Hitman Series to Continue, IO Interactive Confirms
IO โฃInteractive has confirmed a new โฃ Hitman game is in progress, following the success of Hitman 3, now known as Worldโค of Assassination. The announcement came from โคIO Interactive CEO Abrak, signaling the continuation of theโค acclaimed stealth-action franchise.
While details regarding the next installment remain scarce, Abrak stated, “IO will be talking about the next hitman-as, of course, โขthere’s going to be a next Hitman.” the form this future game will take-whether a โnew campaign added to โคthe existing World of assassination or a fresh start for the series-is currently unknown.
World of Assassination has become a benchmarkโ for content-rich gaming experiences, incorporating campaigns from Hitman 1 and Hitman 2, alongside numerous additional modes, Elusive Target missions, and special events. โIO Interactive’s commitment to post-launch support continues,โ most recently with a unique Elusive Target featuring Eminem hiring Agent 47 to eliminate โhis alter ego, Slim Shady.
Development on a โคnew Hitman title is expected to take time, given IO Interactive’s ongoing projects.โ The studio’s confirmation, though, has generated excitement among fans eager for more adventures with Agent 47.
