'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.' However, due to various circumstances out of our control, we want to acknowledge that the process is different to our initial plans for PC players.'ДЇor what it's worth, IO has outlined some steps it's taking to try and smooth out the increasingly rocky transition in its pre-launch guide, one of which includes an initial 80 percent discount for the DLC containing Hitman 2's levels on the EGS and promises it'll 'continue to be discounted regularly.'

'WeвЂ™ve done everything possible to make this process smooth and player-friendly.

However, Hitman 2 never released on the Epic Games Store, meaning PC players hoping to get free access to its levels are out of luck.

IO Interactive has recently clarified that players can purchase DLC to access legacy levels, but will only be able to download the DLC for free if they already own the content on the platform where they're purchasing Hitman 3. This means that players who might've purchased either Hitman (2016) or Hitman 2 on Steam won't be able to play either game's levels for free in Hitman 3 on the Epic Games Store. The difficulty comes from the fact that Hitman 3 is launching as an Epic Games Store exclusive. Unfortunately, the nature of storefronts and game exclusivity (paired with some messaging missteps) has complicated that process on PC, and has some players expressing frustration on social media. Still, this might be relieving if you were worried you might have to re-buy older games just to enjoy the continuity IO said youвЂ™d get.This means that Hitman 3 players that also own Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 on the same platform can play the expansive sandbox levels featured in both older games in Hitman 3 (and with Hitman 3 mechanic tweaks) when the game launches next week. While console gamers will get to import content for free, thereвЂ™s a chance youвЂ™ll still pay some money on PC. You wonвЂ™t be quite so lucky with Hitman 2, but both the Standard and Gold Access Passes will be available at 80 percent discounts for two weeks after Hitman 3вЂ™s launch. Anyone who owns the original Hitman on EGS will get a free GOTY Access Pass when they buy the third game, too. IO said it would make the Hitman 1 GOTY Access Pass (to transfer content to the new game) available for free to all PC customers who either pre-order Hitman 3 on the Epic Games Store or buy it within the first 10 days. It outlined in a guide that it was вЂњcontinuing to work on a solutionвЂќ that would allow importing locations for free, but didnвЂ™t say when it would be ready beyond sometime in the вЂњcoming weeks.вЂќ The developer has promised that PC gamers who own Hitman or Hitman 2 wonвЂ™t have to purchase those games another time just to access their earlier material in the new assassin title.

IO InteractiveвЂ™s plans to let Hitman 3 players use earlier gamesвЂ™ locations might not have panned out as planned, but that doesnвЂ™t mean youвЂ™ll have to re-buy those first two titles.
