Hitman: Blood Money
Hitman Blood Money is the fourth installment of the critically acclaimed Hitman series. If Agent 47 must stay hidden, make clean ‘hits’ and leave the scene unnoticed, he will be rewarded. But if he is revealed during a violent act, his picture will end up in the papers and on wanted posters, making the job as a contract killer more difficult. This time, Agent 47 is paid in cold, hard cash. How the money is spent will affect his passage through the game and the weapons at his disposal, resulting in a unique game-play experience for each player.
What it feels like
Sustained pressure comes from managing detection risk and executing kills while maintaining cover. The game's tone is cynical and darkly humorous, playing contract killing for dark comedy effect.
What it's about
Professional contract killing and the criminal underworld are the central subject. A larger agency is hunting Agent 47 and the ICA, driving his assassination missions forward.
How it plays
Staying hidden and avoiding detection is the core mechanic—Agent 47 is rewarded for remaining unnoticed and punished (via wanted posters) if revealed. Multiple interlocking systems (disguises, NPC routines, environmental interaction) permit player-authored solutions to assassination objectives. Silent eliminations of targets are the primary objective, rewarding positioning and careful timing over open combat.
How it looks and sounds
The camera follows Agent 47 from behind/over the shoulder throughout exploration and interaction.
How it's structured
Designed exclusively for solo play with no multiplayer component. Play is structured as discrete contract missions the player selects and completes in sequence. Different approaches, loadouts, and emergent scenarios make replaying missions with varied strategies highly rewarding.
