chapters for $ 29.99.
