Concept art, supposedly for a new Hitman game, has been posted on the Neogaf forum today, sparking speculation that a new assassin may be set to be introduced to the franchise. There's no sign of Agent 47 anywhere in the pictures, which could make this either a hoax, or a sign that the series is set to break off in a new direction, or none of the above.
It was recently revealed that development of the next Hitman game is being handled by Square Enix Montreal, and not long time franchise custodians IO Interactive. Is there a twist in the tail? Are IO hanging on to Agent 47 and are Montreal working with a new character? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
