Like its predecessors, Hitman 3 is a stealth game played from a third-person perspective and players once again assume control of assassin Agent 47. In the game, 47 travels to various locations and carries out contracted assassinations, continuing the story of the last two games. The base game features six new locations: Dubai, Dartmoor, Berlin, Chongqing, Mendoza, and an epilogue set in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. Owners of Hitman or Hitman 2 are able to import maps, levels, and their progress into Hitman 3.
The new locations in Hitman 3 include persistent shortcuts, a new gameplay feature to the series. Each stage includes a number of initially locked doors that can only be unlocked from one side; once unlocked, these doors stay open in all future playthroughs, allowing initially closed-off locations to be reached more quickly.
The game features PlayStation VR compatibility on the PlayStation 4 version, with support for PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility. The VR functionality also retroactively applies to levels imported from the previous two entries. Unlike Hitman 2, there are no multiplayer modes, with Sniper Assassin being purely single-player, and Ghost Mode being removed entirely.
