Our take on Hitman: Codename 47
The defining detail is the assignment structure: each contract combines surveillance, equipment choices, and multiple routes, making the approach part of the mission rather than a single combat sequence.
What is Hitman: Codename 47?
Play as an assassin handling contract missions across a five-chapter story.
Assignments involve planning around weapons, surveillance information, and different routes to completion, with stealth and tactical choices shaping each approach. A training session covers weapons and agility before missions. An in-game currency system provides access to black-market weapons, decoys, traps, and personnel. The game presents artificial intelligence built around its “Thinking Shooter” concept, alongside cinematic visuals and a 3D engine with object physics, deformations, weapon modeling, and character animations. Missions focus on entering, completing, and leaving assignments while attracting as little attention as possible.
