Stealth assassination game where you play Agent 47, a contract killer now working outside his former employer. The setup: betrayed by the organization that trained you, hunted by law enforcement, chasing a personal objective through criminal underworlds. You'll infiltrate locations, identify targets, and execute hits using disguises, environmental traps, or direct methods. The series' signature approach—planning routes, blending into crowds, staging accidents—returns with additions to close-quarters combat and a scoring system that rates your performance. Levels range from urban hotels to rural compounds, each offering multiple paths to your mark. Expect a darker tone than earlier entries, with cutscenes driving a conspiracy plot. Best for players who enjoy methodical problem-solving over run-and-gun action.
