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 is releasing a special PS5 physical-only limited edition 25th Anniversary Box for Hitman World of Assassination to mark the anniversary of the series, available at selected retailers this October.

The Hitman World of Assassination - Anniversary Box will launch on October 17th, with pre-orders opening today for $49,99, €49,99, £44,99 (SRP), and available at limited retailers.

Hitman World of Assassination – Anniversary Box is available for pre-order at the following link, offering fans a collector’s experience unlike any other. This special release features an exclusive shadowbox, a special visual for the PS5 game case, four highly acclaimed celebrity DLCs (The Undying, The Drop, The Splitter, and The Banker), along with a collectible Lenticular Art Card celebrating the franchise’s legacy.

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the Hitman franchise - the first game launched by IO Interactive, which introduced Agent 47 to players around the world. Hitman has been a central part of the studio’s journey, and IOI will be rolling out a series of initiatives to celebrate the milestone over the coming months, with the official 25th anniversary kicking off in October 2025.

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?

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 World of Assassination 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 World of Assassination will run in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR support.

Hitman World of Assassination is currently available for Nintendo Switch (through Cloud Technology), Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store).
