First Hitman Elusive Target Goes Live At 12 P.M. Eastern / 9 A.M. Pacific
Update: Square Enix and IO Interactive are giving you a head start. The first elusive target will be available later today, and here's what we know about him.
Your mark is Sergei Larin, a forger. You're traveling back to Paris for this mission, and you only have 48 hours. Remember, you only have one chance to make this happen. Good luck!
Original Story (May 12, 2016 @ 8:38 a.m. Central)
The Hitman series has always been a sandbox filled with opportunities for experimentation. You try, you fail, you try again. Not this time.
Starting this Friday, May 13, you have 48 hours to take down the first Elusive Target. But don’t expect to have your full suite of tools.
The victim won’t appear on your mini-map or in instinct mode. Information will be limited. If you die, you’ve lost your chance to finish the mission. The target can only die once, so make it count.
Square Enix says that it won’t give quite so much warning about these in the future, but because this is the first, you’re being given more time to prepare. Let us know how you fare.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
