Why its still Hitman 3 in library if its rebranded to WOA? This mess needs to be fixed or undone!

[v00d00m4n]

This whole rebranding is a mess! So inconsistent and dumb!
Game is not HITMAN WOA inside, but not all assets was updated so game still has Hitman 3 icon, exe is still hitman 3, folder is also Hitman 3.
Steam library still have Hitman 3 name, hitman 3 logo, hitman 3 cover art, Hitman 3 description, and everything is still a Hitman 3.

Why in a world did you need to this dumb rebranding and messing everything IOI???

Please make everything consisten, or undo everything, bring back Hitman 3, logos, etc into game, and if you want so much - release world of assassination as stand alone game on steam, free for owners of previous games, and add a save sync between all 4 releases and not done via site, but fully local in game sync that affects all 4 games, including achivements sync (which will require minor update of all 3 games), so you can play any hitman and get all stats and progress (with exceptions of data that did not exist in older game) from there synched together because nobody wants to open same achivements and same stats they did 3 times before!

It isn't a rebrand as such, it's been done to simplify the purchase as to remove the confusion for ppl.

As with most posts from them, that's usually the case.

This is better this way cause I think Hitman 2 have kind of missleadning version name.
Hitman 2 was bad name choise cause there is Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.
Now we have these:
Codename 47
Silent Assassin
Contracts
Blood Money
Absolution
World of Assassination
It's better this way, orginal fail was Hitman (2006) what i thins is reason why they named next two in IOI to Hitman 2 and Hitman 3.
I think they will fix all those logos and stuff in future updates...and if it cause bigger problen than live, maybe some modder make mod for fix that number 3 problem.

You dont get the point - there a big inconsistency - look above and says the name of game in steam - its HITMAN 3, not HITMAN WOS. Game exe still has 3, exe name was not changed to HITMANWOS.exe, even logo and cover art still Hitman 3! If they do a rebrand, then they should should completely rebrand it, change every instance of 3 everywhere to WOS, but they did not, and it was a bad idea anywa to rebrand 3, they should have better releaseed a stand alon WOS version leaving 3 as is and allowing them both use same save file and same achivements repository (in case steam cad do it) or kepp achivements in both version in sycn by running any versuon shortly.

Problem is that they did it half-assed way!

[wicked lester]

Has anyone who owned the game before reinstalled the game since Jan 26? Does it change any of the branding?

Is it Hitman: World of Sassination? What is WOS?

47 gets cheeky

It's fine as it is. Better than ever actually.

it wa typo, fixed it. Word Silent bumps into my head before Assasin, thats wher i get S from.

[Pilzquadrat]

I suggest PWOA - Partial World of Assassination

[Citizen of the Void]

Wondering if they get to it eventually. The whole rebranding seemed so important to them, but apparently they still haven't followed through.

[v00d00m4n]

Damn it, every time i see Hitman 3 in library and on disk, and launch it to see its Hitman WOA but remainds of Hitman 3 still present everywhere, i feel like im in perfectionist hell getting tortured!

Its like watching one of those videos about imperfections:

sounds like a personal problem.

[Bankai9212]

Because regardless of how they word it it’s hitman 3 and for most people they don’t care, except for you of course. Take it up with their discord not on this forum.

No its not personal problem, its problem of IOI content managment employes who cant keep deployed game files in sync with their recent rebranding!

Its a simple carelessness and incompetence! If you rebranded game from Hitman 3 to Hitman WoA - rename it everywhere, change cover arts, logos and everything everywhere! But no, they did not do that, cover arts and logos and names in steam library, as well as game folder and exe names and basically everythiing outside of game itself is still Hitman 3 which is inconsistent with rebranding and makes whole rebranding halfassed! What was the point of whole rebranding if its aint done right and people still have Hitman 3 in library?

I think i even saw hitman 3 still in game's window caption... gotta check this.

[Aetherius]

I see no real reason why they had to rebrand to this WOA nonsense given how many times they've fumbled the marketing for the trilogy. This is what, the fifth or sixth change that now confuses prospective buyers? First it was the episodic launch of 2016, then the weird launch of 2, then the silver and gold passes, then transferring those locations to 3 etc etc.

Things would have been better if they left it alone.
