This time, its ex-operative Max Valliant fell out of favor with the International Contract Agency (ICA). Once one of the most feared agents, he was thought to be dead, but suddenly appeared and captured the ICA data warehouse.

Vaillant is known as The Splitter, and who better than the master of splits could play a new target – the actor and 90s action star Jean-Claude Van Damme gave the appearance and voice to the character. See the trailer below.

«Max Vaillant is a fun character who exudes the energy of an action movie villain. He is ruthless and, of course, can do the splits! The Splitter is an exciting mission. Like any good action game, there will be a few surprises in store for Hitman players, but I’ll let them discover them on their own,” Van Damme added.

The Splitter mission will be available to play for new users of the free starter set and as an elusive objective for owners of Hitman: World of Assassination from December 12, 2024 to January 12, 2025.

Along with the launch of The Splitter (mission), a paid set, The Splitter Pack, will go on sale. It will include:

• Permanent access to The Replication contract in arcade mode, including the elusive target The Splitter;
• Themed submachine gun and kukri knife;
• VHS The Good Quark Vol. $3;
• A set of six cosmetic items for Freelancer mode.

In addition, on December 12, a new content plan will come into force, within which users will find three challenges, additional contracts, the return of past elusive targets, and so on.
