32 Ways to Dispatch a Target in the New Hitman Game

I’ve been playing Hitman games as long as they have been out there. I love the franchise and even liked the movies. The thing with Hitman is that you can use stealth and ideally, you only kill your target and no one else. The thing is I like to kill people in the digital realm, so I totally ignore that.

In the newest installment in the Hitman franchise, it looks like you have some serious options when it comes to killing people.

That was exciting wasn’t it? Here’s how they made it happen:

Realm Pictures says the YouTubers will upload the full footage of their individual playthroughs on their respective channels. I hope we get to see Jane’s playthrough as well, because it sounded like she slipped into her character while playing.
