Hitman 3 gets Steam release date

In 2022, Hitman 3 will reach its second year of release, and with it, fresh content for players will arrive. Year 2 plans for Hitman 3 were hinted a few days ago, and the new material has now been confirmed and disclosed. IO Interactive, the developer and publisher of the game, just issued a video reveal detailing the game's Year 2 DLC plans.

Many people are expecting that now that Epic Games' exclusivity is coming to an end, this game will eventually be released on Steam. Of course, some fans were genuinely startled to learn that the game will be receiving additional content.

VR Compatibility

Currently, VR is available for the game, but only through PlayStation VR. PC VR support has already been revealed and is set to launch this spring. It's likely that the release window will shift throughout the Year 2 broadcast, but it's hard to predict. Fans of other VR headsets, on the other hand, will be pleased to have the choice.

Game Modes

IO will update Elusive Target Arcade with a brand new mode called Freelancer. This single-player option provides a variety of storylines for players to complete, each of which consists of a series of missions in which Agent 47 must take down a criminal organization.

Elusive Target Arcade will be released on January 20. According to IO Interactive, it provides new methods to challenge players and create a unique experience. Agent 47's activities have become increasingly tense and dramatic. Gamers will no longer pursue one or two targets, but rather numerous, one after another. Throughout the game's levels, the Elusive Target Arcade adds new objectives and obstacles.

Freelancer, the second new game mode in Year 2, was shown off during the announcement live. Freelancer, a revolutionary new method to play Hitman 3, gives Agent 47 a personalized safe harbour. IO Interactive approached Agent 47's missions in a unique way, inspired by rogue-like games.

In Freelancer, the player will not be given everything. The information is incomplete, and not everything is ready. It will give a variety of experiences, and success will be determined by "talent, intelligence, and originality."
