A brand new trailer just dropped for Hitman 3 which demonstrates just how multi-talented you can be as Agent 47. Plus best of all, elevators are back.
After Cyberpunk 2077 is finally released later this week, we will all be able to breathe a sigh of relief as that will bring the curtain down on 2020's major releases. And what a year it has been on that front. The powers-that-be in charge of deciding what will be 2020's Game of the Year have quite the task on their hands. Read why we think it should be Final Fantasy 7 Remake, or perhaps it will be Ghost of Tsushima.
Don't sit on your laurels for too long though as new releases will start to come thick and fast at the top of 2021. One of the first will be the much-anticipated arrival of Hitman 3. Fans of the franchise are eager to take control of Agent 47 for the third time. A brand new trailer for the game has revealed that you will be able to take more control than ever before.
Whether you have played Hitman games in the past or you're new to the series, many associate the profession with camping out on a rooftop with a sniper rifle. As you can see from the trailer, it is so much more than that. You will need to don disguises good enough to fool anyone who might sniff you out, and pretty much anything can be used as a weapon, including pretty expensive looking chandeliers.
Despite all of the beautiful looking scenery and in-depth gameplay on show in the trailer above, the thing Hitman fans appear to be most excited about is the return of elevators. The trailer shows Agent 47 dumping one of his victims down an elevator shaft. The reason some are excited about that particular snippet is in previous Hitman games, you were able to reach down into an elevator and kill anyone inside it one by one. You were then able to dump the pile of bodies down back where they came from, or dump a body down the elevator shaft. It's the little things.
Elevators aside, Hitman 3 is looking pretty good, and we don't have long to wait to get our hands on it. The third installment in the series is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC on January 20, 2021. Stay glued to TheGamer for all the latest news regarding Hitman 3 up until then and beyond.
