Speaking on his role, Van Damme commented:
Max Valliant is quite the entertaining character, bringing a lot of action movie villain energy, he is ruthless, and of course, he can do the split! The Splitter is a thrilling mission and like in any good action flick, Hitman players will have a few surprises, but I’ll let them find out by themselves.
The Splitter Pack DLC will be released on £3.99, IO Interactive added, and includes permanent access to a two-level Arcade contract featuring The Splitter known as Replication, The Splitter SMG, The Splitter Kukri Knife, The Good Quar Vol. 3 VHS Tape, and six cosmetics for the Freelancer Safehouse inspired by the Elusive Target.
Hitman World of Assassination is now available for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. IO Interactive recently revealed that the studio had parted ways with MMA fighter Conor McGregor after the athlete was convicted of sexual assault.
