In ourreview, we said, “As a final bow to this trilogy of excellent games,Hitman 3offers some all-time classic levels and a thrilling storyline. While some of these missions aren’t instantly replayable as Sapienza or Miami from past entries, it still offers plenty of evidence that Agent 47 is truly at the top of his game.”

The game has been receiving regular updates since its launch in January 2022, but, as for the future of the series, IO Interactive co-owner Christian Elverdam said back in March this year (viaEurogamer) that the nextHitmantitle is “a little bit on hiatus as we’re building another agent fantasy that’s also taking up a lot of our time.”
Elverdam was referring to the studio’s upcoming James Bond game dubbedProject 007, which is still in active development. “But obviously we’ll come back to beloved Agent 47. He’s still very much in the heart of this company.”
