UPDATE: IO Interactive Comments On Hitman Art
UPDATE: Hitman developer IO Interactive has commented on the Hitman art that went up on the website of a Danish artist touting that the next Hitman would be coming out in 2011. Not so, says the developer. "Unfortunately, the concept art was created as part of a portfolio," IO PR manager Tom Stratton told scrawlfx.com. "[It was] intended to showcase an artist's style or method of work and does not represent any new Hitman game." As disappointing as this is, publisher Square Enix has previously stated that IO Interactive is working on a Hitman game for an unannounced release date.
ORIGINAL STORY: Series developer IO Interactive has been working on the fifth Hitman game, and if these concept promotional graphics are to believed, we should expect to see the game next year.
The materials are from the Great Graphics website, the home of Danish artist Chandra Larsson, who has worked with IO Interactive and publisher Square Enix before on the look for Kane & Lynch 2. Although it appears that the Hitman concept art has been taken down from the website, the graphics state that the next Hitman game is being slated for 2011.
We'll have to wait and see if this info is true whenever Square Enix makes the release date official.
