IO Interactive have announced that the upcoming Freelancer mode for Hitman III is getting a delay.


Freelancer mode will see Agent 47 taking on a series of Roguelike missions to take down his targets.


Here’s what IO wrote in their blog post:


“We see Hitman 3: Freelancer as the next evolution of Hitman and an entirely new way to engage with the world and characters that we’ve built into the World of Assassination over the last seven years.”


“In short, this mode is quite expansive and involving. It’s built for players that want to dive deeper into what a Hitman game can be and for that reason, we’ve decided to give it more time.”


“The truth is that it’s a luxurious decision for us to make. Hitman 3 has been a success and with that, we’re able to give our team that extra time to tighten the bolts and make sure that the mode is as close to our ambitions as possible. We want it to land well and be a platform for Hitman players to enjoy this game world for a long period of time.”


Hitman III is an appropriate send-off for Agent 47 and it concludes the IO’s World of Assassination trilogy in huge style. If you didn’t try it out until this point, now is the right time to jump in and check it out.


Hitman III is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Google Stadia.
