47 went from looking like a paper mache mask in the first couple of games, to looking like aging Voldemort in Absolution, to being a photo model level handsome in the latest trilogy. Now that's character development.

I absolutely adore the damsel in distress that is Agent Smith. He's one of my favourite running jokes in a game series.

I like how 47 is one of the few characters where in the case of "two boys who became something like brothers after growing up together but one of them believes violence gets things done quicker and cleaner", 47 is the violent one. There's not many stories where the violent one is the protagonist.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Agent Smith being in the medical facility in Hokkaido. He’s locked in a freezer down in the morgue and gives 47 a master keycard to the level if he’s rescued

Diana loves that trick doesnt she, "Ah ha you THOUGHT I betrayed my beloved Agent 47 but secretly I am helping him all along so that he can be pointed in the right direction". And i like that she doesnt let 47 in on these either, she just has faith that he still faith in her

What I like most is the voice actor for 47, he has never changed and its like an iconic protagonists voice like max payne or even Duke nukem, lucas grey also had an awesome voice, I just wish we had more moving cutscenes with him

Seeing 47´s emotional  side disappear through the games is flawless. IOI really managed to pull of a incredibly hard task, that is making a TRILOGY of a game series that had essentially been ended.

Anything with a series that has lore to be compiled and explained, please don't hesitate to make these videos even if they aren't horror based. These kinds of content are amazing to watch.

Seeing the cutscenes from the early Hitman games for the first time, it's jarring how much better David Bateson's performance is compared to the other voice actors. He sounds just as good as he does in the modern games. IOI was very blessed to get him and to be able to keep him. Here's hoping he gets to return again someday.

i grew up playing hitman games i have a special fondness for the whole series and oh my god that hitman 2 ending scene "untouchable" where its revealed that 47 killed diana's family have stuck with me over the years i still go back to it from time to time.
such a great series and thank you for making me relive it again

I like that Arthur was more scared of losing who is than actually dying. In a way it is like dying without actually dying, like killing someone's soul but their body still lives. If you kill him, he dies having everything, being at his highest point in life, but injecting him ends up with him living the rest of his life at his lowest point having nothing. The assassin shows there are fates worse than death.

The voice actors of World of Assassination are impeccable. Grey, Burnwood, Edwards and 47 of course are just fantastic.

So sad Subject 6's story in this franchise was so short. He was the only friend of 47, Diana is as well, but she's different... she didn't go through the same torture.

Damn thats crazy i didnt know 47 had an opiate addiction. Having struggled with it a long time myself due to chronic backpain thats super relatable. His discription of the withdrawals is spot on too i get the exact same symptoms the vivid nightmares and anxiety are the worst part honestly i can deal with physical pain but mental pain and distress is fucked. I can totally see why 47 would have a very hard time getting clean especially when you've had a super traumatic life on top of pain that needs killing. Thats literally the exact situation im in, its so wierd I've played hitman my whole life and always felt such a deep connection with 47. Finding out we share the same addiction to deal with our pain and trauma just makes so much sense its a trip to think about.

This reminds me of a quote from a interview with 47's voice actor David Bateson where he basically was saying 47 started off as a fictional emotionless programed killing machine but over the years through the shared experiences and soul of everyone who has ever worked on 47, played the game, lived in his shoes, and became 47 he has become real. He is the sum of everyone whos lives he has been a part of. Hes full of humanity, thought, belief, soul, and emotion. 47 is as much a part of us as we are a part of him. He is more than any one person he is an immortal entity of collective consciousness.

Love to anyone who reads this,
Happy Hunting.

Amazing video btw top notch

33:30 she is ABSOLUTELY the client as she is the only VIP in the entire game if I remember correctly, and on top of that, if you take the Priest disguise and wait for them to be married, and while the guys on the lawn are shooting their guns off in the air in celebration you can shoot the husband in the back of the head, next to his new wife, and she'll say quietly, under her breath, 'FINALLY!'

It took me up until now to realize how well written Hitman series actually are. Amazing stuff

I love how the story is told in the new trilogy, through many NPC dialogues. It's a shame so many people don't pay attention to the story when they play it.

Very timely, as very soon the "Freelancer" mode of Hitman 3 will be coming out and I believe it's simply Diana and 47 working together as a freelance assassin pair after the ICA was again dismantled.

REALLY appreciate the mission cut to the Hitman 2016 cinematic. I barely played any Hitman pre-WoA so it was so damn cool to see that the cinematic were referencing previous lore. :)
Also, I just love Arthur Edwards last play:
"Why not erase your memory and become a thoughtless killing machine?"
"No."
"Well, I'm out of ideas..."

59:05 I hate to be "that guy" but the Hotel in Bangkok is not called the "Club 27" Hotel but rather the Himmapan Hotel. Club 27 is the name of the mission and is a reference the the 27 club, an age where many celebrities have died early, also referencing Jordan Cross's 27th birthday
