Framed by Dexter for the murder of an innocent maid, 47 escapes the hotel that was set on fire because of Dexter and evades the police. 47 attempts to strangle with a wire Sanchez, Dexter’s enormous bodyguard, who proceeds to knock 47 unconscious. 47 learns from Dexter’s conversation with his secretary Layla that he plans to kidnap and auction Victoria to the highest bidder. 47 learns that Dexter is in the “Terminus” hotel and after evading Dexter’s henchmen, eavesdroppes on him. As payment, 47 is forced to give his Silverballers to Birdie. After eliminating him, 47 meets with Birdie, who briefs him about Blake Dexter, the CEO of Dexter Industries, who may have more information on Victoria. Shooting and wounding Diana in her home in Chicago, 47, rather than executing her, comforts the seemingly dying Diana, who gives him a letter and asks him to keep Victoria safe from the Agency.Ĥ7 hides Victoria at a Catholic orphanage, somewhere in Chicago and contacts an informant named Birdie, who asks him to kill a wealthy gangster nicknamed “The King of Chinatown”.
The Agency reforms under agent Benjamin Travis Travis assigns 47 to kill Diana and bring Victoria, a teenage girl in her care, to the Agency. In the aftermath of Hitman: Blood Money, Diana Burnwood, Agent 47’s handler with the International Contract Agency, suddenly goes rogue, carrying out a catastrophic sabotage that includes publicly exposing the Agency. It is the fifth entry in the Hitman game series, and runs on IO Interactive’s proprietary Glacier 2 game engine.
