The first concept from IOI

The first concept from IOI?s next Hitman game

 

Since we posted our open letter back in January, we?ve had our heads down working on our next Hitman game. So you?ll have noticed that we have been pretty quiet, but we wanted to give you a short update about a few things.

 

First up, we?ve seen a lot of people talking about what we might be bringing to E3 this year. We know the worst thing is to hope for something that doesn?t turn up; so we wanted to let you know that our next Hitman is going to be under wraps for a bit longer. We?re focusing all of our time and efforts into creating the best possible Hitman game. That?s our number one priority and we don?t want to divert valuable resources to show something before it?s ready.

 

The good news is we?re making great progress with building exotic and expansive locations for the new game. To give you an idea of what we?re aiming for, here?s the first piece of concept art from the game. This location is set in Central Europe and you?ll be able to explore the entire building you see in the image, inside and out. For a sense of scale, the building on its own is larger than any location in Hitman Absolution.

 

 

As we move through the year, we?ll have some details to share with you and we?ll keep you posted right here on the blog. We will only lift the lid on the game once we feel we?re ready to. In the meantime, we?ll continue to answer as many of your questions as we can both in the forums and on Twitter.

 

On a separate note, we were happy to see so many of you enjoying Hitman GO from our friends at Square Enix Montr?al. They?re pretty close to announcing new details about upcoming updates for GO as well as the first details about their second Hitman game for smartphones and tablets, we?ve been playing it here at the studio and it?s a lot of fun. Anyway, we?ll let them be the ones to tell you about it, so stay tuned for a blog post from them soon.

 

Thanks for your dedication, let?s stay in touch.

More Hitman is always welcome. But let me guess...2016!

 

I also want IO to work on a new Kane and Lynch game. I hear the movie is still alive amazingly...with Brian Bloom playing Kane, i.e. playing himself! Now that i can get behind.
