Hitman III developer IO Interactive has outlined the modes coming to their assassin sequel, and if you've played the previous two games it's a familiar list. However, one mode isn't making the cut, and another will see some changes.

In a post on their website, IO Interactive has given us some further details on Hitman III. Elusive Targets will return, meaning that there will once again be time-limited unique targets that you'll be able to track and eliminate as they pop up. However, the developer says that it is "making some changes to the Elusive Target formula," which will be revealed "at a later date." It's unclear what this means, or whether we'll have more than one chance to take down these targets in Hitman III.

Escalations, Contracts, and Sniper Assassin are all returning. Judging by IO's descriptions, these modes will be largely the same as what we've already seen in previous games, although co-op will be cut from Sniper Assassin, making it a single-player only experience.
