Hitman World of Assassination has been delayed until next year on PlayStation VR2.
Previously announced during September’s State of Play presentation, IO Interactive initially confirmed the Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy would reach PlayStation VR2 this December. Now delayed until March 27, 2025, the studio states this decision was made to further polish the experience and “add a few extras” like active manual reloading.
Outlining its decision on PlayStation Blog, you can read this below.
First of all, we would like to address the change in the release date. The launch of Hitman World of Assassination for PS VR2 was originally scheduled to take place in December 2024. This has now been rescheduled for March 27, 2025. The decision to change the date of release was not taken lightly. We knew there was great demand for Hitman to be available on PS VR2, so we were thrilled to see how well received the announcement was. As such, we will continue to strive for an incredible experience that is up to the standards of our players. The additional time will not only allow our team to polish the game, ensuring that every aspect is refined, immersive, and seamless, but also to add a few extras that we really wanted to include in this PS VR2 version, such as active reloading.

and Quest. Hitman World of Assassination will also introduce “positional interaction,” where you must physically imitate actions, such as pouring poison from a vial into a cup instead of pressing a button. Studio states that quest items are now physical, and can be inspected in your hands, such as swiping or turning a locking mechanism in a room. This is launching for $10 as an upgrade for PS5 owners who own the game.
