Hitman 5: Developer CVs all-but confirm a 2011 release. IO Interactive still silent in the face of the obvious

How about if it became increasingly apparent, duringyour trips to the kitchen to aquire more booze,that they had all the necessary ingredients for the good stuff already in stock ? And that they'd been recently been leafing through the recipe? Wouldn't you ওstart to become frustrated with your friend?

HEY, IO INTERACTIVE. STOP DICKI🏅NG AROUND WITH KANE & LYNCH AND ADMIT YOU'RE MAKING HITMAN 5.


Above: Oh really, IO?

, Programmerand Producer Rasmus Hoejengaard - have added Hitman 5 to their o☂nline CVs (although Hoejengaard has since removed the information). One of them even mentions working on a new version of IO's Glacier Engine, the tech that has powered every Hitman game to date. Kind of makes sense that they'd want to show off their first new tech in years with the first proper current-gen outing for their flagship series, no?

Hitman 5. 2011. Mark it in your diaries people. Because it's surely happening. IO won't admit it. Square-Enix won't admit it. But it's surely happening. I just wi🐷sh IO would deign to make our wait a bit easier by giving us a few real details to get excited about.

Cheers,. And thanks also,
