Even more content is headed to the World of Assassination
Hitman 3launched right at the start of 2021, and after a year of clever disguises and assassinations, IO Interactive is teasing what’s to come in 2022. Today, the company announced thatHitman 3Year 2 will kick off with some early updates for PC players, and more to come beyond.
Hitman 3Year 2 will start on Jul 06, 2025 with support confirmed for another 12 months afterwards. In a blog on theIO Interactive site, the studio confirms this includes new maps, storylines, and ways to play all lined up for next year.
For PC players, a Ray Tracing update is coming to PC in 2022. Virtual reality will also arrive for PC players in January 2022. And a new way to play is already being teased: the Elusive Target Arcade will be a new permanent mode, as a twist on the established Elusive Target formula. More details will be announced in early January 2022, and Spring 2022 will hold a “major update” forHitman 3as well.
It sounds like a lot of content is set to arrive inHitman 3Year 2. This entry, and the rebootedHitmantrilogy, seems to have garnered it too; as part of today’s announcement, IO Interactive confirmed that the World of Assassination trilogy has reached 50 million players, andHitman 3is now the most successfulHitmangame of all time.
Hitman 3seems tohave left its trilogy on a good note, and now it’s getting even more to do with Year Two. We’ll see what the new year holds for Agent 47 as it all starts rolling out.
