Meta Quest 3 VR release date for dual-wielding Hitman 3 is set

If you’re looking forward to taking out some unsuspecting targets as Agent 47 in Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded, you don’t have to wait too long.

Today, virtual reality game development studio XR Games announced that the game will launch on Meta Quest 3 on September 5th. That’s just one week from today!

“It’s finally time for players to enjoy a full Hitman experience,” said Bobby Thandi, founder and CEO of XR Games. “Now we don’t have to wait much longer!”

When it releases, Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded will give players the ability to wield two weapons simultaneously, utilizing a new cel-shaded art style, an updated user interface, improved movement options, and “more.”

Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded costs £24.99, but if you’re interested you can pre-order it and get 10% off.

Hitman 3 was originally released in 2021, bringing an end to IO Interactive’s World of Assassination games. We called it a “satisfying end to a beautiful stealth trilogy” in Eurogamer’s Hitman 3 review.

“Behind Agent 47’s myriad disguises, I sense a faith in the self-destructive logic of the universe, a conviction that if he is patient and vigilant, if he just allows himself to go with the flow, the planets will align, the walls will disappear, and for a second or so the heart of the machine will be visible to all,” Edwin wrote.

IOI is currently working on two new projects – including a secret fantasy game and a new 007 James Bond blockbuster.
