Hitman's Paris episode free over Christmas

IO ho ho.

Hitman's second location, Paris, will be free over Christmas and into early next year.

You'll be able to nab the French capital and all of its content from tomorrow, 15th December, until 5th January 2018.

Also included is the game's Holiday Pack, helpfully set in Paris, where you have to track down thieves stealing Santa's presents. (To be clear, you do not assassinate Santa.)

The offer is available on all Hitman platforms - PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One - and is in addition to the game's prologue, which is already free.

Hitman recently got a Game of the Year Edition re-release and a briefcase full of upgrades for Xbox One X. In related news, there's also a Hitman TV show headed to US streaming service Hulu.

Beyond all of that, there's at least one new Hitman game in the works.
