Today is all about confirming that HITMAN 3’s extensive post-launch content will continue throughout 2022 with new maps, new storylines, new modes and new ways to play. Early next year, we’ll share an extended look at our plans for HITMAN 3 – Year 2 with a full reveal of the new content that we’re working on. ## **HITMAN 3 – Year 2** Here’s a recap of everything covered in our HITMAN 3 – Year 2 Announcement video – and look out for more details on everything below and more in our full Year 2 reveal coming in early 2022. **50 Million** The World of Assassination trilogy has reached the phenomenal milestone of 50 million players and HITMAN 3 is now the most successful Hitman game of all time. **Year 2** HITMAN 3 – Year 2 will start on 20 January 2022, with post-launch support confirmed for another 12 months.
