Eidos confirms new Hitman, new Kane and Lynch and new IP

[Rock Raiyu]

The president of Eidos Life has confirmed loads of new details regarding upcoming Eidos property. A new Hitman game is in the works, a new Kane and Lynch game is also in the works, while there is a new approach to Lara Croft and new IP is definitely being cooked up.

He stated that there’s been no announcement or release date for Hitman, though implied that Kane and Lynch would be released this year.

Livingstone said that the target release for Kane and Lynch 2 is September , though added that “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.”

Livingstone also briefly mentioned another Eidos-owned IP, one that to this day remains the biggest jewel in the company’s crown. He said that Tomb Raider Underworld had met the company’s expectations, though reiterated that it was released in tough times, with development costs so high and a 360/PS3 userbase that isn’t yet as far reaching as the PS2’s.

Yaaaay, Hitman, the scope for interesting stuff they could do is much more now we have the technology to spare on next-gen consoles

. I'll be pleased just as long as they bring it to PC as well though.

usually the pc version gets better for such games but it is a pop and good game nonetheless

They mentioned Hitman 5 was in the works even before announcing Kane & Lynch. Also, it was fairly obvious from Blood Money's ending.

Can't wait. One of my favorite series by far.

I hope it comes to the PC too man, I love those series.
2 stays the best, but Blood Money had some very good missions.
Great games!
