WorthPlaying writes, "At a Square Enix media event in San Francisco last month we had the opportunity to check out the new Hitman Intro Pack, but that wasn’t the only bit of Hitman news to drop.
When asked about backwards compatibility support for previous Hitman games, both Square Enix’s senior director of PR, Reilly Brennan, and Io-Interactive studio head, Hannes Seifert confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Hitman: Absolution is coming to Xbox One via the backwards compatibility feature."
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
Exellent news, wonderful resource. Well done MS.
Always good to know the library is growing.
Man, this year alone we already have Deus Ex, Witcher 2, and leaked RDR, L4D2, Alan Wake American Nightmare, Tekken Tag 2, and now another great X360 games will be coming to BC on XB1.
This is great news and BC is such a great feature to provide gamers with more games and ways to play and adding value to the GwG subscription service. Well done Phil and team.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Great news even though I already got this game on Steam Cloud.
