Hitman 3 Launch Trailer Sets the Stage for Murder & Adventure

Hitman 3 has received a new launch trailer ahead of its impending release, showing off all the places agent 47 will go in the name of murder.

Streamed through the official Hitman YouTube channel on Jan. 18, the trailer offers a glimpse at all the places players will travel to during the game, the people they’ll encounter and – of course – Agent 47 taking out a few targets in a variety of ways.

The locations shown include a night club, jam-packed with patrons absorbed in the music; remote stretches of wilderness, ranging from serene forests to scorching-hot deserts; remote estates that overlook an expansive valley; and technologically advanced facilities with unknown purposes.

Each of Hitman 3’s locales are stunningly beautiful, but for all their majesty, there’s an underlying danger. Most all of the areas are shown to contain weary persons of interest, guards preparing themselves for a showdown with would-be attackers or both.

Fortunately, Agent 47 won’t be alone in his missions. An ally can be seen with him in some of these locations, either standing beside him or dropping into the area to provide some form of assistance.

It’s all set to a haunting melody that’s as calming as it is foreboding, especially when one considers that the game has been touted as the epic conclusion to the series’ latest trilogy.

It’s a great trailer overall, and will give both long-time fans and newcomers a reason to be excited for the game’s imminent release. The full trailer can be viewed down below.

Hitman 3 is currently slated for release on Jan. 20 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC and the Nintendo Switch.
