New 'Hitman' coming in 2015? IO Interactive teases new chapter of popular assassin video game

Earlier this month, fans of the video game series Hitman were in a huff after development of a next-gen version of the game was canceled. After some confusion, we soon found out that the series it self would move forward despite this minor setback. This week IO Interactive released a statement that was full of teasers for this rumored new Hitman title and promised fans would be happy with the results.

Check out this excerpt from the open letter posted on the Hitman official website, describing the new chapter of the franchise:

The game concentrates on the core Hitman fantasy of using a wide range of tools to take out a diverse group of targets across expansive, exotic locations around the world. That means we're packing in an extreme level of detail on the largest levels we have ever built for a Hitman game. We've adopted an open, non-linear level design approach to the game, ensuring the game will play out across huge, checkpoint-free, sandbox levels. Our aim is to create living, breathing and believable levels which will allow gamers to play around with the AI to create those unique moments every fan of the Hitman franchise loves.

The developers also promise to update fans of the game throughout 2014, when they can. This game could possibly come out as early as 2015, so make sure to check back as we will be following this story closely.
