Hitman: The famous briefcase kills come from a bug

IO Interactive prepares to launch Hitman 3 next 20st January and thus will close the trilogy "world of assassination"Started with Hitman in 2016.

Close to the release we were able to admire the previews of this unpublished third chapter. The executive producer Forest Swartout Large and the communication manager Travis Barbour, in an interview given to VG247, have defined that the new trilogy dedicated to Agent 47 has "defined their career", also thanks to the new "episodes" formula totally new to the franchise.

Also in the interview, VG247 asked the producers how they will balance, in the new chapter, i dark and dramatic themes with the spirit at times irreverent some quests have become a trademark. Barbour anticipated that there will be some "crazy" things within the third chapter, such as the attack on people with fish already seen in Hitman 2.

Other elements, he adds, such as the Hitman 2 briefcase bug have become fun in completely involuntary to be able to win, by right, a place in the franchise. For the uninitiated, the bug saw Agent 47 throw a briefcase at the targets, a really funny result that has "depopulated" on Youtube. The bug was caused by a "oddity of the frame rate on PC, ”according to Barbour's words.

Extravagance and bugs aside, Barbour says a team of six writers have been working on the third chapter in the pipeline and there will be, compared to the other two chapters in the trilogy, a "greater" amount of story and dialogue.
