Hitman: World Of Assassination

It is the eighth main installment in the Hitman video game series, the sequel to 2018's Hitman 2, and the third and final entry in the World of Assassination trilogy. Concluding the story arc started in 2016's Hitman, the game follows genetically engineered assassin Agent 47 and his allies as they hunt down the leaders of the secretive organization Providence, which controls global affairs and was partially responsible for 47's creation and upbringing. The game is presented from a third-person perspective, with a focus on interactive elements in 47's environment. Some critics called it the best entry in the series and it has been cited as one of the greatest stealth games of all time. This rebranding included the previous two Hitman games becoming available to Hitman 3 owners, free of charge, along with a new game mode called "Freelancer". Like its predecessors, Hitman 3 is a stealth game played from a third-person perspective and players once again assume control of assassin Agent 47. In the game, 47 travels to various locations and carries out contracted assassinations, continuing the story of the last two games. Owners of Hitman or Hitman 2 are able to import maps, levels, and their progress into Hitman 3. The new locations in Hitman 3 include persistent shortcuts, a new gameplay feature to the series. Another new feature in the game is numerical keypads, where players have to find four-digit codes and enter them manually to open doors and safes. The game features PlayStation VR compatibility on the PlayStation 4 version, with support for PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility, Support for VR on PC was added on 20 January 2022. Players can earn rewards for completing contracts but if the player fails a contract, they must wait 12 hours before attempting it again. During the events of Hitman 2, Agent 47 and his handler, Diana Burnwood, defected from the International Contract Agency and joined forces with rogue mercenary Lucas Grey to destroy Providence, a secretive alliance of corporate executives, politicians and industrialists collectively wielding political, military, and economic influence. Edwards, however, later escaped captivity and seized the Partners' corporate assets for himself. Working together, 47 and Grey eliminate Ingram and Stuyvesant in Dubai during the inauguration of the Scepter, the world's tallest skyscraper, and Carlisle at her ancestral manor in Dartmoor. Discovering that the ICA is tailing them, 47 kills several ICA agents sent to eliminate him, before he and Hall decide to conclusively stop the ICA by exposing its crimes to the public. 47 eliminates Hush and Imogen Royce, the overseers of the ICA data storage facility in Chongqing, allowing Hall to steal and publish all of the ICA's operational data while deleting all records of himself and Diana.
