Obviously, theHitman 3campaign remains the major focus for the team. That’s the series' bread-and-butter. You can’t expect them to change that with the final entry inthis current trilogy. However, it’s far from the only way to play.
Elusive Targets have always been one of the most exciting ways to playHitman. They return, though the team is committed to making some changes. IOI just isn’t ready to reveal exactly what those are yet. Contracts and Escalations are also sticking around. For franchise newbies, Escalations slowly add new wrinkles to a hit, forcing you to learn the ins-and-outs of each map. Contracts let you set up your own special hits, which you can then share with your friends.
The team is also bringing back the Sniper Assassin mode; however, this go-around you’ll only be able to play it solo. IOI is also sunsetting theHitman 2co-op servers, so you won’t be able to play the mode through multiplayer anymore.
Finally,Hitman 3will not feature Ghost Mode. TheHitman 2servers for the mode are going offline on August 31. So, get in those games, if you want before it’s gone forever.
Hitman 3is set to drop in January of next year for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
