Hitman World of Assassination delayed until March on PSVR2

Developer IO Interactive has announced a delay for Hitman World of Assassination’s release on PlayStation VR2.

The upcoming VR release, which was first announced back in September, was initially slated for this December. It will now be released in March of next year.

IO’s global marketing director Jonathan Lacaille said the decision to delay was “not made lightly”, adding the studio understood there was “a lot of demand” for Hitman World of Assassination on PSVR2. However, the team wants to make sure it gets it right.

“Our priority will always remain to deliver an amazing experience that meets the high standards our players expect,” Lacaille wrote in a PlayStation blog post.

“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.”
