This year, PC users will see a lot of improvements, as well as new options. After timed exclusivity on PlayStation 4, VR is coming to PC on January20th. That same day, the game will be available on Steam, now that theEpic Games Store’s exclusivity has similarly come to an end. The game will also get improved graphics, with Ray Tracing, Variable Rate Shading, and Xe Super Sampling.
All platforms can expect to see some new modes added to the game. On January 20th, Elusive Target Arcade is being added, which “mixes up the formula and introduces new challenges and unlockable rewards.” Players will have to take out consecutive Elusive Targets, and each contract must be completed before moving on. In the spring, Freelancer mode will be added, which will bring in roguelike elements. A new map, codenamed “Rocky,” is coming later this year.
In addition to all that information, IO Interactive revealed that Hitman Trilogy Collection will bundle all three games in a digital package on January 20th. The package will release on multiple platforms, including Xbox Game Pass, and more information can be found right here.
