Elusive Target #38: THE HARBINGER - Patient Zero REQUIEM, ft Milla Jovovich (25 February - 24 March 2026)

Starting to think Milla will be like a bio weapon that Lilly created. Maybe a very modified clone. I just hope Milla shows up in her likeness as advertise.

The resident evil movie do have an infamous number of clones and other characters played by Milla Jovovich,

And yeah, the haircut and dress change were visible since the fist countdown picture.

Until now, maintenance has typically been scheduled for 11:00 AM CET as a matter of convention.
This time, it seems maintenance will be conducted at a much later hour.
Is there a particular reason for delaying the time?

Also, considering the roots of this series, and the fact that IOI was finally willing to acknowledge it in WoA with The Splitter… :thinking:

This is the first time in months that I’m on the edge of my seat for new content. The horror vibe of the promo’s make me excited. I hope this doesn’t disappoint. :crossed_fingers:

Probably so it lines up with a ā€œPlay Nowā€/launch trailer that will debut at IGN Fan Fest, since IO is confirmed to be there tomorrow.

Has happened before that maintenance was delayed to coincide with a trailer at an event. Happened with The Banker - under the guise of ā€œemergency maintenanceā€ (which everyone saw through anyway).

I see, so you timed it to coincide with that event.
That makes perfect sense.

I was thinking about this today. The past celeb elusive targets ā€œunique killsā€ have been other people taking your target out which I kinda find tame when they are just getting shot or beaten to death we need something awesome

I did think maybe they will use the quarantine unit kill from sapienza if it’s something stored like a virus

Or, if they’re really gonna lean into the nods to Resident Evil, you arrange things so that an NPC blows the target up with a rocket launcher! They did it with the turret in Marrakesh, why not this?

Each ā€œX days until releaseā€ post have the following taglines:

4 Days: ā€œWhat lies behind the curtain of power and secrecy?ā€

3 Days: ā€œA career spent climbing the ladder needs to come crashing down.ā€

2 Days: ā€œPower changes hands quietly.ā€

1 Days: ā€œTomorrow, influence and power meet careful planning and precision execution.ā€

I feel like there’s some hints here. I should just wait and play the ET but the anticipation is killing me!

Interesting choice of words here, considering in the original Resident Evil game, or at least its remake, the day that the main protagonists were supposed to enter the mansion and battle the mutants inside in order to gather combat data was referred to by Umbrella as ā€œX Day.ā€ Considering that we’re experiencing a countdown to a special day of our own, I’ll borrow the quote from them here.

ā€œX Day is drawing upon usā€¦ā€

considering theres now a virus element i think it’s going to have a lot better kills

I’m sure, though I’m hoping not for accident kills.

How many hours till it’s live?!

I’m starting to get super pumped!

Yeah, and it’s a dedicatedly selected time.

The IGN Fest stream will come an hour before the maintenance ends. 007: First Light and HITMAN WoA are scheduled at 10th and 11th places. Assuming around 5-6 minutes per trailer, it does make sense.

I’d really like to not wait for the roadmap and they should just release it already but that’s just me.

But what do you expect? After all, for months now, there’s been the same loop, plus some unlock reskins. Based on existing roadmaps from previous years, you could easily draw another one, and it would be almost identical to the actual one.

More so little things, new challenge unlocks, and twitch drops.

I wonder if one of the new Twitch drops will be the drop that the winner of the speedrun competition at the end of last year won playing a hand in designing it or if that’s coming later in the year.
