Intro
The Season of the Disruptor, featuring Conor McGregor, is soon coming to end, with many players having accepted the mission of taking down The Disruptor on the Isle of Sgàil, unleashing their creativity against the mysterious fighter. As we approach the final events of the Season of the Disruptor’s roadmap, it's time to look ahead to the next update for HITMAN World of Assassination.
The Drop Returns
Sep 12 - Oct 14
The summer music festivals are in full swing around the world, providing the perfect backdrop for Alexios Laskaridis to make his return as our next Elusive Target! The Drop, featuring superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas, will return to HITMAN World of Assassination from September 12th to October 14th. This encore gives players another chance to take down the DJ if they didn't complete their mission the first time around, or to find new creative ways to eliminate him. To mark the occasion, The Drop will be part of the Free Starter Pack, and a new The Drop DLC will be released, providing permanent access to the mission as well as cosmetics, items, and decorations for the Freelancer Safehouse.
A roadmap covering the duration of The Drop mission will be released when The Drop returns. This roadmap will include new challenges, and additionally, a new Twitch Drop will be available after The Drop's return begins.

Community Feedback
We have been closely monitoring community feedback for HITMAN World of Assassination and have implemented suggested improvements in past patches. We will continue to do so and plan to release further improvements and bug fixes in the coming months.
Moreover, we will also pursue increasing our communication on our official channels, such as the Hitman Forum, to share updates and gather your feedback. We have also populated our TikTok channel with more content and updates, with plenty more to come.
Community Events
We also wanted to highlight the Roulette Rivals 15 event which started on August 9th and will run until September 8th. As a reminder, Roulette Rivals is a competitive HITMAN event where players face off by completing missions subject to "roulette spins" — randomly generated mission conditions— as quickly as possible. The matches are best-of-three, with each player selecting a HITMAN map, and the first to successfully finish wins. This event welcomes players of all skill levels and is supported by a passionate speedrunning community. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or new to the game, there’s a place for you to test your HITMAN skills. More info can be found here.
