Game news Hitman 3: major changes announced for very soon
From the end of January, several upheavals will lead to a major reorganization of the Hitman franchise. Explanations.
Call It Hitman: World Of Assassination
Based on the observation that it was necessary to simplify the “World Of Assassination” of the Hitman saga, the teams of IO Interactive today posted a ticket explaining to players that the franchise was going to undergo some important changes. As of January 26, 2023, the Hitman 3 game will be renamed to Hitman: World Of Assassination and will provide free access to all levels of Hitman and Hitman 2. But that’s not all…
As of January 26, 2023, the following changes are expected to take 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 radically simplifying the shopping experience for new players. HITMAN World of Assassination will be the only option available to start playing. – IO Interactive
A single entry point for the entire series
Rolling out via a free update, these changes to the entire Hitman trilogy are intended to simplify the offer currently offered to players by using the game Hitman: World Of Assassination as the only gateway to the franchise world. The objective is above all to sweep away the confusion around the content specific to the different editions offered and to ensure that new players as well as owners of the Hitman 3 game have access to the same basic content. From January 26, there will therefore be only two options to obtain the trilogy :
HITMAN – World of Assassination (around US$70)
Includes: HITMAN 3, plus H1 GOTY Access Pass and H2 Standard Access Pass.
HITMAN – World of Assassination Deluxe Pack (about US$30)
Includes: H3 Deluxe Pack, H3 Seven Deadly Sins Collection and H2 Expansion Access Pass.
IO Interactive also states that these changes have been made taking into account the game mode Freelancer for which it is essential to be able to easily access all the places of the “World Of Assassination”.
Hitman 3 will become Hitman: World Of Assassination on January 26, 2023.
