Announced during today’s State of Play showcase, HITMAN 3 will include PS VR support at launch in January 2021.
We’re incredibly excited to share this news! We’ve been keeping it a secret for a long time now and it’s a great feeling to finally talk about HITMAN in VR.
From the breathtaking start in a Dubai skyscraper to the final campaign mission of HITMAN 3 and the dramatic conclusion to the entire trilogy, it can all be enjoyed in first-person VR.
HITMAN 3 is the end of the trilogy, but it’s only the beginning when we talk about HITMAN in VR. We’re proud to announce that we are bringing VR support to every location from all three games. That’s right! Every location from the World of Assassination trilogy can be played in VR, when you play them in HITMAN 3. We’re working to finalize the specifics for how PSVR owners can enjoy Hitman in VR, and we’ll have more details to share in the months ahead.
As a reminder, it will be possible to ‘import’ locations that you own from the previous two HITMAN games into HITMAN 3, essentially putting all 20+ locations from the entire trilogy in one place.
HITMAN 3 VR will change the way you play the game by giving you a first person view and allowing you to get truly immersed into the rich and detailed locations that the series is known for.
Whether you’re in disguise and walking down the catwalk at a fashion show in Paris, enjoying the seaside in Sapienza or infiltrating a bank in New York, HITMAN in VR literally gives you a brand new perspective in first person.
You’ll stand face-to-face with your targets and look them in the eyes, blend-in to a busy crowd and hear the chatter and conversations happening around you and interact with items using your hands. For example, you can swing a frying pan in whatever angle you want to knock out a guard – and then use it to deflect any bullets that are fired at you as you make your escape!
We can’t wait to welcome new players to our World of Assassination and see how our community can use VR support to create unique and interesting ways to play our game. The launch of HITMAN 3 in January 2021 can’t come soon enough!
More HITMAN 3 news will be coming your way before launch, so stay tuned!
