So after yesterday’s post I decided to take the rest of the day for myself, and to get my mental health in check. While doing so I was looking through my emails, and saw that a few gaming sites I followed have found out they are in the process of making a new Hitman, and this one will be called Hitman 3. The sites I saw the articles on are IGN, Games Radar, Rockpapershotgun, and Tech Radar. This makes me happy because a lot of gaming developers will drop a series after so long. Apparently IO Interactive has decided that they will be making a new Hitman game to add to their ever growing series. Nothing has been said to much about the game, but still it’s hopeful since they are still talking about it making Episode base like they have in the past. I for one thought that I’d never see another Hitman game after Absolution because I knew about Square Enix selling off IO Interactive, and many of the Hitman fans probably thought the same that it would never be done again. Then they released the one in 2016 that was set off in episodes, and then just last year they released Hitman 2, which also seems to be still releasing content for it. I have yet to buy those two games, but have been following them closely because I am a huge fan of the series in general. I first got it on PlayStation 2, and then bought the Trilogy pack of Hitman for the PlayStation 2. Something I will never part with. Even if I don’t play them on the console, I have also bought them on Steam Hitman Collection 5 Games Included and added them into my collection. Hitman Absolution as I have said in the past was a gift from a friend that I made in Second Life, and that is how I was able to put my steam collection for Hitman. At the end of this post I will be linking a video that I found very informative for those that are looking for more information about the developers and how they made their episode version of Hitman, and Hitman 2.

There was just something about this game when I first played Contracts that just drew me into the world of silent assassin. Ironically though Hitman did remind me of a movie series I enjoyed watching a lot called Transporter. Course I stopped watching Transporter after they replaced Jason Statham in the 4th one. For me once I see an actor in a certain role, I can’t really adapt to a new actor. Of course when I heard that the movie Hitman itself was coming out. I was a little disappointed that they couldn’t get Jason to portray Agent 47, because I felt he would have made the character come to life more and more, even though I did enjoy the movie Hitman, and own it on DVD, I still think Jason would have made a better Agent 47. Timothy Olyphant did a good job as portraying Agent 47. The voice actor for Agent 47 has been the same for 19 years. His name is David Bateson to me that speaks volumes when a company has been able to get the same voice actor over and over again for a video game. After a while some have either moved on, passed on due to illnesses, or whatever, but for this man to be the voice of Agent 47 each and every time is the best in my opinion. As I am sitting here writing this post, I am currently watching the video that I said I would link, because I am curious of the franchise and the development company that makes the game. The video is very informative and they do explain how they made the sandbox and why they went this route. I will be keeping my eye out on more information of Hitman 3, which is looking like a release date of 2020, which seems about right since they had Hitman (2016), then Hitman 2 (2018), and that means we’re looking at a possible Hitman 3 (2020). If you are a fan of the original series, and would like to get it. You can buy it full price on Steam, or wait for a sale as I’ve noticed that at the moment it seems to go on sale a lot.

Hitman was just another game that I enjoyed, and let me go around being a silent assassin, kill people, and explore in a single player status. Something at times I feel that need more in my life then say an MMO , not that I don’t mind the MMO’s, but I am one person that really enjoys the single player games as well. Plus with the update to graphics, and new ways to make something more and more beautiful, and it just gets amazing each and every time. The video that I have linked below is 39 minutes long, and it explains a lot, and gives a little teaser of the Hitman 3, and even mentions it along with “20 years of Hitman”, so that says a lot that they are thinking long term. They are keeping a tight lip on this as well because we all know that leaks happen, and they are not ready to drop the ball yet and reveal that information about Hitman 3 (2020). So I hope you enjoy this article, and will check out the video and watch the others they have on this series. Again until next time!
