In an interview with GamingIndians Eidos president Ian Livingstone discussed just about everything and among other things he revealed that IO Interactive are working on the next Hitman, Mini Ninjas and the sequel to Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Given that we have seen nothing from the game so far it is surprising that a September date is being targeted.
"Can you give us some details about the next Hitman game?
It's being worked on, but there's been no announcement on the release date yet. We haven't even announced the game yet, so everything you hear about the next Hitman game is purely speculation at this point.
Will it be IO Interactive working on this one as well?
Yes, it's IO Interactive. They're making Hitman, Kane and Lynch and also Mini Ninjas; all at the same studio.
Is Kane and Lynch 2 on schedule for release this year?
There's a target date for September, but as you understand, these games often slip because the production times are so difficult to predict due to the amount of work they have to put into them now in high-end consoles. It's a tough business.
What about the Kane and Lynch movie?
Yes, hopefully there will be a Kane and Lynch movie. They haven't started production yet, but it's getting close."
