Hitman 3: Developers promise solution to Hitman 2 problem on PC (update)
Update from 3:05 p.m.: In the meantime, the development studio IO Interactive has also spoken out via Twitter to take a stand. The tweet said that the owners of the PC version of Hitman 3 will definitely be able to import locations from the two previous games for free. There will be no compulsion to buy the respective games again. The team is working together with its partners on an appropriate solution. As a first step, IO Interactive is offering all pre-orderers of Hitman 3 on the PC a free "Access Pass" for the "Game of the Year Edition" of Hitman 1. This also applies to all those who get Hitman 3 up to ten days after the launch.
