HITMAN World of Assassination - Simple Content & Purchase Guide
By eli_GO
This is a small but concise guide to being able to buy HITMAN World of Assassination if you are confused with the contents of each edition of the game.
There are many guides on the internet that are great, but I have created this one for those new or veteran players who want to clear their doubts quickly either because you are in a hurry or because you do not want to read so much information that you may find irrelevant.

EDITIONS
This is the list of the three editions of the game that appear on the store page, we'll go over its contents:

HITMAN World of Assassination Part One


This is the most INCOMPLETE EDITION, it contains:
  • HITMAN 1 (2016) GOTY Edition
It's the worst version as it only has 1 game out of 3 and doesn't bring with it Freelancer mode or VR support.

Additional Note: Purchasing this HITMAN WoA Part One + Upgrade Pack will give you HITMAN World of Assassination Base Edition (detailed below).

HITMAN World of Assassination


This is the BASE EDITION of the game, it contains:
  • HITMAN 1 with all its DLCs (GOTY Edition)
  • HITMAN 2 (Standard Edition)
  • HITMAN 3 (Standard Edition)
The only bad thing about this version is that it doesn't come with the content of HITMAN 2 Gold Edition so you'll have to buy the "HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Expansion" DLC.

https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/1829590/HITMAN_3_Access_Pass_HITMAN_2_Expansion/
This DLC is important as it will be necessary to experience the full story and have all the maps at your disposal (i.e. you will have HITMAN 2 Gold Edition If you buy this DLC alongside the base edition).

Additional note for completionists: Buying this Edition plus the DLC mentioned above are all you need to get 100% of the achievements.

HITMAN World of Assassination Deluxe Edition


This edition is obviously the most complete edition you can find. It contains:
  • HITMAN 1 with all its DLCs (GOTY Edition)
  • HITMAN 2 with all its DLCs (Gold Edition)
  • HITMAN 3 with its DLCs for Seven Deadly Sins and Deluxe Pack (Deluxe Edition)
UPGRADE PACKAGES

Upgrade HITMAN WoA to HITMAN WoA Deluxe Edition


If you purchased the HITMAN World of Assassination version (or if you upgraded from Part One to WoA) and want to own the Deluxe Edition content, you must purchase this pack:

https://steamoss.com/steamstore/bundle/30335/HITMAN_World_of_Assassination_Deluxe_Pack/
DLCS THAT ARE NOT IN ANY EDITION OF THE GAME
These DLCs have been added after the release of HITMAN 3 so, for whatever reasons, they have not been included in any edition of the game and must be purchased separately


HITMAN 3 - Trinity Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/1829596/HITMAN_3__Trinity_Pack/?curator_clanid=41819667
This pack is purely cosmetic, it does not present any kind of in-game advantage. You can search for videos or images and, if you're interested, you can buy it whenever you want.

HITMAN 3 - Street Art Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/2184790/HITMAN_3__Street_Art_Pack/?curator_clanid=41819667
This pack is purely cosmetic and are redesigns of existing weapons within the game.

HITMAN 3 - Makeshift Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/2184791/HITMAN_3__Makeshift_Pack/?curator_clanid=41819667
This pack is purely cosmetic and are redesigns of existing weapons within the game.

HITMAN 3 - Sarajevo Six Campaign Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/2475260/HITMAN_3__Sarajevo_Six_Campaign_Pack/?curator_clanid=41819667
A DLC that was exclusive for a long time to the Playstation version; they are extremely easy missions (well, except for one) and don't reward you with anything when you complete them. I only recommend it if you don't think it's too much to pay for it.

HITMAN 3 - The Undying Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/2828470/HITMAN_3__The_Undying_Pack/?curator_clanid=41819667
This DLC brings a Suit, tools (which are reskins of others already in the game) and an Arcade Mode mission that consists of 3 variants of the same Target.

HITMAN 3 - The Disruptor Pack (Delisted)
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/2973650/HITMAN_3__The_Disruptor_Pack/
This DLC brings a Suit, tools and an Arcade Mode mission that consists of 2 variants of the same Target.

HITMAN 3 - The Drop Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/3110360/HITMAN_3__The_Drop_Pack/
This DLC brings a Suit, tools and an Arcade Mode mission that consists of 2 variants of the same Target.

HITMAN 3 - The Splitter Pack
https://steamoss.com/steamstore/app/3254350/HITMAN_3__The_Splitter_Pack/
This DLC brings a Suit, tools and an Arcade Mode mission.
Q&A
Here are some questions with their answers that can be useful to both newcomers and veterans of this franchise.

- HITMAN: Codename 47, HITMAN 2: Silent Assassin and HITMAN: Contracts are the HITMAN 1, 2 and 3 that HITMAN World of Assassination includes?
No, the last trilogy composed of HITMAN (2016), HITMAN 2 (2018), and HITMAN 3 (2021) are the games included in HITMAN WoA.
HITMAN: Codename 47 (2000), HITMAN 2: Silent Assassin (2002), and HITMAN: Contracts (2004) are different games.

- HITMAN WoA contains 3 games, does that mean that in my library I will have the 3 games separately?
No, all 3 games were integrated into one.

- I already have HITMAN (2016) and/or HITMAN 2 (2018) in my library, can I transfer all this content and buy only HITMAN 3 or the content I´m missing?
No, unfortunately you can't. Content transfer has been disabled in January 2023.

- I've played HITMAN and HITMAN 2 before but I don't want to repeat everything I did in those games, can I transfer my progress?
If you played HITMAN 2, you can transfer all that progress to HITMAN WoA. But, if you only played HITMAN (2016) you can't transfer that progress.

More information and progress transfer guide here:
https://ioisupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019061577-Progression-Carryover-Guide?input_string=h3+from+epic+to+h3+steam

- How much space does HITMAN WoA take up on the disc?
Currently, the game size is 75.97 GB.

- I'm only interested in achievements and getting 100%, what do I need to buy?
You need the Base Edition of the game (HITMAN World of Assassination) + "HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Expansion" (Included in the Deluxe Edition).

The best thing would be to give him the Deluxe Edition, otherwise it would not be bad, but it would be an unnecessary process and could be even more expensive (although the latter depends on the country)

Hey, little help want to buy this for my friend he has it wish listed, do I need to get the deluxe or can I get the 90% discount and then the bundle for £17ish for him to have the full game?

IO interactive are now masters of scammy practices

Sigh, what a shitty practice..

Thank you, Hemor. I have decided to edit the guide to avoid misinforming people from different countries.
Hemor Odin 13 Dec, 2024 @ 11:31am 
UK has to pay more as well, means, not the same price.

2,49 £ + 21,10 £ + 17,85 £ = 41,44 £ (= 49,83 €). Deluxe edition is 37,79 £ (= 45,44 €).
Hemor Odin 12 Dec, 2024 @ 11:36am 
Hey Eli, I could imagine, that price is going down, while part one is in the library, + with the other parts in the cart. but tbh, I never had that before. The price difference as I mentioned before, around 5 € difference.

Hello, Hemor. Regarding the purchase of the packs, yes, you must first purchase Part One if you want to purchase the Upgrade Pack to WoA (because this pack is only activated if you own the Part One edition).

As for the prices, I have done the calculations and, at least in the country where I am, it is worth the same if you buy everything together or separately; Then I will edit the guide to clarify that not all countries are the same, my mistake for not having corroborated this before.

And yes, I hope that one day a Complete Edition will be released to make it easier to purchase all the available content of the game.
Hemor Odin 12 Dec, 2024 @ 11:02am 
Since there are still more DLC's coming up, I will wait for a complete collection.
Hemor Odin 12 Dec, 2024 @ 10:59am 
So there is a Hitman Sale now, same thing, separate parts cost more (49,15 €) + if you actually put the 3 parts into your cart, you can't even buy them (greyed out button), due to this:

"1
It looks like you have packages which overlap in your cart. You need to remove the redundant packages from your cart before you can checkout.
2
Your account doesn't own some items that are required for purchasing the items in your cart. You can add the missing items or adjust the contents of your cart to continue."

Part one + upgrade pack are showing the same content.

Edit: My bad, what Eli means is probably, you have to own one of the parts already (starting with part one), then you can buy the other parts and get to the same price. Still, not the same price.
