Franchise is showing no signs of stopping, and red going to definitely get more content now that 2016’s Hitman 3 is about to be two years old. Of course, before they announce a brand new entry to the franchise, here's a refresher to remind you of some of the best unknown facts about the Hitman series!

Nixian Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Editing and voice-over were made by me.

Hitman 3's Agent 47 is the most handsome realistic human male character ever created. Truly beautiful people don't need hair to be attractive.

Fun fact: In the ending cutscene of "The Farewell" named "Necessary Evil", Diana states how she only saw 47 as a blank slate. This quotation dates back all the way back to the first cinematic in Hitman, about how Soders thinks of 47 as a blank slate.

BLOOD MONEY IS legendary
EDIT: THANKS FOR 10 LIKES D:)

[@hilmiaryar.m.3802]

if u find which is legendary, its contracs or silent assassin. if u find which is the best gameplay, blood money or absolution

[@nathancrensley6479]

The first hitman game I ever played, which happens to be my favourite still to this very day, is hitman contracts.
It's so underrated, sure blood money had better graphics and introduced hand to hand combat...but nothing beats the nostalgic feeling I get when I play contracts. The levels were better, the soundtrack was better, the weapons were better IMO, and it was by far the darkest/grim hitman ever made.
Such an underrated game out of the series. Hitman 2 silent assassin would be my runner-up.

[@shadowagent6051]

I repeat what I said before that makes a lot a people angry,Hitman Absolution had the most badass Mr 47 of all,the way he act,the way he walks,facial expressions,I respect the contracts system that started everything and goes all the way to 2022,but we can't deny that a story based of him protecting someone gave him personality and humanity never seen once before for the man who defines the art.

that fact about the first hitman game's ost being composed by an orchestra is false, the ost was composed by one guy named jesper kyd it was the second game that had an orchestra compose the soundtrack

[@astraldreamer84]

Going further IMO Hitman 1 original soundtrack is the best sountrack composed for a single game. At least one of the best of all time nest to soudntracks to Medal of honur Allied Assault, Mafia, MAx Payne etc.
