IO Interactive announces delay of Freelance release hitman 3a new Roguelike mode originally scheduled for spring.
According to the studio, after some internal testing and feedback from the version being played by the core community, the team decided to spend some extra time “tightening up the mode” and improving several elements to improve the gameplay experience.
Freelancer announced strategic planning and customizable safe houses in January. As you progress in Freelancer, more safehouse areas can be unlocked, and new customization options will be available. This is also where you can do pre-mission planning by visiting the Mission Center. You can choose which campaign to play, and after completing a campaign, you can return to the safehouse to restock, resupply, and plan your next move.
The patch orig inally scheduled for April has been moved to May 24 as the release of the freelancer game mode changes from spring to late 2022. The biggest change will be more than usual in months. With the patch, ET Arcade is unlocked and Himan 3 ET will reappear on the menu.
The studio also moved up the release date for the Rocky map, which was announced in January. It is now scheduled for release in July. This new map will make for an interesting narrative as it takes place before the events of Hitman 3 and fills in some gaps in the Assassination World storyline.
