Furthermore, a photo mode is being integrated, offering new ways to capture iconic moments from Agent 47's early career. The announcement confirms that the trilogy will be available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

A Return to the Roots

The original Hitman trilogy laid the groundwork for the stealth genre, establishing Agent 47 as one of gaming's most recognizable anti-heroes. Hitman: Codename 47 introduced the world to the stoic, genetically engineered assassin. Its sequel, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, expanded on the formula with more intricate levels and a compelling narrative that explored 47's personal connections. Hitman: Contracts delved into a darker, more psychological narrative, focusing on the internal struggles and iconic missions that shaped 47's legend. This remaster offers a chance to revisit these pivotal games with the polish they deserve, ensuring their legacy continues to resonate.

What's Next for the Hitman Universe

While the Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered is a significant announcement, IO Interactive remains busy with its current Hitman: World of Assassination title. This week saw the release of the "World Champions" DLC, a World Cup-themed addition, and the popular rapper Wiz Khalifa is the latest Elusive Target, available until July 5th. Saber Interactive is also working on other ambitious projects, including Jurassic Park: Survival, Stuntman: Hollywood, and a new John Wick game, showcasing their versatility in the action and simulation genres. IO Interactive has also hinted at future installments in the Hitman series and is actively developing other major titles, including the James Bond game 007: First Light.

The Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered is slated for release in 2027. Further details regarding specific release dates and any potential collector's editions have not yet been announced.
