Step into the shoes of Agent 47.

We've known for some time that IO Interactive was working on the follow up to its latest Hitman reboot series. Now, though, we have our first official look at Hitman 3, with the game being shown at Sony's recent PlayStation 5 event.

The final game in the rebooted Hitman trilogy will once again put players in the shoes of Agent 47, likely featuring a ton of different locations, disguises, and crazy ways to take down targets. Here's everything we know about Hitman 3 so far.

What is Hitman 3?

Hitman 3 is the latest installment of the long-running Hitman series and the third entry in the trilogy of rebooted games under IO Interactive. Hitman 3 will also serve as the conclusion to the "World of Assassination" trilogy assembled over recent years.

It's currently unknown where the game will go in terms of plot, but an early trailer for the title implies that this could be the end of the road for Agent 47, especially with the tagline "death awaits."

Can I check out any Hitman 3 trailers?

So far we've only received one trailer for Hitman 3, which is its reveal trailer from The Future of Gaming PS5 event. In addition to this trailer, IO Interactive also showed off a very brief gameplay trailer centered around what players can do in Dubai.

What's gameplay like in Hitman 3?

Much like the previous two Hitman entries, Hitman 3 will see players figuring out exactly how they want to eliminate a target and executing it in the best way possible. In a blog post explaining more of the game, Tavis Barbour, the senior community manager at IO Interactive, spoke about gameplay, saying that it "encourages players to explore and interact with the game world in new ways that will reward them in future playthroughs."

With this in mind, it's easy to expect the same type of stealth mechanics that appeared in Hitman and Hitman 2 to return in the third entry. Be prepared to sneak around, dress up in new disguises, or even use unconventional objects like a pan or briefcase to take down any potential enemy.

What's the story so far in Hitman 3?

Not too much is known about the story in Hitman 3 so far, but IO Interactive did detail some on their website. Hitman 3 will be "the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy" according to the studio, and will take players all over the world to six "sandbox locations." Like Hitman 2, the newest game will launch in its entirety, meaning players won't have to wait for new chapters to release to finish the story.

More information from IO Interactive also suggests that Agent 47's will be joining forces with long-lost ally, Lucas Grey. Their ultimate mission, according to the developers, is to take down the partners of Providence, but things that happen along the way will force them to adapt. With this being the final entry in the trilogy, expect IO Interactive to pull out all the stops when it comes to delivering a thrilling conclusion.

Is Hitman 3 coming to Xbox One and PS4?

Yes. Not only is Hitman 3 coming to next-gen consoles, but it will also be releasing on current generation platforms as well. To make things even easier for players, IO Interactive has confirmed that players who own the original two games are able to import all 20+ locations into Hitman 3, and if you play the entire trilogy within Hitman 3, your progression will carry over. For example, if you unlock an item in Dubai, you're able to bring it with you to Paris for another mission.

Hitman 2 weapon progress and unlocks will also be carried over to Hitman 3, meaning that players who have done a ton of work in the past won't have to worry about not having the best gear when Hitman 3 launches.

What's the release date?

Hitman 3 is currently set to release in January 2021, although an exact date and price have yet to be revealed. When it does launch, it will be available on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
