Hitman Holiday Update Channels Home Alone

"I'm gonna give you to the count of 10 to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off of my Parisian island."

By Joe Skrebels

Two thieves. One big mansion. Lots of deathtraps. One (likely sociopathic) protagonist. Yep, Hitman's Holiday content update is all a bit Home Alone.

Coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC next Tuesday, December 13, the update gives the Paris Showstopper level a Christmas makeover, and then drops in a little jeopardy.

Two thieves are trying steal a selection of presents from the mansion, and it's your job to stop them by any means necessary. A nail through the foot will probably be the least of their problems.

Apparently, those presents are for 47, as he can open them, finding that "some of the content will be handy to get the job done", according to Io Interactive. Oh, and there's a pretty strong implication that that Santa suit is straight from the source. I have a bad feeling this may be St. Nick's final chimney abseil.

While the update is totally free, Io is encouraging players to donate to the World Cancer Research Fund in return - we very much recommend you do.
