HITMAN World of Assassination launches today for PlayStation VR®2
London, England, March 27th, 2025 – IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind, among others, the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise, has launched HITMAN World of Assassination on PS VR2. The VR release of the award-winning stealth game lets players look through the eyes of the world’s greatest assassin as they can explore, interact, and disguise themselves before executing targets in the 4K HDR display of PS VR2.
HITMAN World of Assassination is a celebration of the legendary stealth franchise that incorporates the very best from HITMAN 1, HITMAN 2, and HITMAN 3. Now, the series’ hallmark emergent gameplay and endless replayability are delivered in its most immersive medium yet with PS VR2.
VR fans and series veterans alike will take on Agent 47’s legendary adventures using a lineup of VR-specific features. Players can dual-wield more than 100 different weapons and use both hands independently to reload, holster, aim, and steal disguises. Full ambidexterity paired with intuitive motion controls allows VR operatives to express their creativity even further as they silence alarms or pick locks with one hand and dispatch threats with the other. This edition also features adaptive triggers, room-scale implementation, and spatial touch interactions through the PS VR2 Sense controllers.
The PS VR2 release supports the original main campaign’s 22 unique locations. Memorable global locales such as the raucous Club Hölle in Berlin, the sophisticated fashion show in Paris, the bustling racing event in Miami, and many more are sandboxes for budding assassins to master on repeat playthroughs. Players must learn the movement patterns of enemies and targets alike, as well as how to make the most of each weapon or costume hidden throughout every environment. For those looking for an immediate challenge, the Elusive Target The Drop featuring Superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas is currently running until April 6th and is available on PS VR2 right now.
