[109] One week after the game had been released, Hitman 3 's sales had already surpassed its development budget.

[112] Awards and accolades [ edit ] We’ve resolved an issue where branches from a nearby tree can be seen venturing through the concrete roof of the Delgado Mansion Garage in Santa Fortuna. We’ve fixed this issue in a surprisingly simple way; we’ve rotated the tree a little bit so that the angles line up and keep the branches out of the garage. The biggest advantage of there not being any revolutionary changes in Hitman 3 is that owners of Hitman and Hitman 2 can carry over their levels and progress to Hitman 3. There’s a certain tidiness to rolling the trilogy into a single product that I really like, and I admire IO’s commitment to keeping the previous games’ content alive like this.

When this happens, we typically release the challenges immediately to improve the experience for anyone playing the mission after that point. I can’t overstate how much this simple change mixes things up. Knowing a level may have lookouts who can see through my disguise, or that the target may himself be surrounded by assassins, creates a level of tension that is unparalleled for the series. Factor in that you don’t know what your target looks like and must piece together clues as you progress. With a couple of minor changes, the developers have created an experience that makes World of Assassination feel like an entirely new game when playing in freelancer mode.

The Mendoza location was IO Interactive's first attempt to depict Argentina in the Hitman franchise. The original two ideas for the level were a "tango location set in Buenos Aires" or a vineyard in South Africa. Both ideas were combined and Mendoza was chosen because it is an internationally known wine producing region. The company went to great lengths to create a fictional location with authentic-looking terrain and vegetation, to show the winemaking process, and to accurately portray aspects of Argentine culture, such as tango and the drinking of mate. As IO Interactive's associate producer Pablo Prada is from Argentina, he provided insight for many aspects of the level. The real-life Villavicencio Natural Reserve [ es] was an inspiration for the architecture of the level. Professional dancers were hired for the tango animations and consulted about the music. The designers reused existing NPC Spanish-dialect dialogue, which had been recorded with Colombian and Mexican accents, rather than recording new NPC dialogue with authentic Argentine accents, due to time and budgetary constraints, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. The company instead chose to focus on securing appropriate voice talent for the Chongqing location. [37] Talbot, Carrie (20 January 2022).
