This is officially a petition to IOI to reopen contracts mode.

It's a PS3 game and you're 2 weeks away from 2022. Move onto the superior PS4 version, at least there's that option now and that superior version doesn't have any online. They can never "open something just for a short time" when the entire server that was running it is down. Also even if they wanted to bring it back the game would probably need a patch and Sony likely doesn't allow those on PS3 anymore.

In any case, the request should be directed to Square Enix, since they are the owners of the servers.

 

IO Interactive wanted to reopen the servers of their game since they had to be closed due to the new general data protection regulation (GDPR). But that was a direct responsibility of Square Enix.

 

The solution was as "simple" as transferring ownership of the servers from the publisher (Square Enix) to the developer (IO Interactive), but Square apparently refused.

 

 

Edit: Look at this, as one of the examples we have on this specific case @brodey4455.

IOI posted few times on their forums: they have no means to restore servers because Absolution is on Square Enix "authority". Your best bet is just to move on, because they won't do thing. Plus, there are contracts mode on new hitman games if you intrested.

Your best bet is to see if anyone somehow managed to sniff the network traffic/collect packet data while the servers were still up and would be willing to host a fan-made server after re-reouting the DNS traffic (open source code in order for it to have this site's blessing). It's a long shot and there's probably not that much interest in this game specifically, but that's the only way I see it happening unfortunately.
