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.

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 announced a new Elusive Target featuring the likeness and voiceover work of Mads Mikkelsen as the fan-favourite villain from the 2006 film ‘Casino Royale’.

The Banker is available globally on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and the newly launched Nintendo Switch 2, starting Friday, June 6th, to Monday, July 6th.

“Le Chiffre is a character I have always enjoyed – he’s calculating, cold, and ruthless,” said Mads Mikkelsen. “Bringing him into the world of HITMAN makes for a thrilling collaboration. Players can expect mind games, high stakes, and twists that only this character could orchestrate. To succeed, they’ll need to play their hand wisely.”

“We are beyond thrilled to welcome Mads Mikkelsen to HITMAN World of Assassination,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive. “Players are really going to enjoy this new mission, which marks the return of Le Chiffre after nearly 20 years. I’m excited to see our players jump into this small taste of bigger things to come in the Bond franchise from IO Interactive.”

Mads Mikkelsen returns as Le Chiffre, the iconic private banker to the criminal underworld, known for his mastery of games of chance and probability. A recent failed venture left him in dire straits, losing vast sums of both legitimate and illicit capital, and in a desperate bid to recover, he has arranged a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Monarchique in Paris. Agent 47 has been tasked with infiltrating the perilous event and will have to find his way to his target to prevent havoc being wreaked across the world.

To celebrate the recent reveal of 007 First Light, players who play The Banker Elusive Target and who have signed up for an IOI account will receive an exclusive suit to redeem in 007 First Light, IO Interactive’s immersive third-person action-adventure featuring an all-new, original James Bond story, scheduled to launch in 2026.(The Casino Suit will be visible on the players’ IOI Account profile at a later stage).

The Banker Pack – Available in Digital Stores (RRP: $4.99/€4.99/£3.99)

HITMAN - The Board game Brings Stealth to the Tabletop with MOOD Publishing
With the ever-rising popularity of the Hitman series, IO Interactive and MOOD Publishing announced the franchise’s first-ever board game, bringing Agent 47 to players in tabletop format. In this one-of-a-kind multiplayer board game, players control their own master assassin, traveling the world to take on high-stakes targets. Just like in the video game, players have to take their target down in whatever way they seem fit to win the game. More information on the game can be found on the Kickstarter page.

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?

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 World of Assassination will look, sound and play better than ever with improvements to lighting, reflections, animation and AI.
