The announcement understandably drew plenty of criticism, but IO Interactive seems to have taken that into account.
How that will be handled hasn’t been detailed yet, with IO Interactive stating that the rollout for the same will be done “in the coming weeks.”
Hitman 3 is out on January 20 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and as a cloud-exclusive release on Nintendo Switch.
Recently, IO Interactive cleared up some of the confusion, stating that all Hitman 3 players would get the first game’s GOTY Edition for free, but that Hitman 2 would have to be re-purchased (albeit at heavily discounted prices).
