During Sony?s August 2020 State of Play, IO Interactive announced that every entry in its World of Assassination Trilogy will receive PlayStation VR support, including the upcoming Hitman 3. The announcement featured only a sliver of gameplay footage of Hitman 3 in VR. Fortunately, there?s now a bit more information to go on. Fans for the series may be pleased to learn that IO isn?t simply changing Hitman?s perspective with VR support. Some gameplay touches, small though they may be, are being added to the mix as well.
In a developer diary about VR functionality, members of the team hinted at some of the gameplay changes. For instance, if Agent 47 approaches someone from behind with a crowbar in-hand, players can swing the weapon about or even tap their target on the shoulder. The person in question will respond accordingly, before 47 delivers a fatal blow. Actions are contextual based on how the player moves in VR and not simply button presses like the standard game.
