Hitman 2016 was an episodic release that sold way under expectations. Square-Enix wanted to get rid of IO Interactive over it. Somehow IO Interactive managed to keep the IP and go independent. As far as I'm aware this has never happened before or since.

They still managed to get Hitman 2 out in 2018 with WB Games despite all of this happening. I don't think this sold well either. WB Games isn't back for the third game

Now they're about to release Hitman 3 as a totally independent studio. Again just over 2 years after Hitman 2. On top of that they're again remastering the old levels and also developing VR versions. All for free if you already own them. They also managed to gain the 007 franchise recently.

Like its a miracle they survived all of this never mind actually getting these games all out on time. They promised a trilogy and have delivered it through pure commitment. Really impressive. On top of that these games perform well and look great on all platforms they're on. Even with the pretty big sense of scale and loads on NPC's.

I've played every Hitman game I enjoyed everyone except Absolution and Go. I will buy and play it on EGS because I don't care

Yeah I've been a fan since the demo of Codename 47. Overall it has been a pretty fun franchise to follow over the years.

iO has been through a lot of ups and downs and has still hung in there. They are honestly one of my favorite studios and Ive always admired them doing what they wanna do even when its not something I care for

im also super thrilled about Project 007 though I dont really know how theyre going to pull off the premise of a pre-license to kill bond

I'm glad they rebooted the series, I liked the idea of the older games but I absolutely sucked ass at them.

The new ones are great for learning and improving in.
