Stealth action released earlier this year Hitman 3 ended up on 300% more commercially successful than the last part of the series. This was stated by the CEO in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz. IO Interactive Hakan Abrak…
The head of the studio noted that Hitman 3 was not only the most highly rated game in the franchise, but also brought a record profit.despite the fact that it was the first game fully published by the studio itself.
It is gratifying to hear this, considering that the first part of the Hitman trilogy World of assassination did not live up to expectations Square enix and led to the publisher’s abandonment of the franchise. However, IOI continued to successfully develop the series on its own and paid for the development of Hitman 3 within a week after the release of the game, although, as Abrak admitted, they had to face the difficulties of adapting to work in a pandemic.
Amid strong sales of Hitman 3, IO Interactive announced the opening of its third Barcelona office this morning… Along with the existing offices in Copenhagen and Malmö, the new team will join the production of all of the studio’s current projects, including Project 007, a secret game on a new IP and universe Hitman… After the three World of Assassination installments, the studio has taken the episode for a breather, Abrak said, but they already have some interesting ideas for the franchise that are currently being explored. In addition, IOI plans to start publishing other people’s games in the future.
