The upcoming title in the hugely popular stealth franchise - which is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2020 - will introduce a first-person mode putting you in the body of Agent 47.

As revealed during this week's 'State of Play' showcase, the game - the third in IO Interactive's rebooted series - will also feature VR support for all 'Hitman' and 'Hitman 2' missions, as well as the entirety of the new addition.

In a PlayStation Blog post, the studio's communications manager Travis Barbour wrote: "'Hitman 3' VR will change the way you play the game by giving you a first person view and allowing you to get truly immersed into the rich and detailed locations that the series is known for.

"Whether you're in disguise and walking down the catwalk at a fashion show in Paris, enjoying the seaside in Sapienza or infiltrating a bank in New York, 'Hitman' in VR literally gives you a brand new perspective in first person.

"You'll stand face-to-face with your targets and look them in the eyes, blend-in to a busy crowd and hear the chatter and conversations happening around you and interact with items using your hands.

"For example, you can swing a frying pan in whatever angle you want to knock out a guard - and then use it to deflect any bullets that are fired at you as you make your escape!"
