Hitman 3’s Freelance mode has moved into the second half of the year, the roadmap shows what lies ahead

IO Interactive has announced that it has delayed the release of Freelance for hit man 3the new roguelike mode originally planned for spring.

According to the studio, after some internal testing and feedback from builds played by the core community, the team decided to take a little more time to “streamline the mode” and improve several elements to improve the gaming experience.

Announced back in January, Freelancer introduces strategic planning and a customizable safehouse. As you progress through Freelancer, more areas of the Safehouse can be unlocked and new customization options become available. This is also where your pre-mission planning takes place via access to a mission hub. You can choose which campaign you want to play, and after completing one, you can return to the Safehouse and stock up, replenish, and plan your next move.

With the change in the release of the Freelancer game mode from spring to the second half of 2022, the patch scheduled for April has been pushed back to May 24th of the month. With the patch, ET Arcade will be unlocked and Himan 3 ETs will be back in the menu.

The studio is also bringing forward the release date of the Rocky card, which was revealed in January. It is now slated for a July release. This new map will bring an interesting narrative as it takes place before the events of Hitman 3 and fills in some gaps from World of Assassination’s story.
