Hitman 3 will now be rebranded as Hitman: World of Assassination, and the trilogy’s content will become a single game.
In a blog post from developer IO Interactive, World of Assassination will be the only modern Hitman game available to purchase as of January 26. Hitman 1 and 2 will be removed from storefronts and those who already own Hitman 3 will get a free upgrade.
World of Assassination will cost $70 otherwise and will include all content from Hitman 1 Game of the Year Access Pass, all content from the Hitman 2 Standard Access Pass, and the Hitman 3 base game.
There will also be an additional World of Assassination Deluxe Pack that can be purchased for $30. This Deluxe Pack will add the remaining DLC for Hitman 3. This includes the Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack, the Hitman 3 Seven Deadly Sins Collection, and the Hitman 2 Expansion Access Pass.
IO Interactive stated that, “We’re absolutely certain that these changes will have a hugely positive effect on existing players and new players alike.
“For many players, it will mean free content to enjoy. For others, it will mean significantly cheaper DLC prices. For new players, who probably aren’t reading this here, they’ll have a much better experience buying Hitman games.”
The Hitman games have long been praised for their stealth gameplay, with many critics giving Hitman 3 glowing reviews.
