"Self-publishing Hitman 3 is a big step for IO Interactive in achieving our highly ambitious goals as an independent studio," explained IO boss Hakan Abrak.

"Furthermore, this partnership with Epic has given us the freedom to create the game exactly as we imagined, for our fans and for our community uncompromised.

"For our long-term fans that have supported us on the World of Assassination journey, we're happy to have mastery and location carryover from their existing progress into Hitman 3 on Epic Games Store."

The modern Shadowrun games are really good. Definitely get on that if you don't already own them.

I don't play on PC but I'm pretty sure that Epic exclusivity is gonna piss off a lot of that fanbase lol, how will they transfer game progress and level ownership from the first two games? They say they're doing it but hopefully it's painless...

Just the first. So if you claim this one presumably you'll still need to buy Hitman 2 to get all that content in Hitman 3.

Oh geez, hitman 3 as an Epic exclusive is gonna.....be a stickler for some folks, even more than Borderlands 3.....But the 'attention' Epic wants seems to be somewhat dissipating, so even if I'm not gonna pick it up, so be it at this point.

Plus, if IO is independent and looking to pay bills, the deal makes sense....the Eurogamer article doesn't specifically say, but I imagine this is another year-long exclusive?

In any event, 2 Kinda turned me off with the idea of having to re-play old levels to re-unlock things, but I'm happy more people get to play the first.

The Hitman 3 Epic exclusivity sucks, but the fact progress from the previous games will carry over blunts some of my disappointment, assuming I'm parsing that last sentence correctly.

Shadowrun Collection? Nice! Those are some of the very best games to come out of the Kickstarter bubble before it burst, and maybe this means HBS will revisit the franchise and put it on other systems, too.

Hitman 3 is timed or full exclusive? Just checked the article, and it doesn't say either way.

I hope they're going to sell Hitman 2 as well, it layers on a few nice updates to the original maps.

Shadowrun Dragonfall is a fantastic game.
Still haven't played the other 2. Is Returns worth playing or should I just play Hong Kong?

I still liked it, but Hong Kong is much closer to Dragonfall in style and quality. Returns is mostly just combat, there isn't the same breadth of roleplaying options and the story isn't as good either.

Everyone needs to try Hitman, EGS exclusivity for 3 sucks but it's still an amazing game

Everybody told me to skip Returns as it's substantially a lesser game than its expansions.
Go for HK. Then, if you want more Shadowrun you'll have some desert.

Thanks guys.
