IO Interactive has slowly but surely been transforming HITMAN: World of Assassination into the perfect stealth-assassination series, collating the recent trilogy into one neat package while adding new content; modes; features and more. 5 years on from the original launch of HITMAN 3, IOI have announced a highly-welcome update – with full cross-progression set to be added early next month.
Making the official announcement on their blog, the team at IO Interactive unveiled the next update coming to HITMAN: World of Assassination, writing: “On this day, exactly 5 years ago, HITMAN 3 launched worldwide for our players to experience, as the final chapter of the World of Assassination trilogy. As part of that special milestone, it was also important for HITMAN to equip its players with a sense of continuity by allowing everyone to bring forward their established progression from previous parts.”
In furthering these efforts, IOI have now confirmed that “Cross-Progression is coming to HITMAN World of Assassination” with the update set to go live on the 3rd of February. Unlike some games which use cross-progression, HITMAN: WOA will allow you to carry your progress over to all platforms which the game is available on – mobile and VR included.
Being tied to your IOI account, the following will be tracked and synced across devices:
- Experience
- Player Level
- Challenges
- Location Mastery
- Unlocks and Inventory
- Achievements / Trophies
- Freelancer Mode Progression
- Campaign Story Progress
Despite starting its life as a separate trilogy, IOI have successfully turned HITMAN into a highly-popular live-service adjacent experience; minus many of the downsides which such titles typically experience.
Considering the fact that the team are hard at work on the upcoming 007: First Light, it is encouraging to see them continue to support HITMAN: WOA in a bunch of consumer-friendly ways.
