A new update for Hitman 3 is now available. The big new addition is the support for its new paid expansion content: the Seven Deadly Sins. The first act, Greed, features a new 3-stage Escalation mode: The Greed Enumeration.
Alongside that, the new Seasonal event, Berlin Egg Hunt, is live today until April 12.
And also, we will be getting the first Hitman 3 Elusive Target. As in, the first to take place in a Hitman 3 map. The first two Elusive Targets require the Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 Access Pass DLC (which is free if you own Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 on the same platform). It will take place in Dartmoor and will be available starting April 9.
The patch notes, as always, are a good read. So we’ll quote some of the brilliant ones right here to highlight the handiwork of the editor that makes these not only readable, but also entertaining:
AchievementFramerate Unlocked
Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X users can now toggle between a locked/ 30fps or unlocked framerate. Locked is the default option. In testing, we’ve hit a very consistent 60 fps on Xbox One X across all three games in the trilogy, with only occasional dips.
Normal vs Medium
We’ve adjusted the text on some of our ‘graphics settings’ descriptions so that they’re consistent between the game and the launcher. Medium is the new normal.
Repetitive Repetition
We identified an issue where Carl Ingram would often repeat a line of dialogue when using the dictaphone, so we’ve resolved the issue where Carl Ingram would often repeat a line of dialogue when using the dictaphone.
Grape Box
We’ve (apparently) resolved an issue that could cause 47 to get stuck inside a grape box in Mendoza.
(Editor’s Note: Sometimes I wonder if our developers just make up some of these ‘fixes’ to see if they can get them in the patch notes…)
Camera?
We’ve resolved an issue where ??? might be displayed as a button prompt when attempting to take a photo, depending on the assigned button.
The full patch notes (and known issues) can be found here. Also, good to know that IO Interactive has been updating the credits.
