It will also be possible for PC players to import locations from the previous two games into HITMAN 3 on Epic Games Store. With that in mind, we are pleased to confirm that PC players will be able to carryover their current progression and unlocks from HITMAN 2 on Steam into HITMAN 3 on Epic Games Store. Thankfully, there is information about this on the official IO blog post for the new Hitman game: This was one of the biggest USPs for the game. One concern raised by fans of the previous games is whether their progress in previous Hitman games, the World of Assassination journey, would carry over into Hitman 3. Some view it as anti-consumer, others don’t like the monopoly that it causes in the games marketplace. In partnership with Epic, many game developers claim that the extra funding from the huge game’s company gives the studio more freedom to build the game as they want.īut fans of certain game franchises dislike the exclusivity of the Epic Games Store. IO previously had a deal with Warner for the previous Hitman games, but they negotiated out of that deal after the success of Hitman 2. According to Hakan Abrak, director of the studio, this is a “big step” for the company. This is the first time that IO is independently publishing their title. There will be 12 months of exclusivity on Epic for the game on PC. IO’s classic assassination title is also set to release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Series X, and Google Stadia. Hitman 3 is the latest title to be confirmed as an Epic Games Store exclusive when the game releases in January 2021.
