It’s an exciting time for Hitman fans. In a recent livestream chock-full of details about the year ahead for Agent 47, IO Interactive revealed that Hitman 3 – as well as the brand-new Hitman Trilogy – is coming to Steam, and soon. The studio announced the big day as January 20, but now we’ve got the exact time, too.
IOI has revealed that the Hitman 3 Steam release time is 10am PT / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET. The studio shared the information in a tweet that also reminds fans of the download size (you’ll need 65MB of space freed up on your PC), and gives players details on how to carry over their Hitman 2 progression.
“Hitman 3 is the final game in the World of Assassination trilogy,” IOI explains in the post (sob). “All Hitman 2 players have the option of performing a one-time carryover of their progression, allowing them to start Hitman 3 with their existing profile, XP, suits, items, and unlocks.” It’s worth noting that the process the studio’s linked to above doesn’t let you import your locations from Hitman 2 – this is handled through the new Access Pass.
“Essentially, we have set up H1 and H2 as DLC for Hitman 3,” the devs explain in a previous post, with Hitman 3 letting players access the previous two entries’ locations and missions and “play them all under one roof”. The way to do this is by buying an Access Pass – for example, if you pick up the Hitman 2 Standard Edition Access Pass, you’ll then get to play all of that edition’s locations and missions through Hitman 3.
