‘Hitman 3’ cinematic trailer ahead of its January release
IO Interactive unveiled the opening cinematic sequence for the upcoming Hitman 3. As reported by NME, the clip will “reportedly serve as the dramatic conclusion to its World Of Assassination trilogy”.
Hitman 3 will be wrapping up the award-winning trilogy, thus bring the World of Assassination franchise to its conclusion.
Hitman 3: Here’s what we know
The two-minute clip is narrated by Lucas Grey, who you’ll recall is the antagonist of Hitman (2016). Grey informs the viewer that he and Agent 47 have uncovered the names of Providence’s three leaders.
“In their downfall, we lay the past to rest and just maybe, look towards the future”.
Now, there’s nothing else left to do but take the fight to the leaders’ doorstep. Also note that agent 47 is on the run, following the events of Hitman 2, which was released back in November 2018.

Disclaier: Hitman 3 has a Mature ESRB rating for Blood, Drug Reference, Intense Violence and Strong Language.
There’s a bit of good news too. If you’ve played the previous Hitman titles, you’d be able to import locations and levels from the previous two titles into the upcoming Hitman 3.
Thereafter, you’d be able to access the entire World of Assassination trilogy once the forthcoming title is released. Another piece of excitement to await: Hitman 3 will run on the new Glacier engine.
Hitman 3: Release date
Hitman 3 has been slated for launch on 20 January 2021, so you don’t even have to wait that long. The upcoming game will support 4K resolution and 60 frames per second (fps) on PC and next-gen consoles.
Furthermore, PS5 players can look forward to adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, thanks to Sony’s DualSense Controller.
The game will also be available on the previous-gen consoles: PlayStation4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. (It will also be released for Nintendo Switch as a cloud-based game).
