Episode 4: Bangkok - Hotel & Rock Band - Release Notes

Episode Four Release Timings


HITMAN: Episode 4 Bangkok releases worldwide across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on August 16th at 13:00 CEST / 4AM PDT.



HITMAN: Episode 4 Bangkok sees Agent 47 touch down in Thailand as he tracks his next target to the Himmapan luxury hotel and resort, just outside of Bangkok. There, a world-renowned rock band has been recording their next highly anticipated release.

Unfortunately for the band, it seems that their lead singer and bassist - Jordan Cross - has been a bit of a naughty boy. He has managed to find himself in a spot of trouble; and must now pay with this life. That’s where Agent 47 enters the equation.

Note:

  • You will receive a notification message if the contract utilises episode content that you do not own
  • Access to the contract tutorial has been moved to the “Create Contract” page to make way for Contract Lookup

Detailed Weapon View
We’ve had plenty of people wanting to see more information about each weapon available to Agent 47 before he embarks upon any of his death-dealing excursions. We’re happy to say that we now provide additional information about each of these items prior to stepping across the globe into one of HITMAN’s destinations.

Episode 4 - Bangkok Release Date Announced!


HITMAN: Episode 4 Bangkok will be available on August 16th for PS4, Xbox One and PC. We'll have full release notes on the blog before that date, including release timings.

Checking In

While Agent 47 is quite the jetsetter, he rarely chooses to travel for pleasure. 47 is most certainly all work and no play. And so it is that he finds himself travelling to Thailand to bask in the natural beauty of exotic gardens, explore the Himmapan luxury hotel and resort’s exquisite interiors; and most importantly, take care of business.

With episode four, we are extremely pleased to be able to deliver a new spin on a fan favourite type of destination. Hotels have been a staple across many a Hitman title. A huge amount of people in the community love learning everything there is to know about the intricacies of each hotel; and we thoroughly enjoy creating these wondrous assassination locations.



Club 27

The "Club 27" mission transports players to the opulence and splendour of the Himmapan luxury hotel and resort, situated on the Chao Phraya River outside Bangkok. Your targets are rising rock star Jordan Cross, front man of trending indie band The Class, and Cross’ family lawyer, Ken Morgan. Both are currently residing at the luxury hotel as the band finishes its highly-anticipated sophomore album.



Rocking Out

When a world famous indie band, untold wealth, and Agent 47 come together; you can be sure that you’re in for an explosively good time. Whether you’re taking creative liberties with musical instruments, exploring brand new opportunities, unlocking new gear, items & weapons; or having a blast with over 65 new challenges: we can’t wait to see how much fun our awesome community has in Thailand.

As an added bonus, let's check out one of the tunes created by your first target in Thailand.

LIVE! : The Broker is cutting a deal in Paris NOW! - Elusive Target


Our 8th Elusive Target is now live on Steam! The Broker, a terribly troublesome antiquities dealer, has just arrived in Paris to make a rather large transaction. He's in town for 72 hours. This is your window to eliminate the threat and secure his wares. You will have one shot at this, so don't make a mistake. There won’t be any second chances.

This Elusive Target has two mandatory objectives:

- Eliminate The Broker
- Retrieve the Ivory White

After completing either of those objectives, you will not be able to restart the contract, so make sure to plan carefully.

You can view your mission briefing here:

It is imperative that you retrieve the Filigree Egg before making your escape. Failing to do so will result in a failed contract, which won't make anyone happy.

Good luck Agents!
