Developer IO Interactive has announced that Hitman 3 is being rebranded and will include content from Hitman 1 and 2. On January 26, Hitman 3 will be renamed Hitman: World of Assassination, while content from the previous two games will be made available through the Access Pass system. The good news for current Hitman 3 owners is that this will be a free upgrade on all platforms and IO has added that it is “drastically simplifying the purchase experience” for new players by making World of Assassination the key entry point to the series.
This will allow all new players and existing Hitman 3 owners to have the “same base content ownership,” according to IO, as the studio is aiming to reduce confusion “over which edition to buy, what content you own, how to redeem Legacy packs or import locations.”
