Square Trying To sell Off IO interactive (Hitman Studio)

[Liquid]

There's got to be more...

It might have to be a reboot tbh. I don't see anywhere they can go with how part 3 ended.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

They botched the rollout with the sudden change to episodic at the last minute, mixed with the fact that they never communicated the always-online component and how you could barely get on the server for the first few weeks and would get kicked to the menu if the connection dropped. The preorder bonus items got patched out of the game etc. I was able to get a refund on PSN no questions asked. They were doing little to no damage control on Twitter and their forums.

The game turned out dope and they fixed most of the issues, but I think the damage was done

Always felt like that was more Square Enix decision than IO's

The game was a disaster when it first dropped until the Italy joint dropped

Hitman ist gerettet - Staffel 2 kommt, Rechte bleiben beim Entwickler

There are good news for Hitman fans. Agent 47's current adventure has a future! After publisher Square Enix recently separated from Hitman developer IO Interactive , the concern of the killer community was correspondingly large: Does the spin off the premature Aus for Hitman 6? After all, the rights of a brand remain traditionally with the publisher and not with the developer. In addition, we have been waiting for the announcement of a second one since the successful start of the first Hitman season.

From reliable circles, we've learned that the rights to Hitman actually stay with IO Interactive (and not at Square). And this is not enough: Season 2 comes definitely , is even halfway to the completion and probably with 2018 break. IO Interactive is looking for a new investor, regardless of the future of Agent 47.

We can not reveal any further details on the origin of this information, but so much is said: We regard the information as absolutely reliable and secured. And we expect IO to officially comment on it next week.
