The PS VR2 release of HITMAN is here, allowing players to enjoy all the original main campaign’s locations through the eyes of Agent 47*. The teams have been working at creating a new experience using the PlayStation VR2’s capabilities including the Sense controllers. With dual wielding, manual reloading, using sniper rifles’ scopes, and hundreds of different manual interactions to reinforce your immersion in the game, whatever way you choose to complete your missions; you will definitely have a hand in it. One of the other key additions is the disguise mechanic, which uses a physics-based approach to grab any disguise you want and then put it on. With only a few seconds being the difference between being found out by a security patrol or being welcomed as the new recruit, this mechanic will be a precious ally.
With all these tools at hand, plan with extreme precision, execute flawlessly and complete your missions any way you want, all in VR.
In terms of access to the PS VR2 version, players who already own HITMAN World of Assassination on PlayStation 5 can get an upgrade pack to the PS VR2 content, the HITMAN World of Assassination - VR Access, for $9.99, €9.99, or £8.99. New agents can access the PlayStation VR2 version through HITMAN WOA Part One – VR2 Edition, giving access to HITMAN Part One and the PS VR2 Upgrade Pack for $39,99, €39,99, or £32.99.
*DLCs and Freelancer mode are not supported in PS VR2
