GamingIndians.com just had the opportunity to talk to the ‘Life President of Eidos,’ Ian Livingstone, while he was attending the Golden Cursor Animation Awards in Mumbai.
Speaking about the new Hitman game, Livingstone confirmed that work had begun on the project, but couldn’t provide any specific details.
"It’s being worked on, but there’s been no announcement on the release date yet," he explained. "We haven’t even announced the game yet, so everything you hear about the next Hitman game is purely speculation at this point."
Moving from classy agents to psycho killers, Livingstone discussed the Kane and Lynch sequel.
"[The game has] a target date [of] 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."
When asked to confirm the existence of the elusive Thief IV, Livingstone gave an equally elusive answer.
"Well, we did some research on all our franchises and the one that was most wanted was Thief. So you might want to draw your own conclusions, but I cannot confirm that."
There’s plenty more, including Eidos’ reasoning for Arkham Asylum’s delay, over at GamingIndians.
