I'm interested in why this is an HN post. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be, but I'm curious what other people find interesting about it since I don't see anything here besides an ordinary update from a game studio about their product plans.

Rolling previous versions of a game into the latest, for free (for existing users) is pretty darned generous. The game itself is also highly likely to appeal the more established HN user: the assassination stuff is nothing more than a veneer over a space+time puzzle.

If you think you know permutations and combinations. Then try out the best way to buy Hitman 1,2,3 with all the access pass and levels when there is a sale because it's a nightmare. I love Hitman to death but how eidos has (purposefully?) made the pricing so damn confusing is a damn shame to me.

Yeah after reading the whole thing I came here to answer that question myself. It felt like a bit of a nothing.

You buy Hitman 3 + Hitman 1/2 legacy pass DLC for it. If you already have any version of Hitman 1 or 2 purchased, you don't need to buy the legacy pass DLC for that specific entry. The official website has info on how to let the system know you already own the game (which differs based on the platform), so that you can use that content from within Hitman 3.

tl;dr: there is no reason to ever purchase Hitman 1/2 at this point. You just buy Hitman 3 + legacy pack DLC to get the content of H1/H2 in H3. And if you already own H1 or H2, you get all that content in H3 without needing to pay for DLC.
