IO Interactive to Remaster Original Hitman Trilogy in 2027

IO Interactive announced it will remaster the original Hitman trilogy — Hitman: Codename 47, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and Hitman: Contracts — and release the remastered collection in 2027.

The Copenhagen-based studio said the project will collect the early entries that introduced Agent 47 and the series’ stealth assassination gameplay into a single collection for modern platforms.

IO Interactive has not published a technical brief or a detailed timeline beyond the 2027 release year. The announcement did not specify an exact release date, supported platforms, price, or whether the remaster will include bundled DLC, legacy maps or quality-of-life features from later titles. The studio did not disclose whether it will use a new engine or update visual assets such as textures, lighting and character models.

The original trilogy launched on older PC and console hardware: Codename 47 in 2000, Silent Assassin in 2002 and Contracts in 2004. Those games established the franchise’s open-level design, stealth mechanics and the barcode-tattooed assassin known as Agent 47.

The announcement follows IO Interactive’s 2016 Hitman reboot and subsequent modern releases. The 2027 collection will be the studio’s first comprehensive re-release of its earliest Hitman games.

The studio added it will share more details about platforms, preorder options and the scope of updates in the months ahead. IO Interactive did not indicate whether standalone versions of any single title will remain available once the collection ships.

Hitman began in 2000 and has remained a recurring franchise in stealth gaming. IO Interactive developed the early titles and retained creative control of the series through multiple ownership changes; the remaster is part of the studio’s ongoing management of the franchise and its back catalog.
