HITMAN

Hitman (2016) relaunches Agent 47 as a sandbox assassin again, building each location like a puzzle box full of disguises, routines, and opportunities. It is the foundation that the later World of Assassination games build on so successfully.

The 2016 relaunch reintroduced Hitman as a space for repeatable experimentation rather than one-and-done stealth levels. That change matters because the maps are designed to be learned, exploited, and performed in. Success becomes less about simply escaping unseen and more about understanding the machinery of a place.
