Rumor: Next Hitman Game A Reboot?

According to a blog on Gamereactor, the Danish Eurogamer site is supposed to have information on IO-Interactive’s (and Square Enix) Hitman franchise. The blogger also provides an image of what looks like a genuine poster of Agent 47.

Wow Square Enix (or IO Interactive), if this is true I have no idea how to react right now.

badz1495350d ago

as long as the reboot hitman doesn't end up looking like an emo kid or suddenly has hair, I think I'm fine with it.

emo kid hitman....eewww!

Derekvinyard135350d ago

if one thing on thsi list, EVEN if the artwork is real. i will not buy this game.

mikepmcc5350d ago

From the article:

Here you have a bad image of the artwork that my friend's colleagues take turns jacking off in Denmark: "

WTF???

gamesmaster5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

"David Bateson again the voice of 47"

im sorry but this ^^ is the only good news on this list, atleast we get to keep 47's cool calm vocals if true.

Dark General5350d ago

The cover system bit makes me weary. I want to be able to go stealth just like old times. Strangling people then taking their clothes and go about my business.

TronEOL5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

If you played the new Splinter Cell, you'd understand why a cover system would work much better for games like these. They should allow you to take out people from any which way in ALL stealth based games.

So the more ways to kill the merrier, or at least that's how I see it.

Although I do have to say if that's how he looks, I'll be upset. He looks like he's 19 years old, wearing dads suit and fake stubble.

@SpideyAI

granted that taking out enemies from cover is a nice way to kill in stealth games I(remembers the first time playing Tenchu).

But I always viewed 47 as a blending in then killing target over a take cover behind a wall and do a stealth kill.

Maybe it's just me not letting go of that style but hey that's the benefit of an opinion right.

All in all I just hope 47 is just as talkative as he is in the reboot as he is in all of his original games.

lh_swe5350d ago

It would no longer be Hitman if agent 47 isn't the same.

BornToKill5350d ago

let me guess he's gonna have hair.

dredgewalker5350d ago

Hitman with an afro would look groovy.

seann5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

a fat hitman would be awesome to.(just look at the ugly mess they made of max payne)

if this is related to the movie in anyway, then hitman is dead to me.

Lord_Doggington5350d ago

where's the "don't care"option on the rumor bar?

renegade5350d ago (Edited 5350d ago )

i want only to play as Agent 47 not a female assassin ... Based on hitman movie ohh noo.:{ Hope is not true. Beared 47 :D

IO Interactive Reveals Their IOI Showcase Lineup

IO Interactive is doing their own showcase this Friday and have revealed what is in store.

Obscure_Observer21d ago

Looking forward to 007 and Project Fantasy!

Garethvk21d ago

Hopefully it's good..I still miss E3.

repsahj21d ago

I'm also excited to see Project Fantasy.

Garethvk21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

It may be interesting.
I am curious about their decision to do their own show.

yeastori21d ago

we need a Hitman game that is like the old ones, not too interactive and network based. I want to be able to use every weapon and unlock them for every form of gameplay style. I hate that you get punished in these modern Hitman game for using a rifle rather than your silent pistol.

I sure hope so. It seemed like forever ago since its announcement.

KiRBY300023d ago

IO is also the publisher for MindsEye so it could be about that game.

i'd much prefer it to be about their Bond project though. love what they've done with hitman and im hyped to see what they can do with the Bond franchise.

Project 007 Is 'Young Bond for Gamers' & Hopefully the Start of New Trilogy, IOI Boss Says

IGN : In an interview with IGN, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said he hopes that Project 007 can be the start of a new trilogy while calling the Hitman dev's secretive project a "young Bond for gamers."

gleepot250d ago

will it be for modern audiences tho

ZycoFox250d ago

Well it's a UK property... So with that in mind politically correct bullshit will likely be a thing.

pwnmaster3000250d ago

I hope bond is a minority but of British background, just so I can see the melt down of those specific “gamers”.

Noskypeno250d ago

Can he be an Asian male at least, for some reason people think there's only 2 races in the universe. If the character used to be white, now he's black or vice versa. And somehow that's all the diversity they need, not people that are underrepresented. But yeah I like to think of Bond not as a person but as an identity or idea, like Joker where there might have been many others before.

FinalFantasyFanatic250d ago

@Noskypeno,
No, Asians are white adjacent, so that would never happen, apparently, look at AC Shadows, that explains a lot.

pwnmaster3000250d ago

light skin Asians like Japanese and Chinese don’t count apparently.
What about darker skin like Filipino or Cambodian or Indian.
That will do lol

CrimsonWing69250d ago

Young Bond? We talking James Bond Jr., here? Cuz that dude chases scum around the world, or so they say.

CrimsonWing69249d ago

Thank you! I was so hoping there was someone on this site that would pick up what I was laying down here. 🤣

dveio250d ago

IO Interactive are definitely one of my favourite developers out there.

I haven't researched any detailed numbers, but I really wish the HITMAN reboot has been a success so far for them. HITMAN 3 was just so good.

The James Bond game is definitely something I am looking forward to. Especially because I really find them to be little audiovisual wizards, as well.

I really am excited to see what they'll be able to pull off with current-gen, since I can imagine the James Bond game won't be releasing on PS4 and One anymore.

mastershredder250d ago

IO do some amazing things. This has potential to be amazing except for the "young bong gamers bit". Bond is an older dude, and was never meant for a young audience. I'm interested to see this young iteration and to see if they can make something that stays true to its roots without reinventing Bond and the IP. At least they did not pull a CDPR and baby up (both are literally on fire right now).

Strange99250d ago

Nope and nope. Connery was 32 when he started the bond films. Lazenby was 29 in his 1 film. If you mean the books, OK, but I’ve been a bond fan since I was 6 and most dudes I know have been too. The point is that he’s supposed to be experienced and knowledgeable. I don’t want to see bond trying to figure out his favorite drink and where the clit is.

isarai250d ago

Im eager to see what they do, i hope it's not just reskinned Hitman, but id imagine it'd be at least similar
