The final entry in IO Interactive's 'soft-reboot trilogy' (yes, that is actually a thing) looks set to finish the latest Hitman series in style.

And style is really what Hitman has always been about. Players fortunate enough to have played as Agent 47, Hitman's iconic bar-coded baldy protagonist, will have experienced some of the the most deliciously satisfying missions in videogame history.

As the name implies, Hitman is at its best when it asks you to operate like a professional assassin. Why shoot a target when you can drop a chandelier on their head? Or, better yet, their lover, in a two for one deal? (If that doesn't provoke a guilty laugh, these games may not be for you).

Previews of Hitman 3 indicate that IO haven't lost their touch when it comes to ingenious level design, and Agent 47's latest adventure should be the perfect series swansong before IO apply their magic touch to the 007 franchise. (A game that's already a shoe-in for "Most Anticipated Games of 2022").
