details on content and importing
The full list of content packs from the first two games is this:
If you are on console, you must install Hitman 1 and redeem the "Legacy Pack" through the game's menu, which is the DLC that will let you play the levels inside Hitman 2. You will likely have to do the same to Hitman 2 as well when Hitman 3 is released.
If you are on PC, you do not need to do anything other than own the games. If you're going from Steam to Epic for Hitman 3, you need to connect your Steam and Epic accounts on IO's website but there's no need to ever install Hitman 1.

- Hitman GOTY content
- Hitman 2
- Hitman 2 Expansion 1

Correct. When Hitman 2 was released, players could import all the levels of 1 into it, meaning that they could be played as Hitman 2 levels, complete with integrated progression between the two sets of levels (meaning that you could use the equipment from the Hitman 1 levels in the Hitman 2 levels). Moreover, the upgraded H1 levels were actually redone in some ways, such as more objects to make the levels feel more full and alive.
Ah, they've made it confusing again I see.
These games are good. You can pick up a shoe and throw it at someone's head as a valid strategy, perhaps THE valid strategy.
And we all know that people don't kill people, guns don't kill people, but throwing your gun at people kills people

Does this include whatever constitutes the "campaign"? Like cutscenes and the like? Or are they just sandboxes for replayability? Basically, can I delete and forget I own Hitman 1 and 2 after importing? Assuming it works to same as it did from 1 -> 2.

Campaigns, cutscenes, everything. You are essentially playing the previous games inside the upgraded engine of the latest game. So after importing, yes, you can delete the previous games from your drive.
I just purchased Hitman 2 and it looks fantastic on Series X. Miami level is tougher than the first mission. Any tips or videos I should watch to get better?
These games will likely have mods that deshackle them from their installer clients by that point anyway, so it probably won't matter which launcher you buy it from.
So if I buy the two complete versions I'll be able to play them with the hitman 3 engine?
A bit confused there.

The only tip that comes to mind right now would be to follow the opportunities (or "stories" I think they are now called). They will lead you around to various ways to kill your targets.
So wait, if I buy Hitman 1 GOTY and Hitman 2 Gold on PS4, I'll get those locations in Hitman 3 on PS5? I mean I guess so, since Hitman 1 and 2 are not on PS5, right?
This is a good thread, which I fully endorse, because regardless of your platform:
a. These are great fucking games in their own right
b. Importing into Hitman 3 is gonna be so great
Your drive will probably cry a bit though, but it's okay.

It's on sale on CDKeys. I added it to the OP.
Yes, as it comes with the two DLC levels.
Correct. You will also be able to use the equipment that you unlock in one game in the other games. :)
Your progress carries over into Hitman 3, yes.

Yes they do. :)
Awesome! I didn't want to go through the trouble of unlocking the Katana again.
Yeah, I think a year later and I was able to get HM2 Gold for half the price of the original at launch.
Sadly (or not), I just replayed 1 and 2 over Christmas so am pretty hyped, gonna take some willpower to wait that long this time!
It sucks that the Gold Edition discount is no longer avaliable on Xbox. On the previous sale it was avaliable at a discount while the regular version was at full price. Now the regular version is with a discount while the gold version is at full price
I've clearly been converted since not really liking how Absolution played.
I finished up the last few missions of 2 in anticipation for 3 over my (just ended) holiday break. I'm planning to replay a bunch of them when 3 arrives to try out some of the alternate paths/stories but to be honest, I haven't been closely following the overarching story.

Quick question - I have Hitman 2 on Steam, but not the DLC. Do I need all of the content to be able to import to 3, or can I just import the base content?
Apparently I own:
HITMAN
HITMAN - Episode 3: Marrakesh
HITMAN - Episode 4: Bangkok
HITMAN - Episode 5: Colorado
HITMAN - Episode 6: Hokkaido
HITMAN - Summer Bonus Episode
HITMAN Paris
HITMAN Sapienza
I assume I just "need" the GOTY Upgrade, if i wanted to "complete" it?

I'm gonna get the 2016 GOTY edition, I finished HITMAN 2 recently and still wanna do other challenges and mess around the maps but maybe I should save them for 3.
Why not just release DLCs for 3 that unlocks the levels from 1 and 2, whyyy this way of buying the GOTY versions of previous versions and stuff when people aren't gonna play them?
???
What difference are you thinking there's supposed to be between this and DLCs?
There will be I'm sure
it was called the legacy pack first time round.
But ultimately does it make any difference if the outcome is the same?
Yeah that would get you the Patient Zero campaign and some other bits and pieces
Buy buy buy. These are two of the best games in decades, probably about to be three of the best.
Every time I think about trying these games, the convoluted way they released these games just irks me. Last I checked I *think* I somehow have all of the Hitman 1 levels imported into a trial version of Hitman 2 containing one stage (a demo/trial version?).
I think buying the GotY version of 1 and gold version of 2 is likely the best way to go at this point, but I just may wait for what I presume will be an inevitable bundle of all three games after Hitman 3 releases.

I bought the gold edition when it was on sale for $15 on Xbox. Still unsure if that was a mistake or not, but I'm excited to play more as I had a lot of fun with the 1st game.
I had a hard time grasping and/or accepting that I could/should replay the tutorial yacht mission over and over in Hitman 1, did I misunderstand the game or something? I want to want to play them so to speak, but this feels like a major roadbump for me for some reason. I liked the original Hitman 2 back in the day and some of the sequels but could never get into this new series.
Please eli5 how and why to play these games :/ (I love stealth games and am working on one so it really should be a no-brainer, and yet...)
