As Hitman takes a hiatus, IO Interactive shares details of its James Bond game

March 19, 2023VG247

Still no release date, though. We might not be getting a new Hitman for a while, but IO Interactive does have a James Bond game on the way, and has shared a few more details. IO Interactive’s Bond game was first announced almost three years ago, and we haven’t really heard much about it since then. The studio also recently shared that Hitman is on a bit of a hiatus, at least in terms of a new game. But in an interview with Eurogamer though, chief creative officer and co-owner of IO Interactive Christian Elverdam and fellow co-owner Hakan Abrak…

Hitman 3 to become World Of Assassination, will include entire trilogy of missions

January 3, 2023RockPaperShotgun

Hitman 3 will be renamed Hitman World Of Assassination, and Hitman 1 and 2 will be delisted from sale. These changes are Io Interactive’s solution to the currently messy process of buying Hitman games or working out what you already own. From January 26th, when these changes take effect, there will be just two Hitman packages for sale. This might mean that you’re getting some existing content for free, and it will mean that future DLC purchases should cost less. Read more

Hitman 3 Winter Roadmap outlines what to expect through January

December 2, 2022VG247

Freelancer is finally on the roadmap. IO Interactive has provided a roadmap for Hitman 3 through January 26. Yesterday, the Holiday Hoarders event kicked off, sprucing up Paris for the festive period and providing you with two unlocks. The first unlock is Lil’ Flashy, a small robot toy that can help with certain assassinations.

Hitman 3’s Freelancer mode has seen another delay

October 5, 2022VG247

IO Interactive has announced it has once again delayed the release of Freelance mode for Hitman 3. Originally slated for spring before being moved to the second half of this year, IO states that while the mode is “almost ready,” there are a few more things to be certain of before Freelancer launches. Hitman 3 – Ambrose Island (Opening Cinematic) To that end, the studio plans to host a Freelancer closed technical test for the rogue-like mode. In early November, the IO will selectively invite Hitman 3 players on Steam to put the mode through its paces. While participating in…

We almost got a Hitman movie directed by James Gunn

September 7, 2022RockPaperShotgun

The Hitman games are often good and usually fun, it’s fair to say, particularly the recent World Of Assassination trilogy. Ian Hitman’s turn in the two films released about his adventures has been rougher to recommend, though. That’s why it’s simultaneously disappointing and awesome to learn that Guardians Of The Galaxy, The Suicide Squad and – shudder – Slither director James Gunn narrowly missed his target when he pitched a Hitman movie.

Game Pass got me to download Sniper Elite 5, but its strong MGS and Hitman vibes are what have me hooked

May 26, 2022VG247

Sniper Elite 5 may have the appearance of yet another one of those, but it hides an ambitious and fun stealth game underneath. I’ve been guilty of skipping over the Sniper Elite series, and I know I’m not alone. I’ve played them all, though rarely at launch, and I’ve enjoyed them all to varying degrees. But I wasn’t particularly looking forward to Sniper Elite 5. The trailers and gameplay we got to see ahead of launch showed incremental upgrades and general refinements over its predecessors, but nothing that immediately stood out as something I needed to try. Sniper Elite 5,…

Hitman 3 players on Steam to receive free upgrades

January 27, 2022VG247

Hitman 3 players weren’t too pleased about the initial Steam release. IO Interactive is offering Hitman 3 players an olive branch after the release on Steam “didn’t go as planned.” It seems new Hitman 3 owners and potential customers were a bit miffed at how the game was launched on the service. The issue players had with the game was the various purchase options available for the Hitman games. One of the biggest issues potential customers had was the fact Hitman 3 was priced at $60 for a game without anything but the base content. To appease buyers and potential…

January 13, 2022VG247

The Hitman Trilogy is also coming to Game Pass soon. Hitman 3 is entering year two, and today, IO Interactive provided information on what to expect out of it.

Coming this spring, the mode features Agent 47’s Safehouse. This playable space is customizable as it allows you to choose exactly what type of Hitman you are. As you progress through Freelancer, more areas of the Safehouse can be unlocked and new…

The Best Christmas Video Games to play over the holiday season

December 24, 2021VG247

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, which can only mean one thing: over in the land of movies, people spend ages engaging themselves in the completely shite patter about if Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not. (It’s not, but it’s a great movie, set at Christmas – so feel free to watch at Christmas. Okay?) But what’s the video game equivalent? We started thinking about this and couldn’t stop, because we love thinking about utterly stupid, pointless things. So, as we head into the holiday season, here’s our picks for some of the best Christmas video…
