Hey,
I know the pages are going to update very soon with including exactly editions etc.
so should be there later this week.
Forgive me for being so forward, but perhaps that information should be there before selling the editions? Pre-order or not, customers shouldnât be purchasing things when they do not know all the contents.
With the HD Enhanced versions of Blood Money and Absolution existing (with no physical) and the upcoming releases of Codename 47, Silent Assassin and Contracts (which we still donât know much about), wouldnât it be better to release a nice phsyical collection of all the games if it was supposed to celebrate the 25th anniversary? Iâm sure it would need multiple disks and be more expensive but it seems more worth it. This seems like a waste especially since it doesnât even include all of the WoA content.
The shadow box and card are neat. An exclusive physical item would be the only thing motivating me to buy something like this though and I donât find these cool enough. If the physical item were another figurine like thisâŚ
then maybe. I really liked the little passport that came with the physical deluxe version of H3. As it is, this doesnât pique my interest a lot.
Also, I had to do a double take when I saw â25th anniversaryâ and âworld of assassinationâ together. Like, surely it couldnât have been that long??
But I see now itâs meant to mean the 25th anniversary of the franchise
Wasnât this just an assumption from us after watching the large IO stream? I think what we see here is what the thing we saw there turned out to be.
Itâs worth noting that in a Twitch stream after the Showcase, these were explicitly referred to as âremastersâ by the IO staff hosting the streamâŚ
This would be even more disappointing than if the ports just get canceled lol
That being said, a bundle compiling ALL Hitman games with some artwork book would be great to celebrate the milestone ![]()
Or maybe a special âlegacyâ map celebrating 25 years of the franchise within HITMAN could be great ![]()
But which level to choose? ![]()
So much possibilities through 5 games at leastâŚ
Realised that the trailer for this box is a call-back updated version of the disc release of season 1.
How appropriate.
I see you, I see you.
Recap of about what we âknowâ for those interested
Pretty sure the item in the middle of the trilogy labelled 2026 is nothing to do with the item in the top left labelled 25 Anniversary, releasing in 2025
Thanks for reminding, surely these must be separate things.
Ochoa harassing IO staff for information spotted
Thereâs only preorders for the US and Austria which is weird.
So essentially, theyâre selling an anniversary edition that celebrates practically nothing about Hitman or Hitman WOA. But donât worry, you can play those Celebrity Elusives (which arenât all out yet!)
Itâs a celebrity bundle disguised as an anniversary edition, which doesnât contain the one DLC that has celebratory elements for the franchise. Insulting the franchise to stroke oneâs ego. Thatâs a new low, IO.
Donât buy this. If you have bought it, refund it. Donât encourage this behavour. The franchise deserves better treatment than this when it comes to celebratory editions.
Ok slightly disregard what I said above lmao
IOI (combatglue) were awesome and sent me this as a thanks. It was an honor to be considered and now, actually holding it in personâŚthe shadow box is awesome. I have it in front of our window and the way it catches the light is wicked. It came with a PS5 copy of the game and Iâm on Xbox, so itâs just going to be a fun display thing. Even so, itâs still neat ![]()

Silent Assassin and Contracts on PS5 or Iâll riot.
The surprise is just David Bateson
The current roadmap ends approximately around the 21st, so Iâm betting on a 25th anniversary roadmap with the next CelebET coming in late December
