Hitman 3 DLC will involve "reimagining" older Hitman levels

IO Interactive says it has plans for more murdery action for 47

stealth game, but this time around it'll look a bit different.

In an interview with misprinted Arabic text, etc. – but the team is also working on additional content. Large says the Hitman team is still hashing out the specifics of what it'll look like, but rather than building new maps, it sounds as though DLC for Hitman 3 will involve returns to classic maps from earlier in the series.

"We're more looking at using existing locations and reimagining them, twisting them," Large said. "And this time around, we can use the whole trilogy. We can look back at Hitman 2016 maps, Hitman 2 maps – we have all the locations."

Indeed they do, and so do many of their players – at least, now that some confusion about carrying over progress from Steam to the Epic Games Store has been ironed out. All told, Hitman 3 includes 21 total destinations now (if you include the training levels and previous DLC locales) if you own the full set, and those early destinations have all been spruced up as they've been brought forward into each subsequent Hitman game.

While it may be disappointing to long-time players that Hitman 3 probably won't be getting another standalone DLC location like the Haven Island, there's plenty of gorgeous real estate to revisit for Escalations, elusive targets, and whatever else IO Interactive dreams up for our bald, barcoded pal.
