Those were the exact words we used and a central promise to how we’ve released the three games in the 7 years that followed. Today, we’re excited to announce some upcoming changes to how our players (both existing and new) will experience, access and purchase HITMAN 1, HITMAN 2 and HITMAN 3. These changes will make it easier than ever to enter and enjoy the World of Assassination – and finally allow us to realise the vision we set out to achieve. As of 26 January 2023 (today) , the following changes are planned to come into effect. HITMAN 3 will become ‘HITMAN World of Assassination’, which will also include access to HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 through our existing Access Pass system. Current HITMAN 3 owners will get a free upgrade to HITMAN World of Assassination on all platforms. We’re drastically simplifying the purchase experience for new players. HITMAN World of Assassination will be the single available option to start playing. Essentially, these two changes will mean that all new players and existing HITMAN 3 owners will have the same base content ownership. There will be no more confusion over which edition to buy, what content you own, how to redeem Legacy packs or import locations, etc. We’re done with that. The World of Assassination We’re approaching these changes with a no compromises approach. We want to make absolutely sure that the experience of entering or enjoying the World of Assassination is simple and straightforward. Let’s break it down. We’re streamlining the (many) offerings currently on the stores down to two products. These will replace existing ways to buy HITMAN 1, HITMAN 2 or HITMAN 3. HITMAN – World of Assassination (approx. $70 USD or local equivalent) Includes: HITMAN 3, plus H1 GOTY Access Pass and H2 Standard Access Pass. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819667/ec9a93c50a37d89c983d7349d75bcf33425e1912.jpg HITMAN – World of Assassination Deluxe Pack (approx. $30 USD or local equivalent) Includes: H3 Deluxe Pack, H3 Seven Deadly Sins Collection and H2 Expansion Access Pass. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819667/96e0adffaaf7c82244ed8dd893d962a4da05f690.jpg That’s it. Those are the only two products that new players need to consider when buying any HITMAN game digitally as of January 26, 2023. PLAYER-FRIENDLY FLEXIBILITY We want the experience for new players to be straightforward and concrete. We believe the above changes will achieve that. However, for existing players, who cover a huge matrix of different ownership combinations, we’re being a little bit more flexible – but still with a strong approach for simplicity. The reason for this flexibility is that we know many of you own certain games or DLCs but not others, and we don’t want to force anyone to (re)buy what they already own. We think th...Hitman Freelancer puts the assassination planning into your handsJan 13, 2023 - PCGamesNThe Hitman Freelancer mode announced a year ago is finally arriving this month, with a release date scheduled for January 26, developer IO Interactive has revealed.
