Hitman: Absolution

Rocksteady Studios attached to Hitman 5

 

As far back as September 2007, Eidos has indicated that a new installment in IO Interactive's long-running Hitman franchise is in development. In the intervening years, Eidos has undergone significant upheaval, laying off some 25 percent of its staff in advance of being bought by Japanese publisher Square Enix. In that time, neither the publisher nor IO, its assumed developer, has said anything of the game.

 

And while the publisher remains mum on the project, new information on Hitman 5 appears to have surfaced today courtesy of the online resume of British actor Mark Sloan. As spotted by Joystiq, Sloan completed a round of motion capture for Hitman 5 in 2008.

 

Notably, Sloan lists Batman: Arkham Asylum outfit Rocksteady Studios as the game's developer, not franchise creator IO. It is unclear whether Rocksteady is solely handling development of the title or whether it is collaborating with IO. Square Enix had not responded to requests for comment on the resume listing as of press time.

 

Of IO's known projects, the Danish studio is working on Mini Ninjas, a new intellectual property for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, and PC. Eidos has also filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, indicating that IO may be at work on a sequel to the 2007 co-op-heavy shooter.

Hitman 5 Still At IO Interactive, Claims Eidos

 

While a fifth installment in the Hitman franchise is not really much of a surprise, Eidos has yet to officially announce its existence. With last year's movie having done quite well and rumors of a second one in the planning stages, CEO Ian Livingstone revealed a few months ago that IO Interactive would be in charge of Hitman 5. Last week, actor Mark Sloan's resume stated that he did Hitman mo-cap at UK-based Rocksteady Studios for Hitman 5, but a new statement from Eidos' Livingstone says that the Batman developer is not working on the game, and as far as he knows, IO is still on the job.

Next Hitman Coming In 2011?

 

This looks to be our first glimpse of the next game in the Hitman series. Well, not the game, per se, more like the game's poster and promotional artwork.

 

It can be found on the website of Great Graphics, a design firm that's worked with Square Enix - the series' new publisher - before, on the upcoming Kane & Lynch 2.

 

Both these posters show a burning Hitman logo, the branding of publishers Eidos and Square Enix and, most importantly, that of long-time series developers IO Interactive. One also has 2011 stamped on it. Seems to suggest a 2011 release for the next Hitman game, but since they're listed as poster concepts on the company's page, and not the final product, don't go holding them to that just yet.
