New Game Mode

Two years after launching Hitman 3, the final chapter in the World of Assassination Trilogy, IO Interactive has revealed the cinematic launch trailer for the new Freelancer mode.

Hitman Freelancer, slated for release on January 26th, takes place sometime after the explosive Hitman 3 Epilogue. It’s set to be one of the biggest single-player updates in the game’s history. The new mode includes a customizable safehouse for Agent 47 and introduces a new style of strategic planning.

Gone are the days when 47 is supplied with necessary goods for carrying out assassinations. In Freelancer mode, the Hitman must instead prepare his contracts through his stash & by encountering NPCs that may act as help or hindrance.

HITMAN System Requirements

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: OS 64-bit Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz / AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / Radeon HD 7870
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 60 GB available space
  • VR Support: SteamVR or Oculus PC

The new clip provides scarce details about the new game mechanics, but gives players an insight into a cryptic crime syndicate & their seemingly impenetrable world influence. Agent 47’s handler, Diana Burnwood, returns once again with her iconic voice-over instructions.

New Rules with Same Playsytle

For the new campaign, players will return to 19 of the 22 locations in the series. This time, they must choose which order to play them in. After each mission, 47 returns to his safehouse; keeping in mind that if he leaves his weapons somewhere in the game world, they might be gone for good.

IOI interactive on Freelancer mode “Hitman: Freelancer puts the strategic planning of a mission into players’ hands. The game mode relies on randomized elements that are rolled independently of each other. It gives players all available information, but there’s no guarantee that an objective, for instance, is possible when on a mission.”

The World of Assassination games have proven since 2016 to be some of the best-supported games on the market. Hitman’s immersive sim formula has been refined & perfected with UI upgrades and a constant stream of new targets and variations on iconic mission locations including Berlin, Dubai, Dartmoor & even the Carpathian Mountains.

The Hitman games are supported by a variety of graphics cards and systems; start building your configuration today.
