At least someone is accumulating their frequent flyer miles. Travel restrictions are once again unpredictable, flights will be canceled by the thousands, but Agent 47 still gives his AMEX Centurion a workout. The barcoded assassin in a Saville suit takes another trip around the world when hit man 3 gets a bunch of new modes in its second year. IO Interactive announced the news in a YouTube stream this morning.
Elusive Target Arcade is a new time-sensitive mode for hit man 3. Elusive destinations — brands that only stay for a limited amount of time — have been a mainstay lately hit man games. In the arcade, turn up the mode that is added for free hit man 3 Starting January 20th, targets are permanent, but you must take out multiple ones in a row. If you screw up, you have to wait a day to try again.
hit man 3 will also get a new mode called “Freelancer” in which you take out targets in a chain of existing ones hit man Maps that bounce from one level to the next from a beautiful mid-century hideaway. Your goal is to defeat an unidentified leader while eliminating his subordinates. Each target you take down gives you more information about who the leader might be. Targets are selected at random, so you can’t memorize a campaign’s layout. If you take gear on a mission and die, you lose it. Basically it is hit man through roguelike. “Freelancer” is currently planned for spring.
IO Interactive also announced details on this hit man 3‘s upcoming VR debut on PC, first revealed last November. (hit man 3 has been playable in Virtual Reality since launch, but only on PSVR.) The entire World of Assassination trilogy – the three most recent hit man Games – will be available on VR for PC on January 20th, with support for all the levels you can already access. On the same day, hit man
hit man 3, released last January for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, is the culmination of the modern World of Assassination trilogy hit man Games and the first to be released independently by developer IO Interactive. Allegedly, hit man 3 is a stealth game where you are unleashed in a sandbox and given a target (or three) to eliminate but hit man 3 plays like a darkly funny puzzle game as you spend time concocting unexpected solutions. (See for reference the grape press.)
Many of the levels – including an Argentinian winery and a Berlin nightclub that flipped that hit man script – were best in class. Others, however, left a sour taste in players, most notably the game’s final level, a drawn-out shootout on a speeding train. (Although initially I much praise at the train level and still stand by it, now that I’ve actually played through the modern trilogy I can totally understand why some fans balked at its action-oriented structure.)
Until now, hit man 3 has not received any significant expansions, certainly nothing on the order of levels that became instantly outstanding, shall we say, hit man 2: a handsome Bank in New York City, as well as a magnificent beach promenade Resort in the Maldives. Instead of this, hit man 3The post-release content of has been played on existing maps, including a series of challenges inspired by the seven deadly sins.
That changes this year. In today’s stream, IO Interactive confirmed a new location – ten seconds of footage at the end of the stream panned across a tropical setting – but gave no further details.
Unfortunately, IO Interactive has been absolutely grumpy about the slim chance of adding the best possible hit man Attitude: do a revival.
