On its release, Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded will add the chance for players to dual-wield weapons against a new cel-shaded art style. It will also boast an updated user interface, improved movement options and "more".

Originally launched in 2021, Hitman 3 brought the IO Interactive World of Assassination games to a close. We called it a "satisfying end to a beautiful stealth trilogy" in Eurogamer's Hitman 3 review.

"Behind Agent 47's myriad disguises I sense a faith in the self-defeating logic of the universe, a conviction that if he is patient and watchful, if he only allows himself to move with the flow, the planets will align, the walls will disappear, and for a second or so, the heart of the machine will be exposed for all to see," wrote Edwin.

IOI is now working on two new projects - including a secretive fantasy game, and a new 007 James Bond blockbuster.
