Danish developer IO Interactive has established itself as the lead developer of the Hitman series ever since the first game debuted way back in 2000. They also worked on other projects such as Freedom Fighters, Kane and Lynch and Mini Ninjas, but making Hitman has always been what they were known for and they?re really good at it. Now though it seems that the franchise?s next installment might be in the hands of another studio, at least according to Karsten Lund, a longtime IO employee who is currently working at Square Enix Montreal.
In the middle of a Gamasutra piece written by him you find this:
?IO Interactive have been doing a very good job of putting the player front and center and have given us some of the most memorable moments in gaming; emergent stories of how players completed missions shared at the water cooler, this to me is the core DNA of a Hitman game. I know how hard that is to create; I was at Io for the last 11 years. Our challenge is obviously to retain that DNA, while establishing ownership in our team and of our game.?
He justifies this unexpected change with the fact that ?working with a completely new team around an established IP really gives us a unique perspective on what a Hitman game can be. We can revisit some of the ?holy cows? from other Hitman games, and ask ourselves why and what in a new way, while creating a new and unique Hitman experience.?
Which studio will be taking on the role of Hitman developer is unknown at this point. Personally I hope it?s Eidos Montreal.
