In October, Hitman: World of Assassination is getting a substantial influx of new content to celebrate IO Interactive’s 25th anniversary. They’re also releasing a revamped version of Hitman: Blood Money as part of the festivities.
The game studio in Copenhagen finished its three Hitman reboots in 2021. Now, two years later, they packed all three games together and gave the third one a new name, calling it Hitman: World of Assassination.
Even though the Hitman games are taking a break for a while, the latest one called World of Assassination is still getting updates. IO Interactive(developer) just shared what’s coming up in October.
The Anniversary (October) Roadmap is here! @IOInteractive is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month! To mark the occasion, we have prepared a range of exciting new content including unique suit rewards!

There are two parts to the plan: special content for IOI’s anniversary and the usual new things every month. Starting October 5, players can try the Faster than Rocco challenge.
It’s about finishing a sniper mission really quickly—The Last Yardbird—in just one minute and 47 seconds to get a special Sniper Challenge Suit.
On October 13, a tricky new mission called Bad Boy will be revealed in the Sapienza level of Hitman: World of Assassination. Then, a week later, on October 20, there’s another tough challenge waiting for players: The Food Critic in Bangkok.
As October wraps up, IO Interactive’s anniversary goodies kick in. On October 26, players can tackle a bunch of challenging missions to earn the Retro Codename 47 Suit. This cool outfit has a unique old-school, low-poly style inspired by the original game from 2000 that started the whole iconic series.
On the same day, a new challenge called “A Nightmare in Hawkes Bay” is coming up. Fans will need to show off their Bat Shuriken skills, and those who succeed will snag the Jack-O-Lantern Suit just before Halloween.
On October 27, the game will introduce a new character, Alexios “The Drop” Laskardis, portrayed by the famous Belgian DJ Dimitri Vegas. Alongside that, there’s a special Purple Streak Suit, IOI’s first Twitch Drop, up for grabs during the developer’s upcoming livestream.
Hitman: World of Assassination is planned for a new update coming in late October. The update, version 3.170, will bring some handy improvements and fix bugs. The exact release date for this October update hasn’t been confirmed by IO Interactive yet.
