Last week an actor’sCasting Call resume attributed the nextHitmaniteration to Rocksteady Limited, the London-based developer responsible forBatman: Arkham Asylum. We didn’t like the link. Publisher Eidos has made it clear several times in recent memory that IO Interactive is developing the nextHitmangame. It appears we were right to be suspicious of the resume. indeed, IO Interactive is handling the next title.
Speaking toPWGM, Eidos CEO Ian Livingstone confirmed that theBatmandeveloper isn’t behindHitman 5: “This is the first I’ve heard about it.Hitmanalways has been and always will be IO Interactive’s baby, which it still continues to be so.”
He would later add, “Rocksteady are not involved with the development ofHitman 5.”
Well, that gives us zero wiggle room. Unless, of course,Hitman 5isn’tHitman5. Conspiracy!
