Cold, calm and calculated, the incoming CEO of Ether Biotech Corporation will go head-to-head with 47 - and pose not only potentially the biggest threat yet to our master of assassination, but also to mankind itself!

Greetings Agents, Today we've launched Cross-Progression support for HITMAN World of Assassination, which enables you to progress and master 47's craft - no matter the platform. A detailed overview of everything you need to know about Cross-Progression can be found in our handy Cross-Progression Guide and FAQ.
NOTE: Due to some last minute issues tied to Achievements we had to temporarily disable Cross-Progression support for Nintendo and aim to enable it as soon as possible. Sorry for that folks! ːsteamsadː
If you encounter more bugs tied to Cross-Progression please check the guide first and then feel free to reach out to us and let us know via our PLAYER SUPPORT system.
Since every good agent needs a proper briefing before heading into the operation here is yours on how to enable Cross-Progression. The only requirement is, that you have at least TWO platforms you want to connect and your very own IOI Account.
Head over to your IOI Account dashboard and select Cross-Progression on the left and click on GET STARTED to...get started.
Select your Active Account. This is your main account with all your progress, achievements, mastery and more. Choose one and Continue.
After deciding upon an Active Account you will have to connect your alternative platforms or as we call them the other accounts. Simply select the platforms you want to connect and go through the individual sign-in processes and confirm.
May luck be in your favor, Arti
