HITMAN 3 Becoming World of Assassination [Jan 03, 2023, 10:35 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
IO Interactive
announces that as of January 26th, the name of HITMAN 3 will change to
World of Assassination. This is the realization of goals for the series
dating back to the announcement of HITMAN in
2015. This is also "drastically simplifying" the purchase process, which had
become increasingly complicated with each new game in the series. Word is:
"Essentially, these two changes will mean that all new players and existing
HITMAN 3 owners will have the same base content ownership. There will be no more
confusion over which edition to buy, what content you own, how to redeem Legacy
packs or import locations, etc. We’re done with that." All HITMAN 3 players will
receive a free upgrade to the new edition on all platforms. Once the change is
in place there will be only two purchase choices for potential players:
We’re approaching these changes with a no compromises approach. We want to make absolutely sure that the experience of entering or enjoying the World of Assassination is simple and straightforward.
Let’s break it down. We’re streamlining the (many) offerings currently on the stores down to two products. These will replace existing ways to buy HITMAN 1, HITMAN 2 or HITMAN 3.
- HITMAN – World of Assassination (approx. $70 USD or local equivalent)
Includes: HITMAN 3, plus H1 GOTY Access Pass and H2 Standard Access Pass.- HITMAN – World of Assassination Deluxe Pack (approx. $30 USD or local equivalent)
Includes: H3 Deluxe Pack, H3 Seven Deadly Sins Collection and H2 Expansion Access Pass.

RogueSix posted a link to a chart that explained the previous versions.
Haha, yeah, and as if that chart wasn't crazy enough, someone has also written up a very comprehensive Steam Store Guide for Hitman 3. The length of that guide alone is a nice indicator how insane IOI's product "management" has been up to now.
Anyway, I owned Hitman GOTY and Hitman 2 Gold up to now but that World of Assassination stuff definitely only made stuff even more confusing for me so I caved and bought a copy of Hitman 3 Deluxe + 7Sins today (GreenManGaming has a nice price for it).
I feel this is a better option than waiting another eternity for that $70 version and the $30 Deluxe Pack to go on sale for the same price that Hitman 3 can be grabbed for right now.
After today's purchase of ~€35 for Hitman 3 Deluxe plus 7Sins, I now own the full package from A to Z (Hitman 1 + 2 + 3 including all DLC/GOTY/Gold bonus missions). Phew.
