IO Interactive is participating in the current Steam Winter Sale, so players can get several Hitman titles for under $5. This sounds like a bargain, but there is one that will have players raising an eyebrow: Hitman World of Assassination Part One.
Every Hitman Game, Ranked
With multiple games in the franchise, the Hitman games cover a spectrum of greatness.
Players who have Hitman World of Assassination on their wishlist may notice the $2.99 price tag next to its name, but if they open its Store Page and have a closer look, they will see that this price refers to "Part One" only. This article explains what Hitman World of Assassination Part One is, so they can understand how much of the game they'll gain access to, helping them decide if it's worth buying.
What Is Hitman World of Assassination Part One?
Everything Included in Hitman WoA Part One
Whenever there is a Hitman World of Assassination sale, players should analyze all of the different editions and options before deciding which one they would like to buy. It is not uncommon for Hitman World of Assassination Part One to be on sale at 90 percent off, making it a very tempting deal to players. With this discount, gamers can purchase it for only $2.99.
Hitman World of Assassination Part One is a portion of Hitman WoA. The base game, commonly known as Hitman World of Assassination, includes Hitman 1's Game of the Year edition content, Hitman 2, and Hitman 3. Part One, on the other hand, only gives players access to Hitman 1 GOTY edition, which includes the following locations and missions:
- ICA Facility (free starter pack)
- Paris
- Sapienza
- Marrakesh
- Bangkok
- Colorado
- Hokkaido
- Patient Zero campaign
- Deluxe Escalations
It doesn't include VR mode, the Freelancer game mode, and the locations and missions featured in the other games and DLC packs.
Should You Buy World of Assassination Part One and Upgrade or the Full Game?
Players will spend plenty of hours exploring the maps featured in Hitman 1 GOTY, so for $2.99, this isn't a bad deal at all - but players must be aware that they will not have access to Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 with this edition. If players haven't dipped their toes in the world of Hitman yet and want to give it a try without putting too much money on the line, this might be their best bet.
If they do enjoy the game, they can purchase the Upgrade Pack at a later date and unlock the rest of the content in the Hitman World of Assassination base game, meaning all locations in Hitman 2 and Hitman 3, VR mode, and Freelancer mode. To get access to the DLC content, they must purchase the World of Assassination Deluxe Pack on top of the Upgrade Pack.
To get the complete edition of Hitman World of Assassination, meaning the base game and DLCs, players can simply get Hitman World of Assassination Deluxe Edition.
