We are excited to announce that the HITMAN Companion is now available as a free download for iOS and Android phones.
The HITMAN Companion focuses on keeping all players up-to-date with the latest news and makes it easy to get all the information you need about what’s been added to the game, direct from your phone wherever you are. Every week since the game launched in March 2016, we’ve released new Escalation Contracts, Elusive Targets and Featured Contracts on top of the episode releases.
Elusive Targets are a key part of the live content and the HITMAN Companion will make sure you’re the first to know when they are live in the game. You’ll be able to use the app whilst you’re playing to always have the image of the target to look at. That’s especially important because when you’re playing an Elusive Target Contract, you don’t have any assistance from the in-game map in identifying your target, so the app could be the difference between success and failure.
For every Elusive Target that is released, we’ll send notifications through the Companion, and you’ll be able to view the image, countdown and briefing video of the target for the duration of the contract.

The next Elusive Target
With the HITMAN Companion, you’ll be prepared for all upcoming Elusive targets, starting on Friday 15th July, when we release the toughest Elusive Target yet.
The next Elusive Target is Dylan Narvaez, aka ‘The Twin’, who will be in Sapienza for 72 hours. His identical twin brother, Gonzales is also in Sapienza and must not be harmed in any way, or the contract will be cancelled.
To complete this contract, you will need to choose your target with supreme care and come up with a plan to eliminate him without any collateral damage whatsoever to Gonzales.
The briefing videos for Elusive Target Contracts are of critical importance. Your contract handler, Diana, will give you specific information that will help you make sure to take down the right target.
If you want to review the briefing at any time when the contract is live - even whilst you’re playing the contract itself, the HITMAN Companion is the ideal solution.
Remember that Elusive Target Contracts make changes to the existing locations and use advanced AI behaviour to create a more believable and challenging experience for players, who cannot rely on what they already know from the location or on any routines from the characters in the sandbox locations. Elusive Targets were designed to be difficult and ‘The Twin’ is the toughest one yet! Plan ahead, exercise caution and don’t take down the target until you’re absolutely sure you’ve got the right one. Good luck!
