Ou interesting. I really dislike IOI deceptive anti consumer practices and how they've handled DLCs (the infamouse need for buying guides on reddit) but free is free. Added to account. Thank you for sharing it.
EDIT: Oh those dicks. I thought this was the whole game but this is just the glorified demo. Normally they have a "starter" version, but now they graciously added Sapienza mission on top. One mission. Glad that I needed to spend 10 minutes researching to figure out how version differ from each other.

Well adding the edition what we get with this in pic.

If I remember correctly H1 and H2 both had a free version (demo) which came with one mission. But H3 comes with the training mode only, not even a free mission. And now you can get one mission for free... from Hitman 1, lol. Although, it's the best map from H1 and H2 but still.

The Steam page is confusing me. I have the original Hitman 2 on Steam and Hitman 3 on Epic, but World of Assassination Deluxe says it includes additional levels not part of this free base game. Do the original releases of 2 and 3 include these levels?

Haha thats what I was talking about. They need to fire whoever handles marketing there.
Here is a guide that might clarify things a little:

Thanks for the link. OK, so I don't think I own "Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 Expansion" so I wouldn't be losing content by just moving everything over to WoA. WTF, why is this so confusing? I'm gonna have to install the games when I get home and compare what content I have access to with the content this free game provides and look for discrepancies :/

To be honest I gave up after seeing so many editions, not really sure what is what anymore.

Megumin San like you wrote only the prologue and one map from Hitman 2016, so you need to buy the deluxe edition, so you guys will play the trilogy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same. It's a love/hate situation for me.
At the time back in the day, I had each game I had staggered in at least 1 different platform, and this late in the stage before WoA became a thing, the data transfer cross-save system is a mess (My entire limited collection consists of just Absolution and 1 to 3, with Absolution and Hitman 1 being the most complete, DLC-less games I can play). Compounding that is that basically since I got each game for free, I don't have all the DLCs for 2 and 3. The most case, I am disappointingly looking at 2 empty games, depending on the platform.
I'm currently playing the most complete Hitman 3 I have as my main. But if it's any other game elsewhere, I am doing a do-over each time with even less content, so I myself wouldn't bother with it just yet. I was upset then when I found out the hard way in the case of Hitman 2 that it was essentially nothing, and the entire time before that I had held off playing it for a long time since I got it. I'm not gonna put myself through that emotional rollercoaster again.

Hello Mr. GCTuba let me explain to you since Hitman is my favorite game and the best stealth franchise.
I've all of them, but let's talk about it, you have the Hitman 2 on steam what about Hitman 2016, it's a trilogy.
This version is the basic which means you'll play the prologue, you need to buy deluxe edition.
IO Interactive put the trilogy on Hitman World of Assassination, you do have the hitman 2 as well but you don't have hitman 2016.
Just buy the deluxe edition and you'll play all of them.
Do the original releases of 2 and 3 include these levels? Nope, you need to buy the the deluxe edition so you'll play hitman 2016, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 which now is Hitman world of assassination.
Have a great day.

Hi, so do I understand right that owning prior Hitman games on Steam will not grant me access to those levels within WOA?
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly, don't buy the HITMAN 3 - Deluxe Pack or HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Expansion.
You need to buy the Deluxe Edition so you'll have everything.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was possible before to give yourself access to Hitman 1 and 2 (and Hitman 2 Deluxe) through a transfer process years ago, but they stopped allowing it after. I actually did this transfer at the time, but you don't really get any discounts for having the DLCs so it's not really useful from what I can tell. Maybe I'll have access to all Hitman 1 and 2 levels from this free package though, i'll have to check.
Nowadays you can only transfer your progress and unlocks from Hitman 2 to Hitman 3.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, this free version should give you access to the Hitman 1+2 stuff you got in transfer. It's giving you the full license to the Hitman 3 engine so you can play those normally.
Edit: No wait this guy on the forums said it removed them wtf! https://steamcommunity.com/app/1659040/discussions/0/598528021200164319/

I played Hitman 2016 on Xbox already so I didn't include it in this discussion. I remember liking it enough to buy HItman 2 and 3 later but now that they're removed from storefronts, I don't know which versions I have. I'll have to check everything when I get home to see. What a mess.

You need to buy the deluxe edition. this free is only the prologue when Agent 47 -640509040147 is talking to Diana and then the prologue and the map Sapienza.
upgrading it you'll have all the 3 games plus elusive targets, etc.

Hitman's franchise is an amazing, if you love stealth altho sometimes you make mistakes.
But you guys that are new on Hitman remember to complete the maps and make the mission on SA/SO =) SA= Silent assassin SO = Suit Only
It takes time but this is the best way.

So, what happens now? You go back into the world disappear, stay on your own and on the move.
So when we need you, we'll contact you.
Still, I can't believe we beat him at his own game... well Ms. Burnwood if you know your enemy.
Quite right, I should tell you, the trail went dead after Romania our team found no records of any kind, no name nothing at all. Of course they didn't Ms. Burnwood.
What the f£ck they call you? Names are for friends so I don't need one but I think they called me 47.
That'a not a name.
So make it one Diana <3
Alright, Agent 47.
You were always the best nobody ever came close, you defined the art and it defines you.
Your actions have changed the world, powerful men have fallen by your hand but by the same token others have risen, do you realise what kind of world you've been shaping? does the ICA?
Does your handler?
I live in that world, I've seen the consequences.. I have felt the cost.
Subject 6 aka Lucas Grey.
I'm aware Lucas don't worry after I didn't kill you and we're the same.
Agent 47 - 640509040147
We live in a world of assassins and the best of them all is Agent 47.
Hitman 2 47/10 :)
Let me ask you something guys do you prefer corporate or government jobs? there's usually a complete dossier they allow time for planning.
Planning because typically they prefer low profile because low profile is safer, low profile makes almost no ripple.
Low profile is unspectacular altho time can become an issue, you may have to hasten things along but well your training let's your slow your breathing bpm let's you calm your heart 1kg of pressure & Done.
Organized crime likes a visible statement sometimes they like to know, let them know you were there.. send a message written in blood.
With this employer, you rarely get some than a name and sometimes not even that altho is enough.
It adds to the risk and it adds to the fee but you know there's a risk in that too.
The other risk with organized crime. It creates a bunch of enemies but experience has taught you know what you're doing because you trust your planning & your accuracy.
You're a professional an expert devoted to timing & precision.
You keep your tools in pristine condition after all perfection demands precision & precision demands perseverance.
You live off the grid as much as possible so you leave no trace of your real self because no one can realise or know who you really are.
You always keep your true identity protected. No names, no trail.
You're a shadow.

This might be useful for me since I did the transfer progress back in thee day, so I've had the DLCs that give you access to Hitman 1, 2 and 2 Expansion in Hitman 3 without having Hitman 3 base app. They said they would make things less complicated when they did this, but slowly have made it even more complicated than it used to be, but now we don't even have the transfer feature anymore.
But essentially it's a demo (although activates the base Hitman 3 app on you account), since you only get the tutorial and one single level from the first game.
They also don't do bundle discounts so owning this level or in my case all of Hitman 1 and 2, doesn't make an upgrade to having access to Hitman 3, VR and Freelancer mode any cheaper.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, IO Interactive made things more complicated for new players.
but It's quite simple if you are new and never played it b4, you need to buy the deluxe edition.
which are the 3 games together buddy.
Comment has been collapsed.
@gtguy01 The trilogy are 3 games, Hitman 2016 (2018) and Hitman 3 2021.
They removed from store Hitman and Hitman 2, they put it all together with Hitman WoA deluxe edition.
Comment has been collapsed.
@Fluffster So do I, you're paying $99.99 for the trilogy including Hitman 3, 53 missions + elusive targets and the deadly sins.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's been on sale for about 21 bucks before (might have been at Epic) but honestly even that isn't worth it because you have to install the entire 80GB worth of everything just to play one game and again, that rewards them for shitty scams.
Comment has been collapsed.
That'll be a no from me with a recommendation for everyone else to also say no.
I've got every single Hitman game from the beginning up until Hitman 3 (All DLCs) on Steam.
Hitman 3 wanted me to buy access to my DLC while upgrading to it.
Hitman 3 made understanding this as difficult as possible to understand, released a year late on Steam after having given it away for free on Epic and still tries to make purchasing the game as troublesome as possible.
IOI are out in my book, and always will be.
The ability to consensually purchase HITMAN, a work of fiction designed, developed and published by a multicultural team from a wide range of ethnic, philosophical and religious backgrounds, requires you to swap morals for values, understand that the only value worth anything is what you earn from working, and to not ask questions.
My favourite part was when they dropped Connor McGregor as a character in their game. They must hate gingers or something in their diverse team.

An active legal case of that nature is a good public relations reason to drop someone from paid-for content associated with a brand.
Regardless of the outcome of that matter, IOI could have spent their money better on making a game which hasn't ruined their reputation forever with its dodgy, and possibly illegal, advertising and access for consumers.
Something this recent 'free' demo doesn't seem to make any more clear for any potential customers.

Apparently you can lose stuff you do have on your Steam account.
Someone's lost their Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 (The originators of WoA) by adding this 'demo' to their account.

Thanks. It should say you still have it here (Mine does) but I've not installed this 'demo' and so I've no idea if that alters anything to do with paid for already content.

I still have:

1829590 HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Expansion
1829592 HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Standard

so it is nothing, right? If I already have Hitman 1 and Hitman 2.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you have Hitman 1 gold edition, hitman 2 gold edition, you played 2 games, the 3rd is now called Hitman WoA deluexe edition which is all of them together.
Hitman WoA deluxe edition = you'll have access to the trilogy, deadly sins, new elusive targets, and the 53 missions.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sapienza is the 2nd mission for Hitman 1. But they brought all three games together under World of Assassins. So this will only add the 2nd mission Sapienza to the WoA version, you can not add Hitman 1 or 2 to the WoA version (anymore). Any of the DLC you can buy for WoA already has the Sapienza mission included. Therefor adding the "free" DLC will add obsoletely nothing, unless you're looking to play this single Sapienza mission (which you already did if you played Hitman 1)
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, and screw IOI. Full game dirt cheap or nothing they are greedy liars.
