Agent 47 has taken on a lot of intense missions, but there may be none more memorable than the Berlin level in Hitman 3. People have been singing this missions praises since the game released, as it drops you smack-dab in the middle of a rave. In an interview with Game Informer, some of the dev team shares insight into how the level came together.

Game director Mattias Engstrom

“We put a lot of effort into making it an authentic rave in Berlin, and a lot of effort into the music, and we spent a lot of effort into making that crowd.”

Executive producer Forest Swartout Large

“I feel like it’s so much, that experience up to that reveal. And then you get inside and you’re like, ‘Oh my god! Mind blown!’ I cried when I saw the rave, and when I had the ‘I have arrived’ moment. It was totally emotional. It hit me like a ton of bricks.”
