Agent 47 back with a bang
They say you can’t keep a good man down – turns out that goes for relatively amoral men too. Agent 47 has stealthily crept his way into the top spot of the UK Charts, thanks to the release of IO Interactive’s excellent sequel,Hitman 3,physically published by Square Enix.
As reported by GamesIndustry.biz,the eighth (just go with it) mainline entry in the long-running murderthon,Hitman 3was the biggest-selling physical release in the UK last week, with the PS5 platform accounting for almost half of all sales. Speaking of PS5, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s pseudo-sequelSpider-Man: Miles Moralesalso made a return to the Top Ten, web-slinging in at number four, whileDemon’s Soulsmade its return to the Top 40 at number 27.
Aside from these two releases, it was mostly business as usual. Nintendo’sAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsandMario Kart 8 Deluxeoccupy slots two and three respectively, while additional Switch releases,Ring Fit Adventure, Just Dance 2021, andMinecraft,nestle at the back half of the Top 10. The bro-tasticFIFA 21,Grand Theft Auto V,andCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warall continue to see steady week-on-week sales.
