Hitman World of Assassination sets its sights on a PlayStation VR2 release this winter

It’s about damn time.  IO Interactive, during Sony’s latest State of Play event, revealed that Hitman is finally coming to the PlayStation VR2 in the form of Hitman World of Assassination.  Hitman III for the original PlayStation VR was a really great experience, so we’re excited that the latest generation of PS VR players also will get a chance to step into the stylish virtual shoes of Agent 47 soon.

Set to release later this year, Hitman World of Assassination will feature the full campaign in VR, and those who already own the PS5 version can get the VR upgrade pack for only $9.99.  The PS VR2 experience will include some additional features such as dual wielding, room-scale implementation, adaptive trigger support and “full ambidexterity”.  Either way, check out the announcement trailer and read on for more info and/or check out the official blog, here: https://ioi.dk/hitman/news/2024/woa-coming-to-psvr2.
