No more new Hitman games while IO Interactive works on James Bond

Despite Hitman 3’s popularity, IO Interactive won’t be making a new Hitman game anytime soon thanks to another secret agent. The news comes from a recent Eurogamer interview with IO Interactive, and while IO Interactive co-founder Christian Elverdam doesn’t mention James Bond by name, there’s only one other “fantasy agent” stealth game star the team is working with at present.

“Right now a major, major new Hitman game: that’s a little bit on hiatus, as we’re building another agent fantasy that’s also taking up a lot of our time,” Elverdam told Eurogamer. “But obviously we’ll come back to beloved Agent 47. He’s still very much in the heart of this company.”

While that makes it seem like Hitman 3’s Freelancer mode is the end of Agent 47’s adventures for the time being, the team still plans on expanding the recently consolidated World of Assassination.

“I hope we can have our cake and eat it too, in the sense that we have such a wonderful platform where we can keep experimenting with what the formula can do and what people expect of it,” Elverdam said.

The studio certainly has its hands full elsewhere. IOI announced a new studio in Istanbul, and the team is starting production on a fantasy RPG as well.
