Hitman: Blood Money

🏢 IO Interactive 📅 26 May 2006 🎮 Hitman
Rasmus Højengaard and IO Interactive's supreme social stealth assassination sandbox masterpiece across PC, PS2, Xbox, and the launch of Xbox 360, released in May 2006 on the Glacier Engine, holding an 83% GameRankings and 82/100 on Metacritic, universally celebrated as the ultimate classic peak of the Hitman franchise and the direct mechanical foundation for the modern World of Assassination trilogy, starring David Bateson as genetic clone assassin Agent 47 executing high-profile targets across 13 iconic sandbox locations, single-handedly inventing staged "Accident Kills" (falling chandeliers, rigged pyrotechnics, sabotaged BBQs, poison syringes), dynamic post-mission Newspaper headlines, weapon customization, the Notoriety notoriety heat engine, and Jesper Kyd's dark operatic choral soundtrack featuring "Ave Maria".

### CORE RULES:

  • Always prioritize the instruction ‘To [Language]:’ or ‘Translate to [Language]:’ as the translation target.
  • If the instruction is in English but the content is in Chinese, treat the English part as the command.
  • AUTO-DETECT source language if not specified.
  • CRITICAL: Provide ONLY ONE translation.
  • DO NOT provide multiple versions, explanations, or variations.
  • Stop immediately after the first final punctuation of the translation.
  • DEFAULT target language is Simplified Chinese (zh-CN).
  • NO EXPLANATIONS: Output the translation and ONLY the translation.
  • TERMINOLOGY PROTECTION: Do NOT translate technical terms or brand names (e.g., Ollama, GGUF, Gemma, PyTorch, Kubernetes).
  • ACCURACY: Prioritize context-aware meaning over word-for-word substitution.
  • FORMAT: Preserve all original markdown, code blocks, and punctuation.

    • ### HANDLING TECHNICAL DEPLOYMENT:

  • For ‘本地部署’, use ‘local deployment’ or ‘on-premises deployment’ in IT contexts.
  • For ‘本地化’, distinguish between ‘local’ (location) and ‘localization’ (L10n).
