The next chapter in IO Interactive’s stealth game features a fully clothed Agent 47
IO Interactive released the full roadmap for Hitman 3’s Season of Lust today. Sadly, it seems devoid of the sultry deviation some fans hoped for.
The Season of Lust is part of the stealth game’s Seven Deadly Sins expansion. In lieu of traditional post-release content—a la the wholly new, and excellent, bonus maps from Hitman 2—IO opted to “reimagine” existing Hitman 3 maps with new mechanics and missions. They’d have no impact on the main narrative, and essentially be alternate universe tales in Hitman 3, meant to explore the psyche of Hitman’s chiseled and grizzled leading man. Seasons last anywhere from a month to a month-and-a-half. You can pick them up piecemeal for $5 or as a bundle for $30.
Sins like Greed and Pride weren’t terribly intriguing; the entire history of fiction says that characters saddled with such sins tend to end up on the messy end of what Agent 47 is best known for. But Lust? Lust posed a world of possibility for the famously celebate Agent 47.
There is indeed a palpable chemistry between Agent 47 and his handler, Diana Burnwood. In Hitman: Blood Money, they even shared a kiss, but that was explicitly in service of the mission. Even though the series doesn’t shy away from sexual content, its main character steers clear of romance, viewing it as nothing more than a distraction from his job. Some fans hoped the Season of Lust would show a different side of 47.
