Hitman developer IO Interactive will reveal more news about the upcoming sequel sometime this year.

Fans of Hitman weren’t just going to wait for IO to reveal any details about the long-rumoured next-gen game, so they went and asked the developer on Twitter.

@kirolos55 There's more info coming this year and we can't wait to share it! — Hitman (@Hitman) January 12, 2015

Both Square and IO have been teasing a new Hitman for a while now. However, ever since the release of Absolution back in 2012, there hasn’t been any concrete info on the next game in the series.

Rumours circulated around the same time last year that the next Hitman game has been cancelled, which could give us an idea as to why it has taken them this long to talk about a sequel.

Thanks, Videogamer.
