IO Interactive recently announced a major change to the Hitman franchise, as the previous three mainline releases are now to be grouped up under one name, Hitman: World Of Assassination.
That change will take effect on January 26, 2023, and on top of that a new roguelike game mode titled Hitman Freelancer will also be added.
We don’t know a lot about the new mode, save what can be parsed from a new trailer that was revealed through the PlayStation Twitter account.
You can check out the trailer for yourself, here.
The best part about this re-brand for the Hitman franchise is that it simplifies any confusion as to which version of the game you ought to buy, even if it’s a solution that seems to be coming later than it should have.
In other IO Interactive news, the studio is still working away at it’s 007 project, though hopefully it arrives sooner than previous reports seem to indicate, as right now it looks like it might not be ready until 2025.
