From its rocky start as an episodic experiment under Square Enix to IO Interactive’s daring leap into independence, Agent 47 has survived layoffs, publisher splits, and a complete technical overhaul. Today, the World of Assassination stands as a massive, interconnected stealth epic that somehow balances three games’ worth of content, a grueling roguelite mode, and cross-platform progression into one definitive package. We’re breaking down the wild history of how this trilogy evolved from a single level in Paris to a sprawling platform that paved the way for IO’s upcoming 007 project.In this deep dive, we explore every major update and expansion added to the Hitman trilogy since its 2016 debut. We cover the transition from Hitman 1’s episodic releases to the feature-heavy Hitman 2 and the VR-compatible Hitman 3.
