News broke the other day of a cancelled Hitman game presumed to be in development at Square Enix Montreal. However, that is not the whole truth. In fact, it turns out this was simply the fallout of previous decisions. Originally, Square Enix had decided to have their Montreal studio and original developers IO Interactive co-operate on the AAA game. However, with changes made at IO Interactive and them focusing solely on Hitman it seems this strategy was abandoned in favour of having IO Interactive working on the PC/next-gen title and the Montreal outfit working on a mobile iteration. So in fact, no in development Hitman title has been cancelled, regardless of what some LinkedIn profiles claimed.
