Hitman 3 New Update 1.031

IO Interactive has released a new Hitman 3 update today on all platforms, and this sees the return of Le Chiffre from Casino Royale as an Elusive Target. If you missed this challenge back in June, this is your chance to complete it again, and yes, it will still include an exclusive reward for IO Interactive’s in-development game, 007: First Light!

Console gamers should see today’s download appear as Hitman 3 update 1.031/1.30, and this doesn’t include any gamepla-related changes. However, the free content drop should more than make up for that.

Check out the new challenge and the corresponding reward.

Hitman 3/World of Assassination Sees the Return of Le Chiffre via Patch 1.031/1.30

Background

Mads Mikkelsen returns as Le Chiffre from the 2006 film “Casino Royale”, the iconic private banker to the criminal underworld, known for his mastery of games of chance and probability. A recent failed venture left him in dire straits, losing vast sums of both legitimate and illicit capital, and in a desperate bid to recover, he has arranged a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Monarchique in Paris. Agent 47 has been tasked with infiltrating the perilous event and will have to find his way to his target to prevent havoc being wreaked across the world.

The Banker Elusive Target will be available starting today up to Sept. 14.

The Banker Pack will allow you to gain permanent access to this mission and get an exclusive suit and items. Indeed, the ICA has prepared some very special gear for you to hunt on Le Chiffre: 

  • The Banker King of Cards Suit: Have an ace up your sleeve? In this gorgeous dark ensemble, with a beautiful pattern of all four suits, no one will know what card you will bet on. 
  • The Banker Rope: Tie up your investment or simply put it in a knot. All you need to know is that this rope is sturdier than the Dow Jones. 
  • The Banker Silenced Pistol: A classic, sleek black pistol with a silencer to match. For the assassin who knows that the bling is not everything. 
  • The “Casino Monarchique” Chip (1.000.000): Uh-Oh! Here comes trouble! With a chip worth one million, what are you going to do? Cash in? Or join the rich and powerful and throw it away to distract the people. 
  • A cosmetic set for the Freelancer Safehouse 

As you can see, players will receive an exclusive reward for IO Interactive’s third-person action game, featuring an all-new James Bond in 007 First Light, when it releases in 2026 on consoles and PC.
