Summary
- HITMAN Classic Trilogy Remastered compiles and refreshes the original 3 Hitman games (Code Name 47, Silent Assassin, and Contracts), coming to XBOX Series X|S in 2027 from Saber Interactive in partnership with IOI.
- Players will be able to switch at any time between updated high-res graphics and the original presentation, preserved and optimized to run smoothly on new platforms.
- There will be a new Photo Mode, like with Saber’s Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver remasters.
In 2000, the first-ever Hitman game officially launched and introduced players to a different kind of stealth experience. Hitman: Codename 47 challenged players to use disguises, environments, and careful planning to complete their objectives, laying the foundation for a new kind of sandbox gameplay.
That foundation was expanded upon in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, refining the original game’s stealth systems and giving players more control over how they approached each mission. The rating system was highly touted by players, because the more professionally a player completed a mission, without making any noise, and without unnecessary bloodshed, the higher the rating was. The highest rating was named “Silent Assassin.” Hitman: Contracts brought a darker tone to the series, exploring the psychological weight behind Agent 47’s work while delivering some of the most atmospheric missions in the trilogy.
Together, these three landmark titles defined what Hitman would become.
Now it’s time to revisit those original contracts… We hope you’re ready.
Today, Saber Interactive is happy to announce our partnership with IO Interactive to bring HITMAN Classic Trilogy Remastered to modern platforms, boasting enhanced visuals, improved performance, and new features, all while preserving the systems, tone, and freedom that made the original trilogy so iconic.
For the first time, players will be able to experience all three original titles together in one definitive collection.
Included Game Titles
HITMAN: Codename 47

A mysterious man awakens with no past, no identity, and a single purpose: to kill. As Agent 47 takes on contracts around the world, he begins uncovering the truth behind his creation and the forces that shaped him into the world’s deadliest assassin.
HITMAN 2: Silent Assassin

Seeking redemption after leaving his life as a contract killer behind, Agent 47 is forced back into the shadows when a dangerous conspiracy threatens the only peaceful life he has ever known. What begins as a rescue mission quickly spirals into a deadly web of betrayal and manipulation.
HITMAN: Contracts

Trapped in a Paris hotel room and drifting in and out of consciousness, Agent 47 re-lives some of the most dangerous contracts of his career. Through fragmented memories and brutal assignments, Contracts explores the darker psychology behind the assassin known only as 47.
Across these three games, players will travel the world, from high-security compounds to remote monasteries and the shadowy corners of global crime networks, taking on contracts that demand patience, precision, and creativity.
Every mission is a puzzle.
Every environment is an opportunity.
And every decision carries consequences.
No two kills are the same.
Remastered for Modern Platforms
The original trilogy has been enhanced with upgraded character models, environments, and high-resolution textures, alongside improved lighting and performance.
Players will also be able to instantly switch between the original presentation and the enhanced visuals at any time, allowing them to experience the game exactly as they remember it, or with a modernized look.
Play Your Way
Hitman has always been about choice, the original “Play your way”.
Disguise yourself to blend in, study your targets, and plan the perfect execution… or adapt when things don’t go according to plan. Whether you prefer a clean, silent approach or something more unpredictable, no two missions play out the same way.
New Ways to Capture the Perfect Hit
Like our Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver Remasters, we’ve added a fan-favorite feature, Photo Mode! Players will be able to capture and share their favorite moments, whether it’s a perfectly executed plan or an unexpected outcome. We’ll have more details to share about this feature at a later date.
Coming 2027
From the earliest experiments in open-ended stealth to the refined systems and darker tone that followed, this collection offers a complete look at the evolution of Agent 47.

With HITMAN Classic Trilogy Remastered, we set out to preserve what made these games unforgettable while enhancing them for a new generation to play. Whether you’re returning to these contracts or stepping into them for the first time, this is the definitive way to experience the origins of the original assassin…
