Over the last half-decade or so, the excellent Hitman World of Assassination trilogy has been one of the best-supported series in the industry. Whether it’s large-scale expansions, special tasks, time-limited goals, or additional climbing packages and challenges, the game has grown enormously.
However, Danish developer IO Interactive has been surprisingly calm about its plans after the release of Hitman 3 and we have started to think that maybe it would not have any. That is not the case, fortunately, but it has not yet decided what it will be like. Speaking to an interview with The Gamer, executive producer Forest Swartout Large said the team is “continuously working on Hitman.”
“We’ll definitely do some DLC, but we haven’t defined what it is,” he said. “I don’t think we’re looking at new maps like the Bank and Haven Island right now. We’re looking more at using existing locations and reinventing and twisting them. And this time, we can use the whole trilogy. We can look back at the maps of Hitman 2016, the maps of Hitman 2: we have all the locations “.
IO Interactive has created missions in the past that use the same general areas, but that change the time of day and your goals. Some scenes have also been completely reinvented, such as the film set in Sapienza or the Halloween climbing in Hawke’s Bay. We would definitely like to see more of this kind of stuff and think it would be fun to permanently recover all the elusive targets.
What kind of post-release content would you like to see from Hitman 3? As Large says, the developer could do a lot of uploading, so while we appreciate that it focuses primarily on Project 007 right now, we expect it to be added to the already huge World of Assassination trilogy for a while.
