IO Interactive, the developers of Hitman 3, made a few huge announcements today. First, Hitman 3 now has an exact release date of January 20, 2021, and will be offered on Google Stadia, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
The developers previously stated that Hitman 3 will have a January release but today’s announcement confirms the exact date. Additionally, the developers also explained that players who purchased the digital version on the PlayStation 4 will have a free upgrade on the PlayStation 5. This is also true in the case of the Xbox consoles since Hitman 3 will be utilizing the console’s Smart Delivery.
However, IO Interactive didn’t clarify if players who will purchase the physical copy of the game will have the same option. Pre-orders for the game are currently available on different websites and digital stores. Players have options to choose from – a standard and deluxe version.
The Deluxe Edition contains a Deluxe Pack which is made up of free in-game costumes, exclusive items, a digital soundtrack, a digital artbook, director’s commentary, and Deluxe Escalations.
Players who will pre-order the game on either version will also get a free Trinity Pack. The freebie contains nine in-game exclusive items including a briefcase, a suit, and a weapon.
