Hitman developer IO Interactive is currently putting Agent 47 on the backburner while focusing on the upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light. However, the new Bond title may take some cues from Hitman: World of Assassination’ live-service approach by adding new missions post-launch.
IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak hinted at the possibility of providing Bond with ongoing support during an extended interview with The Game Business.
“We obviously have tons of experience now from World of Assassination, and tons of experience on how to extend a single-player experience by giving desirable free content to players,” said Abrak. “The first objective with 007 First light is to come out with the best possible, most impactful journey for gamers. Again, without giving too much detail, you could expect that we’ll be applying some of our learnings from World of Assassination to Bond.”
