"When we here at Dealspwn first got a look at Absolution in action, we were a little worried we wouldn’t have the assassination sandbox we had garrotted our way through in previous Hitman titles. Thankfully, when Jon saw it over at E3 this summer he put our minds at rest, saying he had been shown how players could approach levels in different ways. The remaining question then was if developers Io Interactive had ensured this freedom existed out throughout the entire game, and more importantly if the gameplay was up to the legacy of its predecessors. Either way, it was time to jump back into the shoes of the bald barcoded assassin and finally see for myself."
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.
