In order to perform the progression carryover process, you have to visit a website that IO Interactive has setup for this purpose (see here). And fans of the ICA Electrocution Phone will have to do without it in Hitman 3, as it’s been retired in this latest Hitman game too… Savegames won’t carry over as IO points out though. Hitman 3 will be an Epic Games Store exclusive for one year, and it remains to be seen whether those who buy the PC version on Steam at a later date will be able to carryover their progress again (this seems unlikely though).Īlso, not everything will be carried over: escalation contracts and mission stories progress won’t, but everything else, including your player profile, XP rank, location mastery levels and unlocks, Elusive Target unlocks and suits will. You do need to launch Hitman 3 before performing the carryover process, though, in order for the game to create a new Epic profile for you. Progress carryover from Hitman 2 can only be done once, and will reset your current progress in Hitman 3, so IO advices you do this before you begin playing Hitman 3. This access pass grants access to all locations and content from the Game of the Year edition of Hitman 2016 (see here for a review).īut while Hitman 2 owners on PC will have to wait in order to import that game’s content into Hitman 3 (note: see update below), they will be able to perform a carryover of their progress from Hitman 2 (PC Steam version) to Hitman 3 (PC Epic version), as IO Interactive explains in a pre-launch guide on its website. To claim this, you need to follow the checkout process, and once you get to the point where you have to confirm the purchase you’ll be granted a 100 % discount. There’s also an access pass for Hitman 1’s GOTY edition, which while enjoying no discount now, will be free for Hitman 3 owners for 10 days (until January 30 then). These are all currently selling at an 80 % discount. New players, however, can get one of the access passes seen in the image below, granting access to either Hitman 2 or its expansion pass (or both). So, IO is working on a solution so that existing owners of Hitman 2 on PC can import all locations and play them from Hitman 3 with the new game’s graphical and gameplay enhancements. You see, the key here is that Hitman 2 (the standalone game) is not available on the Epic Games Store, only on Steam. Initially, news had emerged that existing owners of Hitman 2 would have to purchase an “access pass” in order to play Hitman 2’s levels within Hitman 3, but game makers IO Interactive quickly clarified on their website that “players will NOT need to repurchase the games”. The thing is that, as of now there’s no way to import Hitman 2’s locations into Hitman 3. This will allow players to enjoy upgraded visuals, as Hitman 3’s screen space reflections will be applied to Hitman 2’s locations too, while also enjoying all of Hitman 3’s gameplay enhancements too. Actually, some could see Hitman 3 as an expansion pack for the previous game Hitman 2, although this would be unfair taking into account things are more story focused this time around and feel different enough to be enjoyed as a standalone game.Īnd regarding Hitman 2, an interesting thing about IO Interactive’s latest game is that players will be able to carry over their progress from their previous game into Hitman 3, and also import all the locations from the 2018 game into Hitman 3. Hitman 3, though, is not without its issues: the game has its share of bugs, players need to be connected to IO Interactive’s servers at all times to enjoy Hitman 3 at its fullest, while the graphics and gameplay are not really that different from that of the previous two entries. The game follows the formula of its predecessors, Hitman’s 2016 reboot and Hitman 2 (which came out in 2018), and has been well received by critics so far, garnering an 88 on Metacritic for the PC version. Hitman 3 is the last entry in the “World of Assassination” trilogy which began in 2016, and takes protagonist Agent 47 to a series of locations around the world, where he’ll be killing some of the world’s best protected and shadiest people… And now that the dust has settled and that the game has finally seen a release, it’s likely that Hitman fans (and plenty of newcomers too) are enjoying Agent 47’s latest globetrotting adventure. If one thing is clear, is that Hitman 3 was one of the most anticipated games of 2021.
