Next Gen Graphics

The new location is a perfect opportunity for IO Interactive to showcase not only the engine, but the graphics as well.

Next gen hardware allows developers to move forwards with full support for 4K resolution.

Interestingly, this also means that players will be able to use 60fps and HDR in-game.

It also enable the consoles to render in more than ever before!

Another exciting development from this new engine are improvements to old games.

Now, these technical and visual improvements will be visible in Hitmans 1 and 2 as well.

We don't yet know how this will play out, but for fans of the old games, it's an exciting development.

Finally, the engine is also capable of handling over 300 NPCs on screen at once.

So expect new environments to feel busier than ever!
