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, The Infiltrator, running from starting September 25th to November 20th.
The legendary martial artist Bruce Lee will, however, not be a target for Agent 47, but a key ally in his latest mission. In addition to this new mission, Hitman World of Assassination is now coming to PCVR players, with a free update available for all players owning Hitman World of Assassination on Steam.
Bringing Bruce Lee into Hitman World of Assassination is both an honor and a thrill for the team at IO Interactive. The upcoming mission serves as a respectful tribute to the legendary martial artist on the occasion of his 85th anniversary, while also presenting players with a distinctive challenge inspired by his extraordinary presence and lasting influence. As the Hitman franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary, this special experience has been designed to feel authentic within the world of Hitman.
Bruce Lee stars as Agent Lee, an operative aiming to infiltrate the Concord Union, a powerful criminal syndicate based in Hong Kong. The organisation hosts a secretive martial arts tournament, which takes place this time at the Himmapan Hotel in Bangkok. For this occasion, Agent Lee, a legendary martial artist, is back in action and invited to compete. His mission: win the tournament and uncover the identity of the Concord Union’s supreme leader.
While Lee’s combat prowess is unmatched, the tournament is rumoured to be riddled with sabotage. The player's task will be to operate from the shadows, identifying and neutralizing threats targeting Lee.
The Bruce Lee Pack – Available now in Digital Stores (RRP: $4.99/€4.99/£3.99)
The Bruce Lee Pack, a brand new DLC pack themed after the latest Elusive Target, is also available for a limited time only, starting today and until the end of the mission, on November 20th, on all platforms.

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!
