IO Interactive's assassination trilogy continues to prove that it's the gift that keeps on giving. Less than a year after the third game was released last January 20, the studio behind the critically-acclaimed stealth-action Hitman games has announced a smorgasbord of hype-inducing updates to help celebrate it's anniversary.
What's next for the Hitman franchise?
The beauty of IO Interactive's latest Hitman games is that the studio isn't afraid to introduce ongoing updates for free. This is largely the reason why the series has maintained its popularity over the past decade. So, even if Hitman 3 ended on a slightly ambiguous note, fans can still hop back in to find new content even if the trilogy's story has technically ended.
For its second year, IO Interactive has revealed several updates for Hitman 3. For starters, the game is getting ray tracing support on the PC. Meanwhile, other new content includes new targets, a brand-new map, as well as a unique Freelancer mode, which is effectively a roguelike game mode. But, what is perhaps the biggest revelation is the all-new Hitman Trilogy collection will launch on January 20 on multiple platforms, including the Xbox Game Pass.
