Warner Bros. Interactive and IO Interactive signed a deal about a new IP! It is not going to be Hitman 3!

Warner and IO (whose Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden studios will be involved) have announced a worldwide publishing an distribution agreement for „a new console and PC game experience.” So this game will be developed by the two previously mentioned studios of IO (whose newest game is Hitman 2, also published by Warner, unlike the first game, which was published by Square Enix – IO has broken away from them).

„We’re very pleased to continue our relationship with the talented team at IO Interactive. IO Interactive has a longstanding legacy of creating iconic games, and we’re looking forward to partnering on this next endeavour to bring a new console and PC gaming experience to players globally,” said Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad in a press release. „Over the past few years, Warner Bros. has shown us first-hand that they understand and respect our creative vision, and we’re looking forward to continuing this relationship. IO Interactive has a proud history of creating compelling characters and universes for our players to enjoy—it’s in our DNA. As we embark on this exciting project to create a new universe for IO Interactive together with Warner Bros., we’re currently looking for ambitious talent to join our team in our Copenhagen and Malmo studios for this extraordinary journey,” IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak added.

So why will it not be Hitman 3? The answer is simple: NEW UNIVERSE. Agent 47 is unlikely to kill aliens. (We’re not high on drugs!) You can apply to the job listings on this page. The game is most likely a next-gen title at this point, as the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Project Scarlett will launch in a bit more than a year.
