The eighth main installment of the Hitman series was announced on 11 June 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal event. Here’s what you can expect from the newest episode of the widely popular action-packed, stealth game.
Hitman 3 is solely developed and published by IO interactive and is going to be the third and final chapter in the World of Assassination trilogy. At the PlayStation game reveal event earlier this month, we got to see an upcoming game announcement trailer. However, the trailer didn’t show much apart from teasing a few new locations and confirming some returning and beloved characters like Agent 47. The trailer sure looks dope with some stunning visuals and great music.
In a recent episode of IOI monthly, streamed on Twitch, we got to see the community developer Clemens Koch and community manager Travis Barbour sit down to talk more about the game. Their walkthrough of what IO interactive has already revealed to us gave us better insight into what can be expected from the upcoming game. A few interesting details were also revealed during the episode.
This is the final installment of the World Of Assassination trilogy, and fans are expecting a dramatic conclusion. The gameplay will take players to exotic locations and adventures across the globe. Hitman 3 is scheduled to feature 6 different sandbox locations, Dubai is one of them. According to community leads, a segment of the game will involve players trying to surmount the tallest skyscraper in the world, while playing as the ruthless Agent 47. Dubai, the game’s starting location, is also the only location revealed by the developers.
