Hitman Dev REVEALS Top Assassin Maps! You Won't Be...

Well, wonder no more! We managed to snag an interview with Christian Elverdam, Chief Creative Officer at IO Interactive, the very folks who brought Agent 47's latest adventures to life. And he was kind enough to share his personal favorite maps from across the entire World of Assassination collection. Trust me, it's insightful stuff.

Elverdam didn't hold back, diving straight into the iconic levels that clearly hold a special place in his heart. He mentioned Sapienza from the original *Hitman* (2016), and honestly, who can blame him? That sprawling Italian coastal town, with its sun-drenched piazzas, hidden labs, and the ever-present threat lurking beneath the surface, is a masterpiece of level design. I personally spent hours just wandering around, soaking in the atmosphere, before even thinking about assassinating Silvio Caruso.

Then, he touched on Paris, another gem from the first game. The sheer scale of that fashion show, the intricate network of backstage corridors, and the opportunities for creative kills are simply unmatched. I remember once rigging a light fixture to fall on Viktor Novikov during his big speech – a truly satisfying moment of silent (and deadly) artistry. Elverdam clearly appreciates the craftsmanship that went into creating these environments, and it shows in his enthusiasm when discussing them.

But it wasn't just the older levels getting love. Elverdam also highlighted Berlin from *Hitman 3*. This level, with its gritty, underground rave scene and the feeling of being hunted by rival assassins, offers a completely different vibe compared to the more opulent settings of the earlier games. It’s a testament to IO Interactive's ability to constantly evolve and experiment with the Hitman formula. Berlin felt raw, dangerous, and utterly captivating.

So, there you have it: a peek into the mind of one of the key figures behind the World of Assassination. Sapienza, Paris, and Berlin – three levels that represent the very best of what Hitman has to offer. But of course, taste is subjective! Now it's your turn. What are *your* favorite Hitman levels? Let us know in the comments below – we're dying to hear your picks!
