The arrival of Hitman World of Assassination makes its mark in the immersive realms of the PCVR experience. With a launch slated for March 27, 2025the stealth-action game would identify with the most aggressive redefinition of gaming ever seen- a dynamic twist in virtual reality.
While Agent 47 has been flowing through the palms of gamers for years, the new incursion into VR is not merely an adaptation; it is conceived as a fresh perspective. With the new technology enabled for PSVR2 and newer operations, the game promises better controls, better visuals, and better interactivity. Not only is this a leap for the franchise, but a real leap into the unknown for VR gaming, as well.
Stealth in a World Truly and Fully Immersive
To step into the perfectly designed shoes of Agent 47 and see the world from his eyes. Button-press assassinations to tactile interactivity-a micro major paradigm shift. Players won’t just be manipulating their surroundings; they will be engaging with them. Whether that means prying open a lock with a crowbar or snatching a disguise from a foe, these moments of corporeal interaction yield an unparalleled level of engagement.
Senior Game Designer Eskil Mohl perfectly conveys this innovation: the prior scripted actions never felt organic, like the game world was dead in your hands. While Agent 47 was handling the dirty work before, now the players will have a greater role in being the stone-cold killer that they are supposed to be.
A Whole New Gameplay

Thanks to tracking and user-friendly controllers that measure up to the PSVR2Hitman World of Assassination was able to adopt features such as full ambidexterity, manual weapon reloading, and dual-wielding. Even reloading a weapon has now transcended a mere mechanic to become a paused breath of tension and satisfaction.
The essence of the game still rests on stealth and accuracy, but in VR, this gun-blazing option comes with a newly found tactile charm. Combat scenarios that were previously considered a “fail state” most recently have taken away those subtle charms and feel seamless and more engaging. The holstering, aiming, and ballistics of moving works without pause to extend the immersion.
Places Where You Can VR Play the Original Missions Again
For veterans of the Hitman franchise, stepping into the game’s VR version feels like rediscovering familiar missions with an entirely new perspective—literally. Locations that once felt structured and confined in their traditional third-person form now expand into fully immersive, interactive playgrounds. Missions set in places like Colorado and the intense train sequences, which previously followed a rigid approach, now offer unparalleled depth.
With VR’s freedom of movement, every corridor, rooftop, and hiding spot becomes a fresh opportunity for stealth, strategy, and creativity. Players can physically lean around corners, crouch behind objects, or reach out to interact with their surroundings in a tactile way. The level of detail and realism enhances the sense of being truly inside the world, rather than just controlling Agent 47 from a distance.
This transformation makes every assassination feel more personal and dynamic, giving players more freedom than ever before to experiment and execute their missions with newfound precision. Colorado or train segments. Freedom of movement and interactivity enables the players to experiment in unprecedented ways in sandbox environments.
Inviting All Players
IO Interactive tries to incorporate the old and the new. For those who own Hitman World of Assassination on PS5, the upgrade to VR will only set them $9.99/£7.99. For those newcomers, there is the option of attaining the Hitman WOA Part One-VR2 Edition at a price of $39.99.

The PlayStation community is abuzz with anticipation, celebrating the franchise’s bold leap into advanced VR. While several PCVR enthusiasts may shed a tear about the exclusivity of PSVR2, the demo once again reinstates the point that console users can have the best gaming experience ever.
