Hitman World of Assassination - 3.270 - June 2026 Patch Notes

Obviously, the best thing here is the menu music update. This is huge. Like listen, H3’s music is wonderful but H1’s “World of Assassination” just set the tone perfectly. Not to mention it’s the subtitle of the trilogy now, so…

Anyway, you can tell they took fans’ feedback to heart here especially with some of the specific bugs. I remember seeing a handful posted here first, so that’s cool.

HOWEVER, the aforementioned voyeurism challenge (the one where you take a picture in Dartmoor with the flirting maid and servant?) is still bugged for me, from day 1 on Xbox. 47 could probably fill the entirety of Dartmoor’s mansion with the pictures he’s taken while trying to achieve this challenge. It still won’t unlock.

IOI and patches-breaking-things-that-were-previously-working is like @Dribbleondo and an unnecessary ellipsis. You wish that you could take the good without the bad, but they’re both a fact of life.

IO Interactive has become a monkey paw. We get something we want, but a new game breaking bug is introduced. We get a rebranded Disruptor but we have to pay for it again. At this point I’m affraid to ask for a new map because I feel that if we get one the entirely of Paris might stop working or something.

So uh…Colorado’s water tower got changed. You are able to now able to cross the gap to the other side…

…and there’s now a new pipe!

HITMAN32026.06.06-18.11-ezgif.com-optimize2

This hasn’t been mentioned on the patch notes AFAIK, so this was quite the surprise to find! These ideas were both originally features of Consistent Colorado:


Funnily enough I found out about this because they deleted one of the models related to it, so I couldn’t get it to work. So I went in-game to work out what the heck was going on and…I found out they changed it.

Th…thank you? This does make me wonder what other changes there are, but I suspect there are none, given there were no other breakages.

Incidentally, the mod needs updating on my end to fix/ declutter it a bit, and I’m doing like, seven things at once right now. Hopefully a fix will be out tomorrow, though it may need manually updating for reasons best left unexplained here.

A good way to enter discreetly the Colorado map if you start at the water tower in a Freelancer mission.

I have a feeling that might be why the pipe is there instead of on the warehouse,

I was already messing around with guard routines on the roof of the warehouse to make things a bit easier with timings, but sure, this works too!

Well, it’s good to see IOI taking inspiration from members of community, and not just by adding new challenges or items.

Oh, thats a neat change. Should be something they’re shouting from the rooftops imo.

Yeah, i’m not sure why this went undocumented. Maybe as a surprise?

(please tell people these things, I care more about that).

That barrier on the right after climbing the ladder is a bit dumb and should go now too. May as well have a full 360 use of it at this point.

That’s really nice. That starting location was always a pain, especially on master mode because of all the guards and could potentially ruin runs on freelancer.

This is the type of thing I would like to see in the patch notes, not if whether a disguise has a wristwatch or not.

Btw arty could u make note of two major bugs with this patch: small hidden stashes are broken and poisoning is now illegal in all disguises

10 Likes

Yeah, this is one of the most major bugs that we’ve encountered. Grinds a lot to a halt.

Has anybody checked if poisoning with the Black Almond’s Dagger or the new emetic knife is illegal? Obviously normal poisoning is now illegal, but maybe it’s ok to do it if you have a knife. Which was never ok before, but might be ok now, because reasons.

I know everyone’s already said this, but just to show proof in case it helps with fixing, here’s the illegal poison bug and stash point bug. @IOI_Artjoms Please send these for hotfixes, it’s really bad.

I remember giving you the idea for the water tower pipe and I always told Samir and Arti about the UCP and your mod when I was giving feedback. Maybe they listened! :pink_heart:

I’m happy something I’ve had a little part of is now in the game, even though I didn’t really influence it most likely hehe.

I’m just glad there’s a way off the water tower that doesn’t get me caught 9 times out of 10 :grin:

The new water tower is great. But honestly it wasn’t difficult to start there in freelancer:
