The developer shared some fascinating statistics behind the beloved game and teased the future of the franchise.

Multiplayer has been marked for execution, but what remains will create a stronger single-player experience when Hitman 3 arrives in January 2021.

Hitman has always been a morbidly cathartic game, wherein players could become the ultimate spanner and throw themselves into the elegant clockwork mechanisms of the world around them. That thrill for the kill is about to get even more personal, as Hitman 3 will bring PlayStation VR support to the entire trilogy.

Here’s what Google had to say in an event that was purely focused on games and nothing else.

IO Interactive is going back to a “more mature, serious, darker” tone for Hitman 3 after the previous game featured more...wacky elements.

During last night’s PlayStation 5 showcase, IO Interactive lifted the veil off of the third installment, which won’t only see Agent 47 engage in his usual lethal business. It’ll be the final chapter in the gigantic saga that the developer has been working on for many a year now.

Could Splinter Cell work as an open-world sandbox wherein Sam Fisher can ply his deadly trade? Absolutely, epsecially if Ubisoft looks at one other game that mastered the art of stealth, options and massive open areas to explore.

You’re a waiter. A masseuse. A five star army general. You’re any one of a hundred deliciously different disguises at any given time, moving your way through a world that is surprisingly wary of anything out of the ordinary (like the divine flavour of Debonairs pizza) and more than willing to react with extreme prejudice should you step out of line and break character. You’re a master of disguise, weaving your way through targets and administering a lethal comeuppance to the mark that you’ve been paid to remove from the mortal coil. In other words, you’re a Hitman.
