“Hitman 3 will become Hitman: World of Assassination, which will also include access to Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 through our Access Pass system. Current owners of Hitman III will receive a free upgrade to Hitman: World of Assassination on all platforms. We’re radically simplifying the shopping experience for new players. Hitman: World of Assassination will be the only option available to start playing. Put simply, these two changes mean that all new players and current owners of Hitman 3 will have the same base content. There will be no more confusion about which edition to buy, what content you own, how to redeem Legacy Packs or import locations, etc. We’re done with it all“, explains IO Interactive.
He holds the whole world in his hands
A detour on the Steam page indeed shows that the number of offers and editions had probably become a little too numerous over the years. Given the massive content that the trilogy represents, Hitman: World of Assassination will be sold at full price for newcomers, namely the equivalent of 70 dollars. For those who want more, a Hitman: World of Assassination Deluxe Pack sold for the equivalent of $30 will offer the Deluxe Pack of Hitman 3the Seven Deadly Sins expansion of Hitman 3 and the Access Pass to the extensions of Hitman 2. “That’s all. These are the only two products new players need to consider when buying a Hitman game digitally starting January 26, 2023.“, insists IO Interactive.
This means in particular that the standard editions of Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 will be removed from digital stores at the end of the month. However, owners of these titles will be able to continue to access them as usual. The good deal will go in any case to those who will make the purchase of Hitman 3 (currently on promotion on Steam) since they will therefore have access to the basic content of the entire trilogy from January 26th.
