Ever since IO Interactive’s The World of Assassination trilogy received its final entry – HITMAN 3, back in 2021, fans of the game have been expecting more from the franchise. 2024 is the year HITMAN 3 will receive a VR adaptation, which is expected to elevate the game’s appeal by introducing new features and enhanced interactivity but also stick to the original storyline. XR Games and IO Interactive have joined forces to develop and publish an AAA VR title designed especially for the Meta Quest 3 headset.

What new to expect from HITMAN 3 VR: Reloaded?

The British VR game developer XR Games has strategically chosen to build the new technically reimagined HITMAN 3 VR specifically for the Quest 3. This headset proposes significant improvements compared to its predecessors, including the passthrough feature in color, yet is still quite affordable. Another great advantage of the Quest 3 is that it is a standalone headset, which means that players will have the chance of experiencing Agent 47’s story completely un-tethered.

The VR adaptation will offer the so-called dual-wielding, which means that two or more weapons could be used at the same time.

HITMAN 3 VR’s graphics will also be improved with a new cel-shaded style. Interactivity and a higher level of realism are the two main factors, which would enhance gameplay experience, as the given environments would be responsive to every action.

The user interface of the game will be redesigned in order to accommodate VR’s capabilities in regards to navigation and intuitive control. Thanks to the new locomotion options, players of HITMAN 3 VR: Reloaded will more around any environment with ease.

What’s the release date of HITMAN 3 VR: Reloaded?

Until then, both HITMAN 3 veterans and new gaming enthusiasts can continue enjoying the PC version and thus prepare themselves to be immersed in the VR world of Agent 47 through the Meta Quest 3 headset..
