A video showing 5 minutes of gameplay from the upcoming Hitman 3 has been reelased. Here you can see the first minutes of the initial mission of the IO Interactive title in Dubai.

Hitman 3 is billed as “the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy , putting you back in the shoes (and elegant suit) of Agent 47, a ruthless professional assassin who will complete the most important missions of his career. The stakes are high and when all is said and done, Agent 47 and the world around him will never be the same again. "

In the video we see, in addition to pretty ok graphics, the new rendering technique of the Glacier Engine (used in the last games of the Hitman franchise), capable of putting more than 300 NPCs in a single zone.

“When we released the first game in the Hitman franchise 20 years ago, we set the standard for AI (artificial intelligence) in video games. We continue to innovate with more than 300 active NPCs in one area at the same time, further expanding the possibilities in this living world that players expect from us, ”said Clemens Koch, developer at IO Interactive.

Hitman 3 is coming to PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, PS4, and PS5 on January 20, 2021. It will be exclusive to the Epic Games store for a period of 1 year.
