Hitman World of Assassination is coming to PSVR 2 in December
The revamped Hitman World of Assassination is coming to PSVR 2 in December, IO Interactive has revealed, bringing dual wielding and plenty more VR-native tweaks to console VR.
Hitman 3 VR Reloaded launched for Meta Quest 3 earlier this year, developed by XR Games in collaboration with IO Interactive. The game in VR includes more movement options to make getting through the game as natural as possible, and reworked the UI with this in mind as well. Much of the gameplay will remain familiar, but one key new feature is the ability to dual-wield, so players can us a weapon or item in each hand.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that Hitman has come to VR, and not even PSVR, as Hitman 3 feature a VR mode for PlayStation VR and, a few months after release, for PC VR. That was created by a small team within IO Interactive, and featured its own set of VR accommodations, such as reworking the cover system and using free-form movement for melee instead of scripted animations.
Hitman 3 first launched back in early 2021, a concluding chapter to the ambitious trilogy that IO Interactive had started five years previous. In our Hitman 3 review, Jim said, “Charting the series’ progress since that 2016 Paris debut has been a fascinating journey. IO have learned a lot over the past five years and that really shows in Hitman 3. It’s a flashier, more fluid evolution of IO’s original template – a rewarding conclusion to one of the most unique video game franchises around, and one we’ll continue playing for many weeks and months to come.”
