Classic Trilogy (IOI Showcase 2025)

During the IOI Showcase on june 6th 2025, they’ve shown the image above, but then decided for whatever reason to totally ignore that. Why is that?

And more important, WHAT is it gonna be?
HD Remaster trilogy including Codename 47? For consoles?? For mobile phones?

@Combatglue we need some answers here, you (or more like the company you work for :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:) can’t just show the image above and act like you didn’t? Was it a mistake that this was shown? Was it a placeholder for something?

I understand that you probably can’t just spill the beans here, but man, we could need some answers here, even its just a “SOON:pleading_face:

What does HMF think this is going to be?

  • HD Trilogy Remaster for PC only
  • HD Trilogy Remaster for all Platforms
  • Hakan Abraks revenge on MrOchoa for starting the rumor that he owns a golden Helicopter
  • It was a mistake
  • It was a placeholder so there wasnt an empty space on the presentation

Voting for what I think it should be, not what I think it is.

And what do you think it is?

I think it was one of the two bad options in that poll, neither of which I will invoke by typing out.

It’s crazy that this has not been addressed from IO yet.

Is it though? IOI not addressing things is kind of their calling card for the last few years.

For the record: at the end of the showcase, when I made the list of the announcements, I contacted CombatGlue to double check it. (don’t want misinformation)
And also to ask about this “Hitman Classics 2026” thing.

He’s trying to find the answer, and will communicate if he finds it (and it’s communicable).
At the time the teams were in LA and not really available/presumably sleeping.

(that’s why it’s noted, but not in the announcement list proper in the showcase topic)

Also LOL and also SMH about the ordering of these “classics”

Either made in a rush or something, but clearly someone thought “ah yes, it goes Hitman C47, Contracts, and then Hitman 2 because it has a sequel number”

2 should be bookended by the two other games!

I have the correct order in my room :face_with_tongue:

@LandirtHome alright, good thinking! I thought I’d start a new thread specifically for this topic, since its the most exciting thing in the last 10 years.

Like I said, 2026 is going to be a great year for gaming.

I´m inclined to believe it´s gonna be something like Blood Money - Reprisal, otherwise Blood Money should be included if it´s a cross-platform remaster.

But Blood Money is available on all platforms, including the current gen consoles?

Oh, is it? (on current-gen consoles I mean) I find it strange they would do a cross-platform (specifically cross-platform, not console-only) remaster of the other classics and not include it. I mean they’re all on PC and I don’t think they need a remaster, just a next-gen patch of sorts to make them work without 3rd party fixes and all sorts of tinkering (though granted, BM is the only one which doesn’t require much of that to work as it should).

With backwards compatibility yep otherwise no

Don’t see PS5 and Series X there :wink:

The ps4 version is playable on ps5 tho, I’d like to imagine same for Xbox.

Hitman 2 and Contracts are on Xbox 360/PS3 and the PS3 Version is for whatever reason not included in the classics catalogue.

Bundling BM with Absolution was just stupid and still a reason why I’ve not bought it yet as it’s always so expensive considering I have no interest in playing absolution ever again.

HOW did they make an announcement like this without even the community manager knowing what they’re talking about :sob::sob::sob:
