Hitman: World of Assassination is a beautiful game when it comes to virtual tourism, and one of the best destinations in the game is currently available for free. Sapienza--the quaint Italian coastal town from the 2016 Hitman game--is currently being given away as part of the free-to-play Hitman: World of Assassination starter pack. Normally, this edition of the game only gives you a barebones experience with the ICA training missions--and Sapienza on its own is a $10 purchase--but for the low price of absolutely nothing, it can be yours if you claim it before 9 AM PT / 1 PM ET on May 30.

Even after nine years, Sapienza is still regarded as one of the all-time best Hitman maps. It has everything you could ask for, from beautiful architecture to secret underground labs, and there are multiple ways to take care of the targets in this map. These range from booting scientist Silvio Caruso off of a cliffside after you feed him tainted spaghetti to disguising yourself as his therapist and smothering him to death with a pillow.
As mentioned above, you're only getting Sapienza and the ICA missions in this download. Hitman: World of Assassination has a confusing pricing model, as there are currently five different editions of the game to purchase with varying levels of content spread across them. World of Assassination is a compilation of Hitman 1-3, the soft reboot of the game series that began in 2016.
While the first Hitman game saw each stage released via an episodic model, Hitman 2 and 3 were full releases following IO Interactive's departure from Square Enix. Each sequel introduced several improvements and new ideas to the formula established in Hitman 2016, and they were also retroactively incorporated into the older games.
Developer IO Interactive is also working on a James Bond video game, which currently has the working title of Project 007. The studio is aiming to craft an original take on the world-famous super-spy, and the game was first announced in November 2020, and one of the confirmed platforms for it is the Nintendo Switch 2.
