December is finally here and it seems  the developers of certain video games are prepared to bring the holiday season into their games. Today, we will talk about Hitman and the surprise that the IO Interactive has for the fans of this title.

According to reports, a new mission is set in a “Christmassy” Paris in which you will be able to dress your character as a murderous Saint Nick. This update will be released for the game next week, on December 13, 2016 and below you can watch the trailer:

Your character will be in Paris, a location where you will find lots of decorations and presents along with snow. However, it seems that not everyone from fashion show is there to enjoy the holidays as two thieves that have managed to get inside the building are now stealing the presents.

You will need to stop them — when we say “stop” them, we mean “kill” them. If you manage to get to the presents first, you will be able to open them and use whatever you find inside in order to eliminate the two bandits.

According to IO Interactive and Square Enix, this mission has made in order to support the “World Cancer Research Fund” and this is the reason why they ask players to voluntary donate to the charity.

Keep in mind that the “Holiday Hoarders” mission is not the only thing that will be released for Hitman during this festive period, as there will be a new addition added every week until the end of the year.

“Thing The First” will be added to the game first, which brings five new Sapienza challenges. Next week, the mentioned “Holiday Hoarders” mission will be added, along with a game update and a new elusive target. In the third week of December, the game will receive an escalation contract in Sapienza and there will also be a new Bangkok elusive target sometime during Christmas time.
