IO Interactive is hard at work getting 007 First Light ready for launch, but that doesn't mean that work on Hitman has stopped. The latest Elusive Target for Hitman: World of Assassination has dropped, capitalising on the recent success of Resident Evil by adding Milla Jovovich to the game in a new custom mission.

Fans of Resident Evil who have watched the films will already be very familiar with Milla Jovovich. She makes a new appearance in Hitman this month with a new elusive target mission, available to play until the 24th of March across all of the game's platforms.

The elusive target mission, which first became available to play in late February alongside the release of Resident Evil Requiem, has gone on to become a fan favourite. IO Interactive says it is one of the most-played elusive targets, with players splitting their time pretty evenly across multiple strategies. Around 34% of players went for the direct containment strategy, using injectable vaccines to cure the virus, while around 36% of players opted to go down the darker path by exhuming Alexa Carlisle. Around 23% of players opted to neutralise Lilith Devereux early to prevent the virus from escalating, and another 21% of players managed to obtain the Silent Assassin rating through careful mission planning and execution.

If you want to keep the Patient Zero Requiem content forever, then you still have time to buy the DLC pack. Otherwise, you have until the 24th of March to play it for free. As always, new Hitman elusive targets are available to play across all platforms, from Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PS5, to PC, Mac and VR devices.

KitGuru Says: Have you been keeping up with the Hitman elusive target missions? There have been some very interesting ones over the past six months, so I highly recommend jumping in if you're down for a bit of puzzle solving and stealthy gameplay.

While the team are continuing to work on the upcoming 007 First Light, IO Interactive have kept HITMAN World of Assassination alive with periodic updates and new content – most notably in the form of their limited-time Elusive Targets. In alignment with the release of Resident Evil Requiem, the iconic Milla Jovovich has now joined the World of Assassination, with players having a little under a month to take her out.

Releasing a pretty hype trailer announcing the next Elusive Target, IOI revealed that Milla Jovovich is the latest celebrity target to join HITMAN: WOA, writing:

“Power leads to secrecy. Secrecy and power are now a global threat. Are you ready to uncover what’s buried beneath the manor and stop it before it’s too late? Milla Jovovich steps into HITMAN as the latest Celebrity Elusive Target. Play for FREE from February 25th – March 24th and put a stop to Lilith Devereux’s rapid rise.”

While this latest collab has likely been timed to align with the launch of Resident Evil Requiem (given that she was the lead in the classic RE films), Jovovich has had a strong presence across the board, with some of her featured films including 2020’s Monster Hunter; 2019’s Hellboy; The Fifth Element and many more.

Interestingly, this latest Elusive Target is one of the only ones to fight back, meaning you will have to be extra careful when taking her down.

While it is somewhat of a shame to see these Elusive Targets come and go, the concept remains cool and does give that sense of urgency which the team are going for. The Patient Zero Requiem Elusive Target is available to take down from now until the 24th of March.
