Popular modern assassin video game "Hitman" receives a new professional difficulty level for players to try out. The new Exclusive Target was revealed recently by the game developers too.
Game developer IO Interactive revealed on the official website of the video game that the next update, which will be called the January Update, will have the new Professional Difficulty Level. The free update will be released together with the video game's physical disc copy launch on Jan. 31.
The game developer explained that the new difficulty will offer more extended replayability for the players to try out, and new game features. It will also have a separate mastery track with unique rewards, improved game mechanics, and new AI behavior. These factors combine into something that will give a new experience for all players whether they want to challenge their own skills in a more challenging environment or to just brag about their achievements.
The new difficulty level can be selected for all Story Missions in Season One, but it will exclude the Prologue mission. There is a requirement for players to achieve before unlocking it, which is to reach Mastery Level 20 for each location first. "Hitman's" live content called the Elusive Targets and the Escalation Contracts will only be available on the default difficulty level, which will now be called as the Normal Difficulty Level.
The game developer revealed recently in another post on the official website of the video game the next Elusive Target, which is The Blackmailer. He will be present in the Paris stage for 10 days and if this will be the first Elusive Target they complete in Paris, they will earn the Tuxedo with Gloves. For those who will complete this contract with the Silent Assassin rating will also count towards their progress for unlocking the Winter Suit.
Players will have to remember that the "Hitman" Elusive Target mission cannot be restarted once any targets have been eliminated or any of the objectives have been completed already. For Elusive Target 19, it will have two objectives, which are to eliminate Walter Williams and to retrieve the memory stick.
