We are proud and excited to announce HITMAN 3, the next game from IO Interactive. It makes us smile just reading that out loud. Here’s the brand new Announcement Trailer for you to enjoy. HITMAN 3 is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy and takes players around the world on a globetrotting adventure to sprawling sandbox locations. Agent 47 returns as a ruthless professional for the most important contracts of his entire career.

My affinity for the Hitman series runs deep. From Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, which I poured many hours into on the GameCube as a kid, to one of my favorite video games of all time, Hitman: Blood Money, that I happily played and beat again on Steam last year. For a time, I wondered if the Hitman series would ever return after 2006’s Blood Money.

Actor Sean Bean has played many roles where his character dies before the end of the film or TV series and now gamers have the chance to digitally kill him when he appears as a special guest star target in the video game Hitman 2. The Hitman games cast the player as Agent 47 who can employ a wide range of weapons to kill his target.

For Hitman 2, developer IO Interactive is once again bringing back “elusive targets,” the tough-to-assassinate characters that are only available for a limited time, and you only have one chance to kill them. If you fail, you don’t get another shot. Things are starting out with a bang for the sequel: the first elusive target in Hitman 2 will be played by none other than Sean Bean, an actor who is notorious for regularly dying in film and TV roles.

Recently, Warner Bros. announced that Hitman 2 would launch on Xbox One and other platforms on November 13, 2018. In order to become the perfect assassin, you have to blend into the crowd, exploit the environment, and trick numerous opponents.

IO Interactive and Warner Bros announced today that every location from Hitman Season 1 (Paris, Sapienza, Marrakesh, Bangkok, Colorado, Hokkaido) will be available as DLC in Hitman 2, and will be updated into parity with Hitman 2's new missions—that's with updated combat AI, new items, new difficulty levels, and so on.

Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer IO Interactive have announced a worldwide publishing and distribution deal for the Hitman franchise. As part of this deal, Warner Bros. will publish Hitman: Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which will launch in retail stores on May 18. Here is an overview of the game, via Warner Bros...
