Following a recent spate of rumours concerning the highly-anticipated fifth instalment in the Hitman franchise, series developers iO Interactive have today denied that there is any truth to the gossip. Directly in the firing-line is some recent artwork, which had surfaced last week and taken as genuine confirmation that a fifth Hitman game is in the works. Not so, according to iO Interactive.
IO Interactive is doing their own showcase this Friday and have revealed what is in store.
It may be interesting.
I am curious about their decision to do their own show.
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.
Geoff Keighley confirms that new James Bond dev IO Interactive is appearing at Summer Game Fest, giving us hope for a Project 007 reveal.
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.
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."
Well it's a UK property... So with that in mind politically correct bullshit will likely be a thing.
I hope bond is a minority but of British background, just so I can see the melt down of those specific “gamers”.
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.
@Noskypeno,
No, Asians are white adjacent, so that would never happen, apparently, look at AC Shadows, that explains a lot.
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
Young Bond? We talking James Bond Jr., here? Cuz that dude chases scum around the world, or so they say.
Thank you! I was so hoping there was someone on this site that would pick up what I was laying down here. 🤣
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.
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).
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.
Im eager to see what they do, i hope it's not just reskinned Hitman, but id imagine it'd be at least similar
GOOD! that so called "artwork" makes 47 look gay, and younger, did mention he looks gay?
HitMan V is alive though, in an interview i read (on N4G) last week David Bateman (HitMans voice actor) said himself he saw sum PROPER artwork which was (as they all say) "mindblowin"
They are fake. Guy who made them is enjoying the attention on his blog.

That's a shame, they wont do hitman 5 but they'll keep churning out the crap that is Kane and Lynch.
