In Hitman 3, after players complete their assignment in Dubai, they will be whisked away to merry old England, to Dartmoor, to step into the shoes of a famous detective, who has been called in to help solver a murder, but of course Agent 47 has additional plans as well.

The Thornbridge Mystery trailer focuses on just one of the Mission Stories available to players in Dartmoor. Besides playing detective and piecing the mystery together, you’ll have full freedom to explore and create your own plans. Today, we’re focusing on the ‘murder mystery’ element of the mission because it’s unique and something we’ve always thought about doing ‘one day’. We’ve even talked about Hitman games as a ‘reverse murder mystery’ in the past. Typically, a murder mystery tasks you with figuring out how someone has died, whereas in Hitman, you need to figure out how to kill someone. In Hitman 3’s Dartmoor location, those worlds collide as you can take on the role of detective to solve a murder and eliminate your target. Two birds, one disguise.

“Nick Price, Lead Writer on Hitman 3 said: Hitman missions are very complicated affairs with plenty of moving parts and lots of characters you are able to interact with in a huge variety of ways. In Dartmoor’s murder mystery, we are dialing all of that up to 11.

The game is coming in January of 2021 to Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The PC release is coming, but will be exclusive to the Epic Game Store for 12 months and if you have your progress from the first two games on another PC platform, you will still be able to import than into 3, to continue your missions.
