It has been a long time since we've seen the Hitman franchise make its way to a Nintendo platform, but that changes today with Hitman 3 Cloud Version. This will likely be Agent 47's last outing for quite some time, so don't miss out! Get full details on the title below.

Today, IO Interactive is proud to announce that HITMAN 3, the long-awaited conclusion to the latest trilogy in its award-winning stealth game series, is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®VR, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch™ and PC (Epic Game Store).

HITMAN 3 is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy and sees Agent 47 travel the world on his dangerous hunt for the secretive organisation known as Providence. Together with his long-time handler and only childhood friend, Agent 47 must take on the most important contracts of his entire career via one last grand assassination journey. From Dubai and Chongqing to Mendoza and beyond, HITMAN 3 offers players exciting stealth gameplay, a captivating spy-thriller story and near-endless replayability in sandbox locations that are full of creative possibilities.

“The HITMAN 3 journey has been a labor of love between our studio and our fans. The entire IOI team has put all of their passion and creativity into creating the best HITMAN game that has ever been made. HITMAN 3 will ultimately stand tall as what IO Interactive stands for; a dedication that cannot be matched and an inspiring, never-say-die attitude. As a team, we are immensely proud to deliver HITMAN 3 to the world and see it as the culmination of a trilogy that will define the series,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive. “HITMAN 3 represents the clearest vision of the franchise to date and our studio’s finest work, and we’re excited to share it with the world.”

On next-gen consoles, HITMAN 3 supports 4K visuals, 60 fps, HDR and faster loading times. The game also brings refinements to interaction animation and AI through IO Interactive’s proprietary Glacier technology, which also boasts crowd technology that allows for up to 300 fully-simulated NPCs to be active in a location at once.

HITMAN 3 players can import locations from the previous games in the trilogy and have more than 20+ locations under one roof. All of the improvements to rendering, animation and AI introduced with HITMAN 3 can be enjoyed across all three games, making HITMAN 3 the ultimate place to play the entire World of Assassination trilogy.

HITMAN 3 also supports PlayStation®VR, with all HITMAN 3 locations and missions playable in a new first-person perspective. More than 20 locations from the World of Assassination trilogy can be enjoyed in VR when you play them through HITMAN 3.

HITMAN 3 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC (Epic Game Store) for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
