Not assassinated anyone in a while? IO Interactive, the studio behind the iconic Hitman franchise, seems to have something in the works that may scratch that itch for you – and it might just be Hitman 3. In a 40-minute YouTube documentary, The Fall & Rise of Hitman , IOI confirmed that it was ”working on new Hitman content, and looking ahead to the third Hitman game”. What did we think of Hitman 2 ? Check out the best Xbox One games Or the best PS4 games instead We know from previous comments that Hitman 3 has long been planned, but with the previous title in the series – Hitman 2 – only released in late 2018, it may be a couple of years yet before the final game in the trilogy hits PC and consoles. CEO Hakan Abrak wouldn't be drawn into officially confirming the next entry, but added that such a game, were it in development, ”may once-again go episodic”, continuing the tendency of recent games to launch with a limited amount of content, with effectively large DLC mis...

Nikon's NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens has been something of a centrepiece in Nikon's Z system since the line was unleashed almost a year ago, but the lens has been under development since then. But this looks set to change with the news that pre-orders for the lens are apparently now being accepted in some stores. Here are the 10 best full-frame mirrorless cameras right now What's coming next? Here are the best Nikon camera rumors Read out in-depth Nikon Z7 review Nikon Rumors claims on its Twitter account that a reader of its site spotted the lens with pre-order signage at a shop in Sydney, while a comment underneath the post claims the lens was also on display at a Nikon store in Singapore.  The prospect of an official unveiling has been given further credence with a 'coming soon' badge added to the product on Nikon's website – not something it has done with any of the other three lenses set for release later this year – although the lens isn...

A graphics researcher and expert in ray tracing who has worked with Nvidia for a decade has made quite a startling prediction: that a big-name ‘AAA’ game will need a ray tracing-capable GPU to run by 2023. In other words, if you don’t have a GeForce RTX graphics card – or AMD, or indeed Intel's ray tracing equivalent – you won’t be able to play that big-name title. Of course, bear in mind that this is just a prediction from Nvidia’s Morgan McGuire – some educated guesswork from an expert – who also believes that in 2023, every gaming platform will offer hardware-accelerated ray tracing (even Nintendo’s, we might query?). GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs RTX 2060 : how much has changed? Should I buy a GeForce RTX 2070 Super? Find the best Nvidia GPU for you At any rate, the theory is that ray tracing will be ‘pervasive’ at this point – present in many or indeed most games as an option – but a solid requirement for one AAA release, or so McGuire claims. Certainly ray tracing bein...
