I don't think that the entire reboot trilogy will ever come to GOG as its online only. I know they released Hitman: The Complete First Season on GOG before, but it had online drm.

Will they re-release it without drm at some point? That game's engine is older, it's only 1/3 of the latest game (all 3 seasons are now bundled together), and ppl have modded the 2016 season already. Seeing cut content in the game files. Plus it could be here for preservation sake. When CD Projekt Red removed it, did they state that it will never come back??
I already got the entire reboot trilogy on xbox series, but having at least the 1st season drm-free would be a godsend. Servers don't last forever.

"Servers don't last forever", that's just it. But yet still io interactive from day one do l never cared. This subject has been beaten to death and they stick by their guns of having this series online with ZERO benefits. It's as if their entire company is ran by AI. That's why I'm not sad to see people lose their jobs to AI because they act like robots. Hitman absolution contracts are lost forever because they shut those servers down very quickly. This ain't a gog problem, io interactive finally proves that the publishers aren't the only villains in gaming. As soon as they get their freedom and went independent they did worse than their masters ever did. So don't bank on this game coming here.

I'm glad the community put it's foot down and got rid of this filth off of this platform. They tried to pull a fast one and it backfired. They want your money but don't want you to own a damn thing. They are so stubborn, I hope they go bankrupt soon. If they do, I will be out there protesting so the don't get funding of any sorts. If a company deserves to die it would be io interactive. From day one they know people hates this always online rubbish, but they just don't give a damn.

Back when the game was released, I did the math. 33% of the game is available to you the buyer. The rest is locked away online. Who would anyone part-take in this foolishness. 66% of the game is not yours unless you are online, ALL THE TIME!

I'd guess if Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy comes to GOG at some point in time...
1. It'll be way down line coming to GOG.
2. It'll be the whole thing (Hitman: WoA Trilogy with all the content)
3. The game's no longer super-active & most have it on others DRM-laced stores so that there's no real need anymore for always-online protection and unlocks tied to their servers.
4. And they just go lazy-mode to unlock the game's content in full so players don't gotta unlock everything (all of the extra disguises, weapons, exits, etc) & can play offline no problem (kind of like Hitman: Absolution) for the GOG-Only Crowd that loves DRM-FREE so that they only buy here and the likely double-dippers (that bought the game either on Steam or Epic...and then got to get it DRM-FREE on GOG).

Whether it'll have GOG Galaxy support for GOG's Cloud Saves, Galaxy Multiplayer/Online stuff, GOG Achievements and/or anything else related to Galaxy - who knows. [shrug]

And honestly, Achievements should be built into the game itself for offline mode and offline profiles at all times IMHO anyways. Those deserve preservation too, IMHO.

...too bad you are missing a point here. Absolution does not play without problem as it is missing entire Contracts mode. So it is a problem as it is NOT a complete experience.
Those community contracts were tons of fun.
