The PC launch ofHitman 3will be a sneaky one, Io Interactive have announced, initially sneaking onto the Epic Games Store as one of those there timed exclusives. It’ll be a one-year scloosie, their PR peeps tell us, after which I imagine we’ll see it on Steam and such. Enough about stores: Io also revealed another of the game’s settings, England’s moody Dartmoor, where Ian Hitman will visit Thornbridge Manor. Murder most horrid has been committed, and the only person who can solve the mystery is… a professional murderer?

The trilogy has been building into one big ‘World Of Assassination’ with locations, unlocks, and murders from one game transferring to others you buy, and it does seem that will carry over between stores. Io say, “we’re happy to have mastery and location carryover from their existing progress intoHitman 3on Epic Games Store.” Still a bit of a bummer if you’ve been playing along the trilogy on Steam and don’t want to hop on Epic, for whatever reason.
“Self-publishing Hitman 3 is a big step for IO Interactive in achieving our highly ambitious goals as an independent studio,” Io CEO Hakan Abrak said in today’s announcement. “Furthermore, this partnership with Epic has given us the freedom to create the game exactly as we imagined, for our fans and for our community uncompromised.”
Hitman 3 is comingto the Epic Games Storein January 2021, as well as Xboxes, PlayStations, and Stadia. Ahead of the launch, Io plan toshut down servers for Hitman 2’s Ghost Mode, a PvP mode which will not be returning in the third game. They will remove co-op from Hitman 2’s Sniper Assassin mode as some point too.
Io also announced today that Hitman will next free to keep next week on Epic, available from Thursday the 27th through September 3rd.
