It’s been six years since the release of Hitman: Blood Money and since Agent 47 took a leave of absence from the world of gaming, we’ve seen Solid Snake get old, Sam Fisher get angry and the Assassin’s Creed games set a new benchmark in stealth action-adventure gaming. Considered to be a master of his craft, it’s time for the barcoded, bald-headed, well-dressed killer-for-hire to take on a new contract in the much anticipated sequel Hitman: Absolution, under the watchful eyes of Square Enix and IO Interactive.
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.
