Hitman is a hell of a franchise. It's been around for just over two decades and it's been rebooted and overhauled more times than anyone can count (3), and over its many iterations, the team behind it have learned some very interesting lessons about how to get people to play a certain way, and about what kind of game they were actually making.

With Hitman 3 marking the end of Agent 47's career for the time being, The Architect - a fellow master of disguise - has taken it upon themselves to look back at Hitman's history and run through how the game earned its by now legendary reputation, as well as how the developers created it.
