The team behind Hitman 3 A cinematic trailer for the next Freelancer update has been released by IO Interactive. This film provides additional narrative context for the recently announced free Hitman 3 game mode.
Changes Have Been Made To Freelancer Mode In Hitman 3
While Hitman 3 had elements from both of its direct prequels from the start, IO Interactive is taking the opportunity of Freelancer Mode’s release to further unite the entire trilogy. This is a welcome development for series regulars and a need since that Freelancer may draw on the whole back catalog of games at once.
Welcome to the first official patch notes for HITMAN – World of Assassination, the new way for us to refer to HITMAN 3 and all of the included content from HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2:

Despite the glitz and glamour of the Hitman 3 Freelancer videos, IO Interactive had to get down to the nuts and bolts of the mode’s new economy in order to explain the major changes from the closed beta. Better risk-reward ratios and fewer opportunities for auto-fail situations to activate are just two examples of how the playing field will be leveled out for players.
The developers have also reduced the number of gear caches strewn across the levels but boosted the amount of loot they hold. Therefore, they should be far more engaging and useful to the gamer.
What’s more intriguing is that gamers will soon be able to acquire permanent and enduring equipment for their Hideout. In the “Collectors’ Edition,” the player will have access to certain weapons and gadgets, and losing them will not result in their permanent removal from the game should the mission fail.
Overall, many exploits, including questionable NPCs in the Showdown missions, will be patched. It seems like the delays in Hitman 3’s Freelancer Mode were for a good reason, and the final product will be a lot of fun to play.
However, a complete rogue-lite option might not appeal to many players. The good news is that Freelancer in Hitman 3 will have unique costumes and devices to use as long-term goals; the bad news is that these items have just been shown in a leak, so it remains to be seen how they’ll be handled in the final game.
The appeal of the World of Assassination bundle, which includes all three Hitman games, is understandable. Those unfamiliar with the series should have an easier time getting started, while seasoned Hitman gamers will get to experience a brand new set of procedurally generated assassination campaigns.
Positive feedback has been received so far, and the mode will soon be available for everyone to try.
