In the middle of chaos lies an opportunity to team up with Bruce Lee in HITMAN World of Assassination

Today, IO Interactive announced a free update to HITMAN World of Assassination including VR on PC, the Freelancer mode now being playable in VR on PlayStation 5 and PC, and a brand-new Elusive Target mission featuring Bruce Lee.

IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind, among others, the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise, announced today a new Elusive Target, The Infiltrator. The legendary martial artist Bruce Lee will, however, not be a target for Agent 47, but a key ally in his latest mission. In addition to this new mission, HITMAN World of Assassination is now coming to PCVR players, with a free update available for all players owning HITMAN World of Assassination on Steam. The Infiltrator Elusive Target mission is available globally on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch™*, Nintendo Switch™2, iPhone, iPad, and playable in VR on PS VR2 and PC VR, starting Thursday, September 25^th, to Thursday, November 20^th.

Bringing Bruce Lee into HITMAN World of Assassination is both an honor and a thrill for the team at IO Interactive. The upcoming mission serves as a respectful tribute to the legendary martial artist on the occasion of his 85th anniversary, while also presenting players with a distinctive challenge inspired by his extraordinary presence and lasting influence. As the HITMAN franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary, this special experience has been designed to feel authentic within the world of HITMAN.

Bruce Lee stars as Agent Lee, an operative aiming to infiltrate the Concord Union, a powerful criminal syndicate based in Hong Kong. The organisation hosts a secretive martial arts tournament, which takes place this time at the Himmapan Hotel in Bangkok. For this occasion, Agent Lee, a legendary martial artist, is back in action and invited to compete. His mission: win the tournament and uncover the identity of the Concord Union’s supreme leader.

While Lee’s combat prowess is unmatched, the tournament is rumoured to be riddled with sabotage. The player's task will be to operate from the shadows, identifying and neutralizing threats targeting Lee.

The Bruce Lee Pack, a brand new DLC pack themed after the latest Elusive Target, is also available for a limited time only, starting today and until the end of the mission, on November 20^th, on all platforms.
