IO Interactive has multiple teams, and at least one will continue to support Hitman 3 with patches and DLC after launch. However, Large warns that it most likely won’t feature new levels like Hitman 2’s New York bank level or Haven Island. Instead, the team tries to “use existing locations and reinvent them, twist them.”“We’re definitely going to do some DLC, but we haven’t defined what that is,” said Large. “I think we’re not looking at new maps for now, like the shore and the island. We’re looking more at using existing locations and rethinking them, twisting them. And this time we can use the whole trilogy. We can look. back on Hitman 2016 maps, Hitman 2 maps – we have all the locations. “
In our Hitman 3 review, we said, “Hitman 3 is rich, rewarding, and highly replayable. It’s an excellent installment of IO’s quirky yet beloved stealth series. The fundamentals haven’t changed since 2016, but the collection of excellent cards ensures for a refined, reliable and robust curtain – closer to the current Hitman trilogy. “
Hitman 3 has already paid for its costs within a week, so it’s no surprise that IO Interactive wants to keep supporting it.
