Hitman World of Assassination’s anticipated update 3.140 has finally arrived, featuring a slew of fixes, changes, and significant additions that will change how the community experiences Hitman World of Assassination.
Hitman World of Assassination brings forth the new Freelancer mode. The single-player mode adds rogue-like aspects, a customizable safehouse, and in-depth mission planning before going on your daily hunts. The 3.140 update also adds support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 on PC.
The DLSS Frame Generation and NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency will make the game even smoother. “DLSS Frame Generation uses AI to boost frame rates by generating additional high-quality frames, all while optimizing responsiveness with NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency.”
However, NVIDIA DLSS 3 will require the new 4000 series graphic cards. The update has also fixed a hilarious “muffin” exploit, which was utilized by speedrunners to set significantly better times. However, the trick was unintentionally patched, as the developers enjoyed seeing the content that emerged from it. It will be added later on.
Furthermore, various bugs and glitches have been squashed to ensure Hitman World of Assassination does not crash. The “Run Toggle” has been revised and expanded upon, now offering options to “HOLD(unchanged),” the button like before, and “TOGGLE(changed),” which will let agent 47 run at any time when pressed.
In the new “PRESS” toggle, “The player must press ‘run’ when walking. If 47 was already walking, he will run. If he was already running, nothing will happen. When he stops moving, his speed resets to a ‘walk.'”
Moreover, level-specific issues have also been tackled, which will make the user experience even better. For instance, missing AI dialogue, mostly on Ambrose Island, has been fixed where specific character dialogues would not start properly.
The Hitman World of Assassination update is available to download today on all platforms, including the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Series S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The release time for the 3.140 update is noted to be Thursday, 26th January 2023, 11 am UTC on the site.
The update varies in size between 1.5GB and 8GB, depending on the platform. Moreover, Cloud: Switch users will not have to install any updates or patches to access the update. The Switch will receive the update after the maintenance is concluded.
Revealed a few weeks ago, Hitman 3 was entirely redefined, slated to become a central hub that features maps of the prior two entries. In other words, it should be really easy for new players to get into the Hitman franchise; the update was also made to pave the way for the new Freelancer mode.
