IO Interactive has launched a brand-new Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination, available free starting today. Titled The Harbinger, the mission stars blockbuster actress Milla Jovovich and is playable from February 25 to March 24, 2026.
Players can access the mission for free in-game and through the Free Demo (previously known as the Free Starter Pack) across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR2, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, PC VR, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone, iPad, and starting today, Apple Silicon Mac devices via the Mac App Store and Steam.
A Blockbuster Collaboration
“Our celebrity Elusive Target missions are our chance to grow our storytelling methods within the World of Assassination, and this mission is no exception. Revisiting the Patient Zero storyline with an action star like Milla Jovovich lets us fuse 10 years of Hitman history with blockbuster talent,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive.
“I am very excited to join the World of Assassination! I am stepping into an amazing character with Lilith; she is dangerous, she has ambition, and a dark secret. I can’t wait for HITMAN fans to step into this new mission and uncover her story,” added Milla Jovovich.
The Harbinger – Free Starting Today
In The Harbinger, Agent 47 is assigned to eliminate Lilith Devereux, the ambitious prospective CEO of Ether Corporation. Though relatively new among the global elite, Devereux’s meteoric rise has coincided with the mysterious deaths of her predecessors and rumored relationships with powerful benefactors.
The mission takes players to Thornbridge Manor in Dartmoor, a familiar yet treacherous location that may hold unexpected surprises for Agent 47.Patient Zero Requiem Pack Available Now
Alongside the free mission, IO Interactive has released the Patient Zero Requiem Pack ($4.99), a new DLC themed around the Elusive Target. The pack includes permanent access to The Contagion, a two-level Arcade contract featuring the Harbinger Elusive Target, as well as the Breach Response Gear, the Bartoli 75S “Lucky Knight,” the Manypass, the Sickle Sacrificus, and four Freelancer Safehouse cosmetic items inspired by the mission.
Live Updates and 2026 Roadmap
A new content roadmap also begins today, delivering both new and returning content for players. Two new challenges, two Featured Contracts, two Twitch Drops, returning Elusive Targets, and special events are all part of the ongoing support. IO Interactive has also teased additional content arriving later in 2026.
