After starting a globetrotting world that saw scores of people succumb to karmic justice via the helping hand of one barcoded assassin, IO Interactive’s recent trilogy of Hitman games now exist under one roof. The World of Assassination collection spans all the locations that were visited in Hitman 1-3, ranging from a scenic racing circuit in Miami to the bustling markets of Marrakesh
Hitman 3 owners will be able to access content from the previous two games through the Access Pass system, which will be a free upgrade on all platforms. If you haven’t yet played any of the Hitman games, you’ll be able to dive into The World of Assassination via a new $70 bundle that is now available. This bundle includes Hitman: Game of the Year Edition, Hitman 2, and Hitman 3, while the $30 World of Assassination Deluxe Pack completes the entire collection with the rest of the outstanding DLC such as the Seven Deadly Sins campaign and the sniper challenge maps.
Freelancer mode has also gone live in Hitman, and essentially turns the game into a roguelite experience as Agent 47 tracks down a dangerous cabal of international criminals. Unlike the regular Hitman experience in which you have all the unlocked tools of the trade ready to use, you’ll need to plan your approach to taking out targets. Players will have to build and maintain an arsenal of gear, choose what to bring with them, and potentially lose their loadout in a mode that IO describes as an independent experience.
