Instead, fans of the developer are in for a treat tomorrow when IO announces their next project. No word yet on if it’s anotherHitmansequel, but, were I a betting man, I’d guess they’re cooking upNovember 19.

Now, IO Interactive hasn’t made a non-Hitmangame in about a decade. And that was the less-than-favorably-receivedKane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. That said, IO has come a long way as a developer since then. Plus, they’ve essentially perfected theHitmanformula at this point, so it makes perfect sense for them to try something new.
One very intriguing option could be the long-awaited sequel toFreedom Fighters. IO Interactive took the property with them when theysplit from Square Enixa few years ago, so it’s perfectly possible. Of course, it’s been quite a while since the firstFreedom Fighters.However, with more of that IO polish, the sequel could be another valuable IP in the team’s portfolio.
It would also be fun to see IO working on a brand new property. Outside ofMini Ninjas, the studios' entire catalog is full of shooters. Seeing them work with something completely new would be a treat.
Check back tomorrow to get all the details from IO Interactive’s next project. And, of course, get ready for some greatHitmanaction early next year.Hitman 3comes toNintendo Switch,PC,PS4,PS5,Xbox One, andXbox Series Xon January 20.
