Last Hitman It turned out, as they say, “sleeping hit”: gamers truly tuned the game only closer to the end of the first season. Apparently, this is not the effect that the publishing house was counting on Square Enix – It announced that she was selling a studio Io -intractive. But what will happen to Hitman, The question is still open.
Even before the divorce from Square Enix The developers stated that the second season of the game was starting. And since Io -intractive In the best case, it will cross under the wing of another publishing house (and at worst it will close), it is not known how it will affect the following episodes Hitman.
However, the large German site Gamestar states that everything is in order with the game. The series remains in the hands Io -intractive, Therefore, the studio will be able to work on it and without guardianship Square Enix. In addition, the second season will definitely appear. He is already half ready and most likely starts during 2018. Finally, Io -intractive also does not sit idle and independently searches for himself an investor who will help to partlessly part with Square Enix.
The Gamestar portal did not indicate where he got such information, but claims that the source is extremely reliable and reliable. So there is a hope that Hitman will live successfully without supervision Square Enix.

This is good news. Usually the transfer of the series to other hands ends in failure. The authors better understand their creation.
One I don’t understand complaints https://casinracasino.co.uk/ about the episodic system?
It comes perfectly for the hitman, because each episode is a separate level-sandwich, where the victim can be killed by an abundance of methods?
The news is good. And then over the past couple of years, they canceled/froze/closed/released too many projects unnecessary. Examples: Silent Hills, Mgs V, Deus Ex Mankind Divved (not only the game was not completed, but the series was frozen. Bastards), Scalebound, Nosgoth.
Eh … it’s all bad. The great (and not very) series want to be reborn again, but … no.
It turned out like this: you have not earned money yet, but must continue to finance full -fledged episodes. Moreover, you can knock out full profit only upon the release of all seasons, waiting for the players who decided to wait for all episodes (there are not few of them too) to pass, before that everything was preliminarily. Moreover, you should already give good to the discounts of previous episodes to continue to buy them. The scheme is rather confusing and investors do not approve of the fact that for the money spent by them they will fully report after 2 years, after the release by the end of the next financial year or at best at the June traditional training camps of directors. And it is necessary to continue to finance the further production of Hitman, which will again be produced according to episodes.
This is how the guys with large wallets reason, but you reason like an ordinary player.
But no. Deus Ex and Silent Hill had a huge chance of returning (and in the case of Deus Ex, it could be a whole series of excellent games), but … Silent Hills was canceled and Deus Ex was frozen.
The money has already been spent on the production of the 2nd season, this is obvious. Now you have to beat off. Therefore, no one will simply let no one on the shelf of the 2nd season, so we are waiting (and thank God). But the further fate of the franchise is interesting, we will live and see. It is clear that no one will leave such a brand unattended, but we will hold the fists so that we do not leave the source, so as not to turn the legend into garbage;) for me Hitman is something special in the world of games, so I hope for a bright future;)
It was originally planned that Hitman will first be released with some number of missions (3-4, maybe all 6), and then over time will be supplemented during the development of free. This was later invented a system of episodes, most likely it was the publisher.
The main thing is that this studi release the second season, otherwise I like the first. Although only recently I began to properly pass 4 mission)))
And here are such news =.=
This justifies them? On the contrary, this is just an obvious example of how a series can slide into something passing.
Square Enix would be better to take care of the Final Fantasy series, which does not understand where and turns … and turns into elegant shorts. About Final Fantasy 7 Remake generals generally silence. Plus Io -intractive also sell … probably asleep.
Of course, all this is done with the approval of the publishing house, otherwise the developers would be difficult to cash out checks for such liberties, t.To. there would simply be not. This is not a game. Perhaps Square Enix proposed an option with the release of a full -fledged game and a conflict arose, t.To. Io -intractive refused. They decided to resolve in a quiet way, without special slopes on the Internet and a showdown in court for the brand, considering that this will not affect the business (shares) or agreement according to compensation for the already spent money for the second season. Let’s say, in our world, the sale of the developer studio, together with the game brand, is a rarity. But I’m wondering now ..
Rumors rumors, but there is hope. The second season is necessary for the game, at least to complete the narrative or hint at its completion.
The last Hitman was, as they say, “sleeping hit”: gamers really tasted the game only closer to the end of the first season.
I, like some other players, probably bought the game only after the release of the entire first season (having previously felt the first episode). The episodic system, in my opinion, is not what you need for the series. Of course, about the pluses, I do not forget that at any moment the developers can return to one or another episode, improve it or modify it for DLC and the like, diversify the game in short. True, in this case you have to wait for you to move forward. Hitman is not the project where you need to monitor the plot, you want new contracts (I prefer not to look online at all), the episodes are so rich that in a couple of days you already know them along and across, and there are no additives. On the one hand – a crazy study to the smallest detail; On the other hand, the brevity and feeling of “hunger” leaves behind each individual episode. When I had the whole game in my hands, there was no such feeling, I understood that at any moment I could continue to explore new locations.
Apparently there is no money, but you need to eat. Although why Square Enix healed the loot at the beginning of the development – it is incomprehensible.
I think I thought that the fashionable episodic system will sell better the game better than everything at once together + I always want to get money early.
