The World of Assassination trilogy that kicked off in 2016 and put the Hitman franchise firmly back on the proverbial map comes to a satisfying conclusion by the end of Hitman 3. But, perhaps more importantly, how Hitman 3 ended paved the way for future installments.
What's the Story of Hitman?
Now, before we talk about the Hitman 3 ending, it'd be better if we started things off with what the game's story is about and what led to the events so far.
The World of Assassination revolves around the mysterious assassin, Agent 47, who is a contract killer for the International Contract Agency. However, after taking out a series of hits under Diana Burnwood, Agent 47 discovers that his kills weren't so random. Instead, most of the hits were members of the secret organization, Providence, with the Shadow Client, yet another secret organization, behind these contracts.
In Hitman 2, Providence somehow manages to convince Burnwood to set Agent 47's sights on the Shadow Client instead. Agent 47 agrees, but only if he receives more information about himself, in particular, his past.
After carrying out yet another series of hits though, Agent 47 finds out more about his past, which convinces him to work with the Shadow Client instead, who turns out to be one of his old pals, Lucas Grey.
The two of them find out that behind the Providence are three partners, as well as a second-in-command, referred to only as The Constant.
