The mere existence of Hitman 3 sometimes feels like a minor miracle. It’s rare for each entry in a trilogy to have a different publisher, but somehow Agent 47’s latest trio of games have pulled off the improbable feat – Square Enix ditched the Hitman franchise (and its developers) back in 2017, Warner Bros. Interactive stepped in for Hitman 2, and now IO Interactive is going the self-publishing route with Hitman 3.
Despite all this behind-the-scenes turmoil, IO Interactive’s execution of their “World of Assassination” trilogy has remained remarkably consistent. The studio’s dedication to seeing their vision through is certainly admirable, but were they right to stick to their guns?

Since it rebooted its Hitman franchise in 2016, IO Interactive has been putting on a level design masterclass. Each of the missions the developer rolled out in what it calls its World of Assassination series has contained a huge, intricate collection of scripted and free-form systems that create harrowing moments, presented elaborate puzzles to solve, and allowed the player to orchestrate ludicrous and often hilarious situations.
