HITMAN 3 PRE-LAUNCH GUIDE (PROGRESSION CARRYOVER) Posted: 15 Jan 2021 07:48 AM PST https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-pre-launch-guide/ --- Welcome to the HITMAN 3 Pre-launch guide. This blog post will be our place to share in-depth details about HITMAN 3, including how to carryover your progression, our new Access Pass system, what to expect on launch day and more. We are excited to see all of our players embark on Agent 47's next journey and experience the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. Before you start reading, this is how the game begins. Release DetailsHITMAN 3 will be available on 20 January 2021 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Stadia, Nintendo Switch and PC. We're happy to confirm that the Nintendo Switch version of HITMAN 3 will also launch on 20 January. The Switch version of HITMAN 3 is playable via cloud streaming technology. A stable and permanent internet connection is required to play. Release Time 📷 Pre-load (For PS4 and PS5 owners in Asia, please note that HITMAN 3 will not be available for pre-order or pre-load. This is due to recent changes in the age ratings systems in those regions. HITMAN 3 will be available for purchase at the above time.) Day One Patch Game Size Using this method allows us to reduce the file size for all players to 60-70 GB and has the benefit of making the process of redeeming or purchase access to HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 as simple as possible. (We talk about that more later). Also, we want to clarify that reducing the file size doesn't mean that we've made any compromises on the visual/audio quality of the game. If you're curious about the technical aspects that made this possible, we recently talked to PC Gamer about it. HITMAN 3 - EditionsThere are two editions of HITMAN 3; The Standard Edition and the Deluxe Edition. – The Standard Edition includes the HITMAN 3 base game. Nice and simple. The only difference between the two editions is the Deluxe Pack, which includes 6 Deluxe Escalations, in-game suits, items and weapons, a digital soundtrack for each game in the World of Assassination trilogy, an introduction to each HITMAN 3 campaign mission by the Game Director and a digital artbook that highlights the characters, targets and missions included in the trilogy. A free IOI Account is required to download the digital soundtracks and World of HITMAN Art Book. Here's a visual look at everything that's packed into the HITMAN 3 Deluxe Edition: 📷 Next-gen Upgrade When making a digital purchase, you will automatically be entitled to download the next-gen version when you access the game on that console. When making a physical disc purchase, you'll need to insert the current gen disc into your next gen console and you'll be able to download the next-gen version for no additional cost. Simply keep the disc in your machine whenever you want to play and you'll be good to go. Pre-order Bonus The Trinity Pack includes a total of 9 items, with 3 distinct sets that represent a different game from the trilogy. Each set includes a suit, briefcase and weapon. From the White of HITMAN 1, the Red of HITMAN 2 or the Black of HITMAN 3, you'll have all 9 items in your inventory to mix and match as you like. The classic Hitman insignia is etched onto the items in gold to add an elegant flourish. Note: The Trinity Pack will not be included with either the Standard Edition or Deluxe Edition after January 20. 📷 At selected retailers, pre-ordering a physical edition of HITMAN 3 will also include an exclusive physical passport. This unique item is filled with details and references from Agent 47's career and commemorates 20 years of Hitman. See the list of retailers in our previous pre-order blog post. Progression CarryoverAll current HITMAN 2 players will be able to carryover their hard-earned progression into HITMAN 3. After completing the carryover process, HITMAN 2 players will be able to start HITMAN 3 with their existing player profile, XP rank, location mastery levels, location mastery unlocks, challenge progress, challenge unlocks and Elusive Target suits/unlocks. All of those things are what we call 'progression'. It's not possible to pick and choose elements to carryover. It's all or nothing. The carryover process requires an IOI Account and can only be done through a web browser, it's not possible to do it in-game. We will have the website ready to go before launch, but it is not live yet. Once it is ready, we will share the news via ioi.dk and update this post. 📷 Here's more about how it will work: – Progression can only be carried over from HITMAN 2, including progression you have from the Legacy Pack (HITMAN 1 locations within HITMAN 2). – Progression can only be carried over from within the same platform. There are only three options: HITMAN 2 (PlayStation) → HITMAN 3 (PlayStation) Note: "PlayStation" = PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5. Essentially, it doesn't matter what specific console you have earned progression on. It only matters that progression can only move forward and within the same console 'family'. – Progression carryover is a one-time process, meaning once you have performed a carryover for a particular platform, you will not be able to do so again at a later time. – If you have played HITMAN 2 on multiple platforms, you CAN perform a carryover for EACH of those profiles, but only within the same platform, as listed above. For example, if you play H2 on Xbox and PlayStation, you can carryover your H2 Xbox progression into H3 Xbox and independently carryover your H2 PlayStation progress into H3 PlayStation. – When you complete the carryover process, your existing HITMAN 2 progress will remain as it is (i.e it will not be removed/deleted). However, your progression in H2 and H3 will NOT be synchronised. – If you have already started playing HITMAN 3 and THEN choose to perform the progression carryover process, you will lose all progression earned within HITMAN 3 up to that point. We recommend you carryover progress before starting HITMAN 3. 📷 What exactly will be carried over? When you start the process, you will need to select an account that you have linked to your IOI Account. You will then be able to review the HITMAN 2 progress earned on that account and confirm that you want to perform the carryover process into HITMAN 3. The following progression will be included in the carryover process: player profile, XP rank, location mastery levels, location mastery unlocks, challenge progress, challenge unlocks and Elusive Target suits/unlocks. Savegame files are not carried over. Note that there are a small amount of items/unlocks that are not carried over through this process, such as the rewards unlocked through the HITMAN 1 GOTY Escalations, becuase they are linked to a purchase. Those items will be available in HITMAN 3 when you redeem access to the associated content. In addition, the ICA Electrocution Phone has been retired and will not be available in HITMAN 3. HITMAN 3 on Stadia HITMAN 3 on Nintendo Switch Access Pass FAQHITMAN 3 allows players to access locations from the previous games in the trilogy (H1 and H2) and play them all under one roof. Essentially, we have setup H1 and H2 as DLC for HITMAN 3. You can buy or redeem/download an Access Pass and get access to its content within H3. For example, if you buy the HITMAN 2 Standard Access Pass DLC for HITMAN 3, you'll get access to the locations and missions included in the HITMAN 2 Standard Edition within HITMAN 3. 📷 In addition to the option of purchasing an Access Pass, it is also possible to redeem/download an Access Pass for no additional cost, if you have already purchased that content from the same store that you have pre-ordered or purchased HITMAN 3. To make this happen, we detect what you already have installed for HITMAN 2 and can make the corresponding Access Pass available for no additional cost on the same store. This process will work between console generations. For example, if you own HITMAN 2 on PS4, you'll be able to download the HITMAN 2 Access Pass DLC in HITMAN 3 for both PS4 and PS5. The same applies for the Xbox family of consoles as well. We know that's a lot of information, but once you've seen all of the Access Pass options, and there are five in total, it will make more sense. 📷 HITMAN 1 GOTY Access Pass How to get it – PC (Epic): If you pre-purchase or purchase HITMAN 3 on EGS within the first 10 days of launch, you will be granted the HITMAN 1 GOTY Access Pass for no additional charge. In addition, if you own or redeemed a free copy of HITMAN – The Complete First Season on EGS when it was available for free, you will be able to download this Access Pass at any time after purchasing HITMAN 3. 📷 HITMAN 2 Standard Access Pass How to get it – Disc: [See below] – PC (Epic): As HITMAN 2 is not available on EGS, we have set up an 80% discount for this Access Pass for the first 14 days after HITMAN 3's launch. HITMAN 2 Standard Access Pass [DISC] How to get it 📷 HITMAN 2 Gold Access Pass How to get it 📷 HITMAN 2 Expansion Access Pass How to get it HITMAN 3 Access Pass on PC
Our hope is that these initiatives help to ensure all HITMAN 3 PC players can able to enjoy the new game with full access to HITMAN 1 and their progression carried over as a minimum. HITMAN 3 Access Pass on Stadia HITMAN 3 Access Pass on Switch HITMAN VRAt launch, HITMAN 3 will support PS VR and all locations in the World of Assassination trilogy can be experienced in a new first-person perspective. Yes, that means you can traverse the outside of the tallest building in the (Hitman) world in PS VR! If you own the previous games from the trilogy on PS4, you can also access locations from them within HITMAN 3. That's more than 20 Hitman locations from the World of Assassination trilogy to enjoy in PS VR. 📷 You can either play HITMAN 3 in PS VR natively on your PS4 or via backward compatibility on PS5. To make sure all PS VR owners can experience the game in VR, we're including a free digital copy of the PS4 version of HITMAN 3 with all PS5 copies, whether you choose to buy it via disc or digital. If you are playing on PS5, your progress between the PS4 (VR) and PS5 (non-VR) versions is shared between the two versions. You'll be able to play the non-VR version of HITMAN 3 on PS5 with the next-gen improvements that we support (including Dual Sense support!) and then switch to the PS4 version for VR and all of your items and unlocks will be right there waiting for you. You will need to have both versions of the game installed on your PS5 to make that happen. 📷 Whether you play on PS4 or PS5, a DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller is required to play HITMAN 3 in VR. Playing HITMAN 3 in VR on PS5 also requires a PlayStation Camera adaptor. For full details on the requirements for playing PS VR on your PS5, including how to order a free PlayStation Camera adaptor, see the official PlayStation PS VR site. More to come📷 We have got our sights firmly set on January 20 and our entire team is doing everything in our power to make the launch of HITMAN 3 as successful as possible. It's an incredibly exciting time for us to be so close to releasing our next game, as well as deliver the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. Please keep the conversation going on Twitter, Discord, Reddit and in HitmanForum and be excellent to each other. The World of Assassination awaits… [link] [comments] | ||

Hitman 3's Epic Store exclusivity means Hitman 2 levels won't be free after all Posted: 15 Jan 2021 02:53 PM PST

Posted: 15 Jan 2021 09:15 AM PST You can download your data from personal.hitman.io. Information on what data that includes here. You can see they clearly have enough data here to determine if we own H2 and which version, but they were either too lazy to implement a system to grant the access pass or were hoping we would roll over and buy it a second time. Unacceptable. Edit: Listen, IOI did say this was "out of [their] control," but they still did the following:
Whether or not the final pricing decision was actually up to Epic or Warner Bros, IOI's hands are not clean of this debacle. Though they've had a generally OK track record in the past, that does not mean they are innocent in this. This may sound a bit like a conspiracy theory, but it's not uncommon for companies (especially video game developers/publishers) to test the waters like this to see how much they can get away with. Even if this was truly, 100% beyond their control, the community reaction can determine how they handle events like this in the future. Vote with your wallet, there's nothing wrong with waiting.

Hitman 3 on PC is the worst as of now Posted: 15 Jan 2021 11:48 AM PST To sum things up:
Things IOI lied to us about hitman 3 in general:
Essentially EGS is the most expensive version of hitman 3, while also completely lacking features compared to other versions and STILL this is the platform where you play the game after all other platforms started playing as there is no preload. From the look of things it seems like IOI's fault in many aspects, but despite the fault being on Epic or IOI. As a PC player of hitman who owns and played every hitman game from Codename 47 and even preorderd the digital deluxe edition of hitman 3 on EGS. I can't help but feel betrayed and insulted in my ability to trust IOI to do the things they promised even after I was ready to face many compramises on PC version. Dissapointing.

They want us to re-buy Hitman 2 again? Seriously? Actually Seriously? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 09:12 AM PST What an absolute fucking joke, nice surprise to drop on us 5-days before release. I supported these guys by buying the most expensive Hitman II edition and all it's done now is bite me in the ass, "H-heavily discounted" Fuck off IO, seriously. Actually having the balls to ask for me to pay for it again. This is some slimey bullshit. Find a way to get your customers access. [link] [comments] | ||

Anyone else pissed at Epic Games regarding Hitman 3? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 12:39 PM PST I am, most certainly... I won't be able to play the game for an entire year after it comes out because Fortnite money buys exclusivity deals, on PC! I absolutely refuse to buy the game on Epic Games Store, not only because I own all of the previous Hitmans on Steam, but the platform is extremely barebones and inferior to Steam Not gatekeeping them from selling games, but buying exclusivity deals to be "competitive" with Steam is nonsense and should not be a thing... [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 15 Jan 2021 06:05 PM PST I don't post on Reddit that much. But this shit, right here makes my blood boil. I have spent so much money on steam already, and I am going to have to spend even more for that again. Because I want to play this so bad, I'm already buying it on EG, that makes me irritated but hey that's business. But then as I have all content up to this purchased, nah man you gonna have to buy it again and god knows I'm gonna but that doesn't change how irritated that makes me. I think one funny thing is that this topic at some point will be considered spam, which shows how bad of an issue this is. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 15 Jan 2021 09:20 AM PST 80% discount or not, they should have made it clear from the get-go that we'd need to buy it on Epic so that we wouldn't buy the first three games on Steam. And even then, there has to be a way to get Steam saves recognized on Epic, right? If your IOI account reflects that you bought a PC copy of the game, they shouldn't make you buy another one. [link] [comments] | ||
There seriously nothing in the IOI Account data that they can use? Posted: 16 Jan 2021 01:36 AM PST Serious question, is there no information stored on my IOI account that shows I own and have played the Hitman 2 content that can be used to at least provide codes to unlock it on ES? Obviously there is no way for me to know how their backend is set up but this sounds like BS to me, and makes me glad I didn't pre-order Hitman 3. Unless IOI can change this I'm gonna wait till it comes to Steam. [link] [comments] | ||
I'm back with more confusing pics! Is this an accurate interpretation of the H3 Access Packs stuff? Posted: 15 Jan 2021 04:17 PM PST

Posted: 15 Jan 2021 12:58 PM PST I can wait till it comes out on Steam. Not supporting business practices where they don't put consumer first. Can anyone direct me towards a way to cancel my preorder? [link] [comments] |
