Hardcore Gamer: "Month after month, IO Interactive continues to deliver on their promise of new and exciting content for their latest entry in the beloved Hitman franchise. Aptly named Freedom Fighters, another fantastic IO Interactive property the UK-based studio should seriously consider revamping, Agent 47 is flown away from across the globe to Colorado USA where he’s charged with taking down four targets that are believed to be connected to the contract killings of the past four episodes. This isn’t coming from an anonymous private contract, but rather the ICA (International Contract Agency) itself as the plot continues to thicken on the individual who shadows Agent 47."
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.
From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.
Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
