GamingLives takes a look at IO Interactive's upcoming installment in the critically acclaimed stealth series at this year's E3.
"Hitman is one of those series that attracts a lot of heat from the media. It does not shrink away from violence. In many ways, developer Square Enix wanted to remind the gaming community that Agent 47 was the original assassin, and how did they do this? By making Hitman: Absolution kick some serious arse. We managed to get along to the Square Enix booth at E3 to get a first look at the level Streets of Hope."
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
This game is looking good, well done 47.
