The developer is highlighting a year that saw the World of Assassination platform continue to expand well past its initial trilogy conclusion. While many single-player focused titles fade away after the first year of DLC, Agent 47's sandbox has remained active through 2025 with a steady stream of updates.
The Case for a Nomination
The "Labor of Love" category is specifically reserved for older titles that continue to receive nurturing content updates long after launch. IO Interactive's pitch centers on their consistent rollout of new Elusive Targets, Challenges, and Featured Contracts that keep the assassination meta fresh. Perhaps the most significant technical addition cited in their campaign is the recent update bringing HITMAN World of Assassination fully into PC VR.
Why does this matter for the community?
For a stealth sandbox, longevity relies on variable factors. By pushing VR support and maintaining a rotation of live content, IOI is arguing that the World of Assassination isn't just a backlog game—it's an evolving platform. If you have enjoyed retaking contracts in VR or chasing down the latest elusive targets this year, you can cast your nomination via the Steam store page to support the studio's ongoing work.
