Hitman developer IO Interactive and publisher Warner Bros. have just announced they will work together to bring players a new console and PC game. The name of the upcoming hasn't been disclosed yet, but IO Interactive confirmed it will create a new universe, so it's not Hitman 3 if that's what you're waiting for.

To help shape up this “new universe,” IO Interactive is now recruiting top talent for the upcoming title. Both IOI Copenhagen in Denmark and the recently opened IOI Malmo in Sweden are looking for people who can help them develop their new game.

Over the past few years, Warner Bros. has shown us first-hand that they understand and respect our creative vision, and we’re looking forward to continuing this relationship. IO Interactive has a proud history of creating compelling characters and universes for our players to enjoy—it’s in our DNA. As we embark on this exciting project to create a new universe for IOI together with Warner Bros., we’re currently looking for ambitious talent to join our team in our Copenhagen and Malmö studios for this extraordinary journey,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO, IO Interactive.

IO Interactive and Warner Bros. have previously partnered on the release of high-profile games like Hitman 2, Hitman: Definitive Edition and Hitman HD Enhanced Collection. Surprisingly, the companies did not collaborate on titles outside the Hitman series, so the next one is likely to be the first.

We’re very pleased to continue our relationship with the talented team at IO Interactive. IO Interactive has a longstanding legacy of creating iconic games, and we’re looking forward to partnering on this next endeavor to bring a new console and PC gaming experience to players globally,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

No ETA has been revealed yet, but we'll probably learn more about IO Interactive's new game next year, so hang tight.
