I’m pretty sure you already know it, but I’ll post it here anyways, IO-Interactive (The creators of the Hitman franchise) are working on a new game, which will be a James Bond 007 game

I’m excited, are you ?

    If it’s live service with parts of the game locked off unless you play it at the right time and are connected online, I’m not interested.

    ‘HITMAN’ turned me off so quickly with that. I just play Blood Money again instead.

    I can’t get excited about it until they stop their weird online requirements. Otherwise I’d be very excited.

      Or only selling the game in pieces but in such way that those pieces can only be bought in packs that force you to pay for the same pieces multiple times.

      Fuck that scheme.

        I’ve bought each of the three latest Hitman titles on Steam exactly once at regular video game price and gotten all the content of each game, plus freely received the collection of all that content in the “World of Assassination” consolidation. Plus the free and amazing rogue-like expansion taking place across all maps from all games.

        Seems like a really good deal to me.

    I loved their last three HITMAN games, easily in my top 10 favorite games ever (the actual story portion of it, not the liveservice), so yeah, I‘m very excited.

    I also wished they would‘ve not gone the liveservice route with their last HITMAN title and kept making proper entries. Have there even been new maps since the story ended? Last time I checked all they did was throw out new targets with a shallow story on - at best modified - existing maps.

    That being said, I‘m so ready and excited for actual new content from them. Exploring their maps has always been so fun for me.

    And I think them working on a James Bond game has been known for so long, it shouldn‘t be much longer until we see it.

      I loved the first three Hitman games but I couldn’t tell your which were the last three because it’s so incredibly confusing.

    No. Missing a lot of info like game genre, play style, online requirements, forced gambling I mean loot boxes damn it. I mean surprise game mechanics
