IO Interactive takes new approach to latest entry in series

MCV Staff 16th June 2015 Publishing

IO Interactive has unveiled the latest entry into the Hitman series.

Called just Hitman, the sandbox game will offer traditional gameplay elements such as assassinating targets through a method of your choosing.

This time however IO Interactive says it will continue developing the game post-launch, releasing regular new content and locations.

It will also focus on user-generated content, allowing players to create their own contacts. IO Interactive creative director Christian Elverdam said he expects "hundreds of thousands" of unique user-generated contracts to be created.

Hitman will be released digitally on December 8th.
