IO Interactive has announced a season pass of Hitman 3 paid DLC that is set to start next week. The Seven Deadly Sins DLC will start next week on 30th March, bringing a new sinful twist on the game, with a new suit to unlock and a sin-themed item to unlock and use across the whole World of Assassination trilogy.
Act 1: Greed is a new Escalation contract called The Greed Enumeration, allowing you carry items between each of the three stages – a new gameplay mechanic. The level used for this is the Dubai stage, which has been modified and redressed to fit the theme.
Should you succeed, you’ll be able to unlock the Rapacious Suit as well the the sinful Greedy Little Coin and The Devil’s Cane to wield.
Each individual pack is priced at £5/$5/€5 with a new one expected every four to six weeks. You can save a smidgeon by buying the whole collection for £30/$30/€30.
The Seven Deadly Sins DLC will modify levels from Hitman 3, like filling up Dubai with gold coins!
Don’t worry if you don’t want to spend any coin (greedy, little or otherwise), because there is still plenty of free content coming, but IOI are shifting away from monthly roadmaps. Instead they are kicking off the Season of Greed, which will include Escalations, Featured Contracts and Elusive Targets, just as before. It’s just branded differently.
It’s all a little bit odd from IOI, and might put a few noses out of joint after the launch of Hitman 3. Unlike Hitman 2, there was no season pass at launch, and IOI made it clear that there would be no further DLC levels added to the trilogy as DLC. However, Hitman 3 was still offered with a Deluxe Edition that included Deluxe Escalation Contracts alongside some other digital content for an extra £20. Now, a couple of months later, there is a season pass of DLC.
Hitman 3 wraps the stylish and inventive trilogy perfectly, having scored an 8 out of 10 in our review:
Charting the series’ progress since that 2016 Paris debut has been a fascinating journey. IO have learned a lot over the past five years and that really shows in Hitman 3. It’s a flashier, more fluid evolution of IO’s original template – a rewarding conclusion to one of the most unique video game franchises around, and one we’ll continue playing for many weeks and months to come.
Hitman 3 is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as Google Stadia and Nintendo Switch.
