Today, we are excited to announce some changes to our players (both available and new) how to experience, access and buy HITMAN 2 and HITMAN 3. These changes will make it easier than ever to enter and enjoy the game.
26 As of January 2023, the following changes are planned to be effected.
-HITMAN 3 will be “HITMAN World of Assassination”, which will include access to HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 through our existing Access Pass system. Available HITMAN 3 owners will get free upgrade to HITMAN World of Assassination on all platforms.
This change will mean that all new players and existing HITMAN 3 owners will have the same basic content. Now which version you will buy, which content you have, how to use old packages or import locations etc. There will not be confusion on topics.’
