HITMAN 3 announcements

Why? It would just add to the confusion.

Its better that its hidden and relies on things in-game to let people know it exists imo.

I only need the Hitman 3 levels but they refuse to sell them to me without a bunch of extras that I already have. I keep checking in every time something changes to see if that’s an option, and still nope

Okay, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone post about this, but IOI has (had?) a current initiative to make its games more accessible and to learn from the people themselves who need it.

They also seemed to have hosted 3 Q&A interviews with prominent accessibility consultants and advocates last year. (Oct. 2022, Nov. 2022, Apr. 2023)

This is a really nice discovery, and a very needed change in IOI’s game design. They’ve made great strides over the course of Hitman 3 (I particularly like the Toggle Sprint options they finally added) but I’ve felt like they definitely could do more to have a dedicated Accessibility Menu.
I mean, I still don’t think we have any colour-blind options for the game! That’s like… standard in games these days!

Bit of a meaningless number tbh. The vast majority of those players will be people that downloaded the Free Starter Pack, played it once and never purchased a thing.

Congratulations IOI!! :clap:t2::clap:t2::grin:

Great news for Hitman! As the franchise has and continues to attract new players, hopefully this means we get a new Hitman game in development quicker than we expect :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Is 75 millionen much? I mean compared to other games. I don’t know how many people play games these days.

And does 75 million players imply 75 million purchases of H3, or could that figure be lower?

Weā€˜ve been discussing the announcement over here as well: Hitman News Thread

On the high number I wrote:

I didn’t think about it at first, but you’re right. The 75 million number must include sales from H1 & H2. 75M for H3 alone, would put the game in the top 4 spot of best-selling games overall, even before Red Dead Redemption 2, which is a much bigger title (List of best-selling video games - Wikipedia). Technically, number of players and sales aren’t even the same, since some players own the game on more than one platform/launcher.
