Agent 47, this is Diana, I have a new assignment for you – as of 26th January, we will be renaming Hitman 3 as ‘World of Assassination’.\n<\/p>\n

In addition to this, it now will also include all levels from Hitman 1 and Hitman 2. We will make this a free update for those who already own the game. Do you understand?\n<\/p>\n

OK, Diana didn’t actually say that, but Hitman developer IO Interactive sure did.\n<\/p>\n

Earlier today, IOI shared an update detailing how players (both existing and new) will “experience, access and purchase” its recent Hitman trilogy as of later this month.\n<\/p>\n

It was a snappy update consisting of two main points:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • We’re drastically simplifying the purchase experience for new players. Hitman World of Assassination will be the single available option to start playing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      There will be two products available to purchase with this new World of Assasnation experience. The first is the standard version of the game, which will cost roughly $70 (“or local equivalent”).\n<\/p>\n

      This edition will come with Hitman 3, along with Hitman 1’s GOTY Access Pass and Hitman 2’s Standard Access Pass.\n<\/p>\n

      \n

      The world awaits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      The second that will be made available is the World of Assassination Deluxe Pack. This is a DLC pack which will cost in the region of $30 (“or local equivalent”).\n<\/p>\n

      This includes the Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack, Hitman 3’s Seven Deadly Sins Collection (I particularly enjoyed Lust) and the Hitman 2 Expansion Access Pass.\n<\/p>\n

      Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth? Haven Island is a place on earth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      The developer stated that as some players will already own some but not all DLC currently available, there will be flexible purchase options available.\n<\/p>\n

      Over on Steam, IOI is bringing in a “complete the set functionality” for the DLC packs included in the Deluxe pack.\n<\/p>\n

      “If you own two of the DLCs, you’ll only pay $10 for the remaining DLC, rather than having to pay full price for the full Deluxe Pack,” IOI explained.\n<\/p>\n

      Meanwhile, for those not playing on PC, the three DLCs from the Deluxe Pack will be available to purchase from the in-game store individually for $10.\n<\/p>\n

      IOI hopes this new “streamlined” approach to Hitman’s modern trilogy purchasing will make everything “simple and straightforward” for consumers going forward.\n<\/p>\n
