A new game update for Hitman 3 has arrived today. The first big patch since launch.
Version 3.11 (or the February 2021 update) brings one new content and much-needed fixes. One of the most notable ones is that Arabic text are now displayed correctly (now written right to left, not left to right). The translations have also been improved.
The one new content free for all players is a new unlockable suit. It’s the Tactical Turtleneck, which Agent 47 wears in the tutorial missions. You’ll need to go back to the ICA Facility and complete The Final Test to unlock the snazzy turtleneck.
The rest of the content release are for those with the Deluxe Edition, which includes new Deluxe Escalation missions that includes new cosmetic unlocks.
As for the rest of the game update, here’s some highlights of new fixes/changes:
- Improvement to Silent Assassin HUD (toggled in options menu, off by default). Now includes a yellow camera icon to let you know Silent Assassin rank is still available but you need to destroy camera evidence. Red icon (when Silent Assassin is failed) now shows in outline (helpful for colourblind folks)
- Reduced chances of Agent 47 going out of play area by vaulting in all locations
- Changes how “tresspassing” and “hostile area” location marker works. It will now appear during traversal moves like scaling walls and climbing pipes
- Improved HUD for VR mode
- Improved server connectivity
- Improved stability (less crashes)
