I own Hitman 1&2, What do I buy?

[Heliocentric]

Essentially, it feels like no matter what I'm, trapped into buying 1&2 again? I either get the upgrade pack

or the complete "HITMAN World of Assassination"

"HITMAN World of Assassination Part One" would be fine, if i never intended to play #3, I own 2 and redeemed by passes for the game 2 content.

but if i ever want to buy #3, I just have to buy 1&2 again?

Tell me if I'm missing something.

Location importing (which was what allowed owners of Hitman 1 and 2 to buy Hitman 3 and have access to locattions from Hitman 1 and 2 in Hitman 3) was removed when Hitman 3 was rebranded as Hitman World of Assassination on January 23, 2023.

You can still import progress from Hitman 2 to Hitman 3 (aka Hitman World of Assassination).

To answer your 1st question, it would be the complete HITMAN World of Assassination https://store.steampowered.com/sub/672746/ or the Deluxe Edition https://store.steampowered.com/sub/963308/

I've imported, I did it into the demo, I was using the Demo to play my h1&2 content. Then they changed it so I couldn't.

But there's no-version of h3 I can buy that doesn't result in redundant ownership.

I also own Hitman 1 and 2, but I don't think I can justify buying or support a series that will make me pay to import my previous content. Absolutely unacceptable and will not be investing anything further into the Hitman franchise. I have been a Hitman player since the original.

Yes Im in the same boat. I already own H1 and H2, so this is the version to buy if I want to play H1 and H2 within H3 (which is rebranded to WOA) is that correct?

Everyone has the same options. What you owned before doesn't matter. Since you already purchased Part One per your other thread, you'll need the upgrade pack to get to the standard edition.

Note that this still won't include the New York & Haven Island maps. Those are in the H2 Expansion Pass (which, yes, you'll need to purchase if you want to play them in WoA.)

I refuse to re-buy DLC I already own. It is sad to see how far IO Interactive has fallen

I'd argue that it's a fine deal for new customers, but we are not that.

[Mad-Box]

I bought hitman 1 back when it came out, but didn't buy hitman 2 or 3. How does it work for me? Do I keep my progress from back then, or do I not?

[Gloomseeker]

No way I'm spending a dime on content I have previously purchased on the very same platform.
