by Rainier on June 2, 2022 @ 8:58 a.m. PDT

Hitman World Of Assassination is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy, taking players around the world on a globetrotting adventure to sprawling sandbox locations, with Agent 47 returning for the most important contracts of his career.

Supported by his Agency handler, Diana Burnwood, Agent 47 joins forces with his long-lost friend Lucas Grey. Their ultimate mission is to eliminate the partners of Providence, but they are forced to adapt as their hunt intensifies. When the dust settles, 47 and the world he inhabits will never be the same again.

Featuring six meticulously detailed locations packed full of creative opportunities, Hitman III gives players the unrivaled freedom to complete their objectives in a game world that reacts to everything they do. All of this is made possible by IOI’s award-winning Glacier technology, which powers Hitman III’s immersive game world to offer unparalleled player choice and replayability.

Hitman III players can import locations from the previous games in the trilogy and have more than 20+ locations under one roof. All of the improvements to rendering, animation and AI introduced with Hitman III can be enjoyed across all three games, making Hitman III the ultimate place to play the entire World of Assassination trilogy.


HITMAN 3. Year 2. June Roadmap. 2022.

June has arrived, and with it comes new things to do, and a new item in scope to unlock in HITMAN 3. Let’s take a closer look at what’s to come in June.

June 2 Free Location Rotation: Marrakesh

Marrakesh is back on our free location rotation, giving all HITMAN 3 players the chance to take in everything that the Red City has to offer for a limited time. Originally released as the third episode of HITMAN 1, Marrakesh tasks you with eliminating two targets in the sweltering heat of North Africa. There are protesters surrounding the Swedish embassy, a bustling market to explore, a very persistent carpet merchant and plenty of secrets hidden in a nearby abandoned school…

Play Marrakesh for free from June 2 through June 12.


June 3 Elusive Target: The Serial Killer (Year 2 Edition)

Your target is a respectable businessman visiting the nice and calm neighborhood of Whittleton Creek, as he’s “considering” buying a house there. But unbeknownst to the residents, he is in fact a seasonal serial killer known as The Censor, who ‘grades’ his victims based on how much they struggled.

He’s now on the hunt for his next victim. Find The Censor and make sure he never grades anyone again.

The Serial Killer will arrive in HITMAN 3 on June 3 and be active for 10 days.


June 10 Elusive Target: The Gunrunner (Year 2 Edition)

The Gunrunner returns to Marrakesh on June 10. Your target is Vito Đurić. Among those in the know, Đurić is somewhat of a celebrity. He is a charismatic arms dealer and sanction buster with the reputation of being able to acquire anything for anyone. The ICA notes his involvement in almost every covert conflict of the past decade…

The Gunrunner will be active for 10 days starting June 10.


June 16: Elusive Target Arcade

On June 16, 3 new Elusive Target Arcades will arrive. And this time, there is a new hot sniper rifle in scope. Complete any of the batches, and you’ll unlock the White Ruby Rude 300 Sniper Rifle.

The Ruby Rude 300 Sniper Rifle is a “street smart”  high precision sniper rifle – decorated with a gritty, urban motif. So, take that shot to the techno thrill. Silencer and high precision Scope included.


June 23 and June 30: Community Featured Contracts!

Summer is approaching (in the northern hemisphere) and so are new hot Community Created Featured Contracts. First up on June 23 are the contracts themed “Heat Stroke” These will require some cool techniques and some hot eliminations.

Next up on June 30, are the “Hot Scope” themed contracts. In these, you’ll need to bring either your best aim or your best sniper skills. (or both).

How to get your Contract Featured: Well, there are many ways to get them Featured. It can be based on a super creative briefing, a cool idea or just a plain fun contract. But bare in mind: They have to be inspired by the theme to be taken into consideration.

Up for a challenge?


July 1: Elusive Target: The Liability (Year 2 Edition)

Meet Terrence Chesterfield, the world’s laziest building inspector. He doesn’t care if there are cracks in the ceilings or endangerments to the building – as long as he can give you a quick firm handshake, and move on. 

He’s on his way to Club Hölle in Berlin – you’ll have 10 days starting on July 1 to make sure this lazy man does his last inspection.


Hitman III’s sandbox locations give you complete freedom to approach your objectives in any way you want. As well as the new multi-function camera, you’ll also be able to interact with the game world in new ways to access new opportunities and paths through each level. Want to organize a meeting with your target? Check. How about opening elevator doors to access a new route? You can do that too and so much more.

As you explore each mission and complete challenges, you’ll rise through 20 Mastery tracks that will unlock new tools, weapons and even Starting Locations that will let you begin your next playthrough with a big advantage – possibly even in a disguise. All of the items and weapons that you unlock in a Mastery track are added to your permanent inventory, so you’ll be able to pick and choose from them no matter what mission you want to take on next.

Hitman III has been made with replayability front and center. You simply cannot see and do everything that a mission has to offer in a single playthrough, and the Mastery tracks keep things fresh as you take new approaches, use new items and discover previously unexplored areas.

Depending on how you choose to complete your objectives, you’ll be awarded with a Playstyle at the end of each mission. From the coveted Silent Assassin to a Hired Gun and everything in between, there’s a Hitman style for every player. Maybe you’re a Marksman?

Hitman III will have full PS VR support. Yes, that means you can traverse the outside of the tallest building in the (Hitman) world in PS VR! If you own the previous games from the trilogy on PS4, you can also access locations from them within Hitman III. That’s more than 20 Hitman locations from the World of Assassination trilogy to enjoy in PS VR.

You can either play Hitman III in PS VR natively on your PS4 or via backward compatibility on PS5. To make sure all PS VR owners can experience the game in VR, we’re including a free digital copy of the PS4 version of Hitman III with all PS5 copies, whether you choose to buy it via disc or digital.

Hitman III will look, sound and play better than ever with improvements to lighting, reflections, animation and AI. Chongqing also features full water effects, with details such as rain drops hitting Agent 47 and his clothes getting wet, all adding to the immersion of experiencing Hitman III.

On next-gen consoles, Hitman III will run in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR support.

Hitman III is currently available for Nintendo Switch (through Cloud Technology), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC (Epic Games Store).
