After years of critically acclaimed games in the series, Hitman began anew in 2016 with what was known as the beginning of the "World of Assassination" trilogy. Hitman: The First season, commonly known as just 'Hitman' or 'Hitman 2016' was the first in this newly designed trilogy in which the world became your playground, as the player takes control of the bald and brutal, Agent 47, the world's deadliest assassin (sorry John Wick, you don't exist in this universe).
