Finally got my game, earlier than expected too, It will be a nice addition to my collection. Won’t be able to try it until saturday though.

I only have one question for those who pre-ordered the specialist edition on amazon. Did you get a code for the Deluxe upgrade? The Amazon page said it was included, however, my copy only came with a code for the classic tuxedo but not the deluxe stuff. Is this an error on my part, or from amazon?

Just to be clear, I pre-ordered the game on may 20th.

Yes I bought that edition. The code came inside the box. I would contact Amazon if you didn’t get it

Amazon support proved to be a waste of time. Almost two hours being transferred all over the place just to be told ā€œbetter replace it thenā€ like a damn Monty Python sketch.

I’ll try contacting IO directly.

That’s a bummer, I am really confused how there isn’t a code when the games are shrink wrapped. I hope IOI can sort you put

To be honest, this was always going to be the case given how long Bond has been around and the fact there hasn’t been a game in like forever.

47 will always be far more superior to me though!

Way I see it. Now that they finally got Bond out of their system maybe the next Hitman game won’t be full of Bond references like WOA lol. I am definitely excited to see Hitman evolve past WOA.

Really, if they just make a nice blend of the best parts of Blood Money, Absolution and WoA - and bring back the ICA - they’d be able to do just fine.

I would like to add Contracts to that (great game). Whether the ICA is back or it’s the same organization by another name is fine with me, I would just like to to be more underground again and less MI6 wannabe. It’s also kind of crazy story wise that we broke the ICA twice now lol.

Three times. Blood Money and Absolution. ICA was always like MI6 and CIA and all those. It got bigger as 47 kept earning them more money and the world got more interconnected. I do think they should dial down the scale of their involvement now to dead drops for intel and such, like in the first few games.

Oh I didn’t realize that’s what happened in BM. I guess it’s time for a replay. I’ve played each game once after Hitman2016 got me into the series

If you extract your Player Profile from the 007 servers, you can see some challenges for as yet unreleased escalations/operations in Tac Sim. :eyes:

IO be leaking things themselves. :joy:

Yeah I’m really looking forward to Hitman’s future! That eventual return of 47 is going to hit like crack! :wink:

It will only hit if we have functioning elevators back in the series. :melting_face:

Apparently the game’s budget was $200 million, which is $20 million more than the combined budget of all three games in the WoA trilogy.
