Agent 47 is going to be arriving at a new destination when the third episode of "Hitman" releases on Tuesday, May 31. The news about the upcoming episode was revealed recently on the official website and as expected, it kicked off a storm of anticipation on the Internet.

The arrival of the game on May 31 was made public on the PlayStation Blog where images and details from the episode were also featured.

In the announcement, Travis Barbour, a community content manager for Io-Interactive, explained how the location of Marrakesh will influence the game. He went on to describe how Agent 47 will be able to take advantage of "a maze of alleys, a range of souks that line the medina walls" of the city and use these to carry out his mission. It is also likely that the "signature rooftop terraces" of the city will become a big part of the story and players will find that there is a lot for them to see and do.

As for the mission, in the upcoming episode, the "Gilded Cage" mission is going to focus on two targets that need to be eliminated. One of these is going be Claus Strandberg, a banker who is taking advantage of Swedish hospitality in its consulate in the city of Marrakesh. The other contract that Agent 47 has is for General Reza Zaydan, and this is likely to be a tough one as the target is guarded by an elite gang of individuals. In addition to fulfilling these contracts, players will have to deal with more challenges and two new modes for contracts, which are named Elusive Targets and Escalation Contracts.

More importantly, as "Hitman" is an episodic game, reviewers have been scoring each of them as they release. The first episode, which was set in Paris, got a lower rating compared to the second, which was set in Sapienza. Therefore, many gamers and analysts are awaiting the release of the upcoming episode set in Morocco to see whether it beats the previous ones.
