Hitman: World of Assassination video game
Initially released as Hitman 3 (2021) and rebranded in 2023, Hitman: World of Assassination is a stealth game and the eighth entry in the namesake’s franchise. You play as a contract killer named Agent 47. Hired by the ICA, you are tasked with assassinating multiple targets across the globe.
A guilty pleasure of mine, this game includes one of my favourite user interfaces of any game. It is highly minimal yet professionally done with a purpose, as a professional like Agent 47 needs only the most necessary information conveyed clearly to execute his job.
Much of the user interface is set in Neue Haas Grotesk, a perfect font that I can see 47 liking. This extends to all of Hitman’s visual branding since the 2016 reboot, where it first introduced this style of UI. Noto Sans makes a peculiar appearance, used on numbered elements and as the primary font for when non-Latin languages are selected.
