"Do what you do best, man!" On the eve of the completion of the World Of Assassination trilogy, join James, Jon, Josh and Ryan as they look back at IO Interactive’s fascinating journey bringing Agent 47 back again (again).

“I wanna be a heroControl my life's eventsI'll use my song to prove them wrongAnd make a difference” To conclude our ninth year of shows we wanted to end on a high note, figuratively at least, with a feel-good game that brought warm feelings of hope and togetherness.

“Rest in peace, little chicken. It's been a bash.” Join Josh, James and Leah as we reunite with the Sparda family to remove a overgrown tree that’s threatening the local infrastructure in Red Grave City. In amongst all the combo chaining and demon juggling this series is famed for, we ask what each of the three playable characters brings to the proceedings and discuss just how far in advance we guess every “twist” in the narrative.
