Warner Bros. and IO Interactive Working on a New Game

IO Interactive is notorious for its work on the Hitman franchise. Now, the developer and publisher Warner Bros. has confirmed they'll continue their partnership for a new game.

The details are limited but it does hint that this is a new game outside from the Hitman franchise. Maybe a new IP?

“We’re very pleased to continue our relationship with the talented team at IO Interactive,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “IO Interactive has a longstanding legacy of creating iconic games, and we’re looking forward to partnering on this next endeavor to bring a new console and PC gaming experience to players globally.”

“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,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO, IO Interactive. “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 IOI together with Warner Bros., we’re currently looking for ambitious talent to join our team in our Copenhagen and Malmö studios for this extraordinary journey.”

Hitman 3 has been rumored to be in development, and it's likely that the studio is taking on multiple projects. After all, Hitman 2 was similar in look and concept as the original game. But with IO Interactive building on the core mechanics for more elaborate gameplay.
