Next January 20th Hitman 3 will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, Google Stadia and on PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store. And it is precisely this last version that we intend to talk to you now, because for a few minutes new rumors have emerged concerning the ways in which it will be possible access the levels of Hitman 2 on Hitman 3.
In August 2020 the developers of I / O Interactive had stated that players would be able to import their progress from Hitman 2 at no additional cost. The statement had reassured all those who intend to buy Hitman 3 among the pages of the Epic Games Store catalog (which does not currently contain Hitman 2). So there seemed to be no problem with that and that it would be possible to load your assassin careers into Hitman 3, from the previous game. Today, however, the guys from I / O Interactive have declared (in the pre-launch guide dedicated to Hitman 3) that the progress and contents of Hitman 2 will be available in Hitman 3 only for PC players who purchase the dedicated DLC. Importing content and progress will need to be done via a dedicated website that will be made available prior to the release of the new chapter of the series. The guide says, in fact:
After completing the data import process, Hitman 2 players will be able to launch Hitman 3 with their existing player profile, XP rank, position mastery levels, position mastery unlock, challenge progress, challenge unlock and suits / unlocks Elusive Target. All of these things are what we call 'progression'. It is not possible to choose specific items to report. It's all or nothing. We have done everything possible to make this process smooth and easy to use, ”the study wrote. “However, due to various circumstances beyond our control, we want to recognize that the process is different from our initial plans for PC gamers.
They are highlighted some limitations to the data import process between the second and third chapters, such as the inability to use the legacy data between different versions of the affected games. Thus, the achievements achieved in Hitman 2 PC version will only be available in Hitman 3 PC version, as well as achievements achieved on PlayStation 4 will only be available on PlayStation 4 (and PlayStation 5). For a few hours we have published an unmissable special dedicated to most iconic assassins in video games, waiting to return to take on the role of Agent 47 in Hitman 3. Finally, in case you missed it, we invite you to take a look at the our preview dedicated to the latest effort of I / O Interactive.
