With this ending, you’ll not only get new information, but you’ll also get the A New Father feat for completing it. It’s good to play the game through normally, but it’s definitely worth circling back to the secret ending to check it out.

Unlocking the secret ending in Hitman 3

Unlocking the secret ending to Hitman 3 is actually pretty easy — it just requires a tiny bit of patience on your part. We’re encouraging you to do a straight playthrough of the game, then circle back to the secret ending. However, you can play as you want. Additionally, this article has a few spoilers about the secret ending, so be careful how quickly you read.

By the end of Hitman 3, you’ll find yourself circling Romania on a Providence train. Your target is the Constant, along with anyone on the train. Literally anyone on board that train is a viable target. That actually makes this level extremely fun because you can execute absolutely anyone without consequence. Regardless of whether or not you decide to murk everyone, you’ll eventually find yourself reaching the Constant, who will calmly accept his fate. But he will make you an offer, though. Just like previous Providence assassins, you’ll be offered to use the serum again and “surrender to your true nature.”

Agent 47 will initially reject the offer, and the game will leave you watching the Constant at a mirror with a plethora of options to kill him with. There will be a gun, fiber wire, and an ax at your disposal to take out the Constant. You can also use the serum to wipe the Constant’s memory, which is definitely a fun choice. But to get the secret ending, simply wait a minute. Seriously, just wait 60 to 70 seconds. This will trigger the secret ending. After about 60 seconds, the Constant will start talking again, and you’ll get the option to inject yourself again. Selecting this option will start the secret ending.

For those who want to see the secret ending themselves, stop reading here. But if anyone is interested in what the ending is, we do have some spoilers coming up about it.

If you do choose to inject yourself the second time it’s offered, 47 will pass out. Once you wake up, you’ll be somewhere very familiar to all Hitman fans. Welcome to a padded cell with a barred door. The constant will come and say some words to you, which sound just like the starting lines of the original game: “Wake up, my friend. It’s the dawn of a new day, and you have things to do.”

Exploring the Purribean for the mysterious North Star is a grand and pun-filled adventure on its own in Cat Quest 3, but there's far more to do off the beaten path. Just like the previous games in the series, this game is packed to the brim with side content and optional missions to extend your pirating adventures. While you will be rewarded with gold, XP, weapons, and items for your troubles, there are also a host of Trophies and Achievements that you can earn to prove you're a true pirate. Some of these will come as you complete the main quest, but most are optional and rather difficult. Here's a full list of every Trophy and Achievement in Cat Quest 3 so you can plot your course through the game.

How to change worlds in Once Human

Survival games tend to be some of the best multiplayer games on PC, and Once Human is no exception. This massive world is far too big and dangerous to fully explore and conquer by yourself, meaning you will always be dumped into a world filled with other players. You initially can choose if you want to play in a world that allows for PvP or is strictly PvE so no one ganks you while you're having fun decorating your base, but what if you want to play with friends who end up in a different world than you?

Each server has multiple worlds within it, so coordinating to play on the same server doesn't guarantee you will find them right away. There's no need to worry right now about linking up with console players since we don't know when Once Human will come to consoles just yet. You won't find an easy way to change worlds in the menus, so here's all you need to know about changing worlds in Once Human.

The best Nintendo 3DS games

After we enjoyed the wealth of the best GBA games, the pivot to the DS was a bit odd. The dual-screen design and touchscreen didn't seem like it would be a recipe for success, but just like the best Wii games proved us wrong for that console, it ended up being a smash hit. After a few different designs, this handheld reached its final form with the 3DS that added in glasses-free 3D.

The 3DS had games just as fun and creative as the best Wii U games, but this time the gimmick and naming convention didn't hurt its sales. In fact, some of these games are so beloved that they crack the list of best games of all time. Let's crack open our 3DS one more time to take a look at the best games for the handheld.
