Earlier this month, Hitman 3?s announcement appeared during Sony?s PlayStation 5 digital event. The reveal trailer confirmed a release window, platforms, and general tone of the new entry. However, it was unclear whether IO would join up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment again for publishing purposes. Such a partnership isn?t in effect for this particular project. Instead, IO Interactive will develop and publish Hitman 3 itself.
IO Interactive community leads Travis Barbour and Clemens Koch announced IO?s plans during a recent stream on Twitch. Barbour notes that this move is an important step for the studio, a challenge the teams in Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden are ready to take on. Therefore, ?pretty much everything that goes into Hitman 3 will come, one way or another, from IO Interactive,? Barbour explained. (The devs share this detail at the 13:00 timestamp in the recent Twitch stream, which now appears as an archived video.)
