The Best Levels in the Hitman Trilogy after Hitman 3

Hitman 3 is out now, and players are diving into both new and old levels from the "World of Assassination" trilogy that IO Interactive has weaved together. Owners of 2016's Hitman and Hitman 2 can play any level from the previous games within the latest installment (or players can buy access if they do not own those titles).

Throughout all of these games, IO has crafted some masterpiece levels that are truly a delight to explore and unravel the secrets of throughout countless runs. Agent 47's journey took him all over the globe as he worked to unravel Providence, and these are the five best levels Agent 47 visited in the entire World of Assassination trilogy. NOTE: SPOILERS ahead for Hitman 3.

Dartmoor is one of the new levels added in Hitman 3 and features a smaller map than most fans would expect. However, the Thornbridge Estate holds more secrets than the eye would let on. Not only that, but Dartmoor also features one of the most unique and fun story missions in the entire Hitman series. Players can assume the role of a private investigator and solve the murder of Zachary Carlisle while also planning the murder of Alexa Carlisle. The writing and planning of the murder-mystery is straight out of a whodunit novel or film, and players can easily lose themselves and forget they are actually playing a Hitman game.

Dubai is the opening level of Hitman 3, and it certainly leaves a lasting impression. Players start the level by skydiving from a plane onto a walkway well-above the clouds. The view alone is breathtaking and is worth appreciating before getting into the real part of Agent 47's work. Once 47 infiltrates The Scepter, the map opens up into a beautiful, luxurious lobby where Omar Al-Ghazali is announcing the grand opening of the world's tallest building. From there, Agent 47 is free to explore The Scepter and discover unique and interesting ways to take down the two targets, including a blindingly fast speedrun strategy fans have uncovered.

The beauty of Mumbai comes not only from its breathtaking scenery, but the depth and creativity it brings out in the player. The layout of The Scepter encourages thorough exploration along the path to mastery, and the more players explore this enormous skyscraper, more unique and interesting opportunities make themselves present. Want to make a man kill himself with an exploding golf ball? Want to drop a very expensive-looking chandelier on both targets while they are locked in a secret meeting room, killing them simultaneously? Hitman 3's Dubai level has all of that covered.

Miami is one of Hitman 2's most diverse levels thanks to the sprawling map that IO throws at the players. The level can be simplified down to two main areas: the racetrack and the Kronstadt Industries facility. Both areas are complex and full of opportunities to eliminate the two targets: Sierra and Robert Knox. The racetrack section of the map absolutely massive and densely packed with civilians and employees of the arena. At the start of the mission, Sierra Knox is participating in the race, which opens up many opportunities for 47 to eliminate her.
