As reported by PCGamesN, German site Gamestar has claimed that the rights for Hitman will remain with developer IO Interactive, as opposed to Square Enix, who is selling the studio.
The "reliable" sources have assured the German website that IO is also looking for new investors, and that season two is definitely on the way, with the season allegedly being halfway finished already.
All of this is still a rumour, so take it with a pinch of salt, but is great news for IO Interactive if true. What kind of content would you want from a second season of Hitman?
