As we saw in the preview, Agent 47 arrives in this tropical region to find out what’s going on on the island and confront a network of pirates, secretly or not. Thus, we will discover new plots, betrayals and characters that will directly involve us in the situation on the island.

Ambrose Island promises a tropical setting where exploration will be importantThe new environment shows us a wild, tropical-inspired environment where exploration will be important, even with ambient sounds that add realism to the feeling of being in the middle of nature. How could it be otherwise, we will have to sneak around the island and look for another treasure along the way. The place is divided between the residential area, where we find the residential and resting areas, the wildest place on the island, and a prison where we will have to do what we know how to do: infiltrate.

Although this development does not reveal much about the plot, we managed to get acquainted with what seemed to be the main enemy, realizing that the island was rebelling against the imposed order. Thus, we will see what kind of conflict this rebellion led to political level, both inside and outside, and here is where our protagonist comes into play. On the other hand, it should be noted that this content unrequited for players who already have the full game.

With all this news on the table, 3DJuegos took the opportunity to visit IOI headquarters in Barcelona, ​​where we met with part of the team that brought Hitman III and this new content expansion to life. How did he work on it in times of the pandemic? The main person responsible for the team, Eduard Lopez PlansHe told us that the pandemic had caught up with the team working on Hitman 3, but “we were all highly trained in the art of ‘making Hitman’ back then”, so they were able to move forward without too many hiccups.

3DJuegos had the opportunity to visit the IOI headquarters in Barcelona“We knew each other and were able to work well from home. Frankly,” he continues, “the coronavirus has affected us on a personal level as well. Some of us got sick, some of us were worried or had a hard time, but we found ways to support each other.” In this scenario, IOI Barcelona may finally present the new content of Hitman III today.

While the mysterious Project 007 was underway, we also asked about the role of IOI Barcelona in the projects of the general study. “We work on all IOI projects. Imagine IOI as a studio spread across different countries. A person at IOI Barcelona can fulfill any task within IOI,” he explains.

One of the points that seemed important to us was the relationship of this headquarters with the rest of Spanish industry. So we were able to learn about the studio’s vision for its role as a major developer company. Promotion of synergy between studios, participation in associations such as Devicat, information meetings or cooperation with local indie studios are some of its suggestions and actions to promote the industry.

But when we talk about the current state of it, Eduard is clear with his vision: “There’s a huge lack of pressure at the national level. Generalitat de Catalunya is actively working to attract companies in this sector, it seems it’s getting more serious and it’s in line with the growth we’ve seen recently. Now we need the Government to do the same. and we need it to promote both Barcelona and the rest of the country, thus helping to create a government ecosystem for video game development.”

When it comes to importance and that’s what we want, IOI Barcelona considers the presence of this studio to be beneficial primarily in terms of job creation, desire to build bonds and opportunities to work with major productions. The importance of building trust with other foreign video game companies considering settling in Spain and collaborating with the educational media that train future industry workers was also highlighted.

So, with all this information, all we have to do now is wait for the Ambrose Island content to arrive for all gaming platforms on July 27 and enjoy the full essence of Hitman III in this little heavenly adventure.
