Here's what we know and what to expect about Hitman Freelaner gameplay in Mumbai — especially if you're curious about playing this map mode:

🎮 What is Freelancer Mode?

Freelancer is a roguelike-style mode added to Hitman 3. The key features:

You take on various assignments, gradually taking down members of crime syndicates until you confront and eliminate a Syndicate Leader in a "Showdown" mission.

Missions are randomly generated, including contracts, syndicates, challenges, and the map where you start.

No saving during missions—mistakes can cost you mission rewards, equipment, tools, and progress.
