Hitman: World of Assassination launches on PSVR 2 March 27

The Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy has made its debut on the PSVR 2, and reviews suggest it could be the best way to experience the series. This new version stands out after previous VR attempts faced criticism for bugs and graphics issues. Many players had a hard time adjusting to the VR format, but this time, it seems IO Interactive has successfully adapted the game for virtual reality. In a recent demo, players can step into the shoes of Agent 47 and take on missions in richly detailed environments. The gameplay involves realistic motion controls, including manual reloading of firearms and physical interactions with the game world. For example, players can use tools such as lockpicks to access restricted areas, which adds to the immersion. While players can blend in with crowds to strategize, this feature is designed to work best in third-person view. This approach helps players monitor their surroundings and avoid detection more effectively. The PSVR 2 version also introduces exciting new mechanics, like dual-wielding weapons for more tactical gameplay. Most of the content from the trilogy is included in this VR adaptation. However, some missions, such as certain sniper tasks and special challenges, are not in this release. Still, the experience remains smooth and visually impressive, even with some graphical compromises compared to the flat PlayStation version. The Hitman PSVR 2 experience releases on March 27 as an add-on for the original PS5 game, priced at $9.99 / £8.99. Fans of the franchise and virtual reality enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating this launch, as it promises to deliver a unique gaming experience they have been waiting for.
