The Mendoza location was IO Interactive's first attempt to depict Argentina in the Hitman franchise. The original two ideas for the level were a "tango location set in Buenos Aires" or a vineyard in South Africa. Both ideas were combined and Mendoza was chosen because it is an internationally known wine producing region. The company went to great lengths to create a fictional location with authentic-looking terrain and vegetation, to show the winemaking process, and to accurately portray aspects of Argentine culture, such as tango and the drinking of mate. As IO Interactive's associate producer Pablo Prada is from Argentina, he provided insight for many aspects of the level. The real-life Villavicencio Natural Reserve [ es] was an inspiration for the architecture of the level. Professional dancers were hired for the tango animations and consulted about the music. The designers reused existing NPC Spanish-dialect dialogue, which had been recorded with Colombian and Mexican accents, rather than recording new NPC dialogue with authentic Argentine accents, due to time and budgetary constraints, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. The company instead chose to focus on securing appropriate voice talent for the Chongqing location. [37] From what I've seen the process doesn't look like the cleanest, but I'll keep an eye on everything and see how it goes.By reducing the barrier to entry, IO Interactive has ensured that players can focus primarily on one thing, and that’s the stealth-based mayhem and murder that the World of Assassination trilogy has honed to perfection.

In addition to the game's single-player campaign, many game modes from previous games return in Hitman 3. Escalation contracts are multi-stage contracts that get harder with each stage. They task players with eliminating targets under specific conditions, such as wearing a particular disguise or using a specific weapon. [20] Hitman 3 also features "Elusive Targets", which are time-limited missions that may only be attempted once. Elusive Targets are introduced in the game as regular updates. [21] Hitman 3 also introduced "Elusive Target Arcade", which is a permanent feature in the game. In Elusive Target Arcade, players must take down several Elusive Targets consecutively as the difficulty increases from target to target. Failing requires the player to wait 12 hours before attempting again. [22] The game also features Contracts Mode, where a player can select several targets across all the maps in the series, add extra complications like specific kill methods, and share their contracts with other players.

The game had six writers and a producer who managed the writing team. According to Forest Swartout Large, the game's executive producer, the dialogue budget accounted for a significant proportion of the overall development budget because the team had to write dialogue for not only the linear story, but also the emergent gameplay. [41] The game's cast include David Bateson as Agent 47, Jane Perry as Diana Burnwood, John Hopkins as Lucas Grey, Isaura Barbé-Brown as Olivia Hall, and Phillip Rosch as the Constant. [42] For the incidental dialogue, Bateson was instructed not to diversify his accent to fit the context of the situation. Instead, he was directed to deliver dialogue in a "delightfully wooden" way and deliver each line, regardless of how absurd it may be, seriously. [43] Bateson further stated that he wanted to "give [47] almost a kind of Frankenstein's monster feel to him". [44] Reflecting on the evolution of dark humour across the three games, Bateson said that "[it] has matured and evolved like a good cheese or a good wine, without the writers wanting to belittle or turn it into some kind of a lightweight comedy, because it’s not. People are dying horrific deaths. But it’s nice to have that dark humour". [45] Technology [ edit ] I can’t overstate how much this simple change mixes things up. Knowing a level may have lookouts who can see through my disguise, or that the target may himself be surrounded by assassins, creates a level of tension that is unparalleled for the series. Factor in that you don’t know what your target looks like and must piece together clues as you progress. With a couple of minor changes, the developers have created an experience that makes World of Assassination feel like an entirely new game when playing in freelancer mode.
