In 2015, we shared our vision for the World of Assassination; an ever-expanding game that would evolve over time and be the foundation for future Hitman games. Those were the exact words we used and a central promise to how we’ve released the three games in the 7 years that followed. Hitman World of Assassination includes Hitman 1, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3.

Featuring six meticulously detailed locations packed full of creative opportunities, Hitman World of Assassination 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 World of Assassination 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 World of Assassination can be enjoyed across all three games, making Hitman World of Assassination the ultimate place to play the entire World of Assassination trilogy.

IO Interactive is thrilled to announce that Hitman World of Assassination has surpassed the milestone of 75 million players worldwide since its launch, ensuring even more its status as the most successful Hitman game of all time.

Hitman World of Assassination has known resounding success since the launch of the first part of the new trilogy in 2016, ushering a new take on the franchise, offering a unique blend of stealth action, groundbreaking freedom of approach, and a living, breathing world, filled with intriguing characters and lethal opportunities.

Since its release, Hitman World of Assassination has continued to introduce a vast array of live content, including new locations, contracts, seasonal events, and collaborations, expanding Hitman’s narrative. With 1 million active players in December 2024, Hitman World of Assassination remains as popular as ever thanks to its constant additions and a dedicated community. With more content planned to come to Hitman World of Assassination in 2025, players can continue to look forward to more and more hours of Hitman to enjoy.

The latest content addition to Hitman launched on the 12th of December 2024 and saw blockbuster action star Jean-Claude Van Damme join Hitman World of Assassination as the Elusive Target Max Valliant, a former ICA operative believed to have been eliminated years ago after it was discovered he was dealing with other secret organizations.

So far, the mission has been completed by 40% of the players having tried their hand at taking down The Splitter, meaning that Max Valliant’s legendary skills have proven to be quite the menace for the players.

Those who have succeeded in taking down the rogue operative have taken various ways to get to their end. For example, the longest player, who took more than 7 hours to complete the mission, made sure their plan did not suffer any missing piece before finally pulling the trigger. On the other hand, the quickest player did not give a chance to Max Valliant to say any last words, ending the mission in no more than 21 seconds. As always in Hitman World of Assassination, players have complete freedom to execute their mission as they see fit, with players even able to use a single apricot to take down Max Valliant. With only week to go, before the Elusive Target vanishes on January 12th, it’s now or never to uncover Valliant’s scheme and take him down.

Hitman World of Assassination’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 World of Assassination 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?
