Hitman 5 Confirmed

This is slightly old news, but we’ve got a big Hitman community here, and it came up in another post, so I thought I’d make it official.

Hitman 5 is definitely in production at IO Interactive, the developer of the first four (increasingly brilliant) games.

The news came about via page 17 of an Eidos report, published last year. Hitman is one of Eidos’ biggest brands, so the continuation of the series felt like a given, but it’s nice to have the official tip all the same.

Three of the key founders of IO split off from the developer in recent weeks, so let’s hope that the creative and independent spirit of the company can live on, and that Hitman continues to grow, rather than succumbing to the stagnant annual release format adopted by many other popular series.

All the latest Hitman 5 content will appear on the Hitman 5 Gamepedia page.

  14. BringBackTheStash Says:

    no actually if you played from the beginning and understood the story Agent 47 is Hitler cloned and without the stash. promoting the white is right with his bright white skin and killing mexicans in blood money.

    Actually 47 was born in Romania and has a British accent. I’m from Greece.

  34. Poonani Says:

    “Born on September 5, 1964 in Romania and tagged with the identity 640509-040147 on the back of his head, 47 was raised with the other “Series IV” clones by the asylum’s staff.”

  35. Spyros Says:

    One of the most awesome games fully deserves another sequel (as long as it exceeds the previous one, which I believe it will)… The programmers have made a tremendous amount of effort and they deserve congrats! Can’t wait to see mr 47 doing what he does best again…
    Greetzzzzzzz from Greece

  36. Casus Says:

  39. scott Says:

    Whoever here is 47, whatever his genetic makeup…who cares…he’s the greatest game character out there.

    Still my alltime favorite PC game; would like to be playing #5 now but would rather wait longer for the best product.

    Hitler-sabotear y matar agentes ss.y la ùltima seria tratar de acecinar a Hitler en su mansión de las montañas ..bue..se los dejo
    Bueno es una fantasía que el agente 47 verlo vestidos de otros uniformes y q pasar por diferentes pruebas. Gracias por volar mi imaginación y horas de entretenimiento….Grasias

  72. HitmanGurl Says:

  73. anthony Says:

    Agent 47 was cloned from evil people of different nationalities, orto-meyer, lee hong, lee hong and others. Whatever they’re nationality was thats Agent 47’s nationality. Dumb Asses. and no way Agent 47 is Jamacain or aussie. All cause he looks like you dont make him your nationality, you morongs. Read more about Agent 47’s past and you’ll see Im right.

  82. m3nth01 Says:

    47 is a genetically-enhanced clone, the culmination of decades of secret research into gene augmentation. His creation was funded by a cabal of criminal masterminds who donated their own DNA to the project. The men whose DNA contributed to 47’s creation are often referred to within the series as the “Five Fathers”, consisting of Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer, Lee Hong, Pablo Ochoa, Franz Fuchs and Arkadij Jegorov. So to all retards your not him and he’s not you so shut.

  83. Major Isoor Says:

    Well, the ICA is Danish, but 47 himself is sort of a mix…

    Anyway, great to hear that Htman 5 is confirmed!

  84. Tim Says:

    Actually Hitman is your mother, and so am I!

  85. Tim Says:

    Hitman is part Samoan, part Finnish, but was raised by a Belgian farmer and his 15-year-old web-footed love slave. They raised him to be evil.

    And so am I.

  86. atalanta44 Says:

    Agent 47 is an a**e kicking female Aussie g*d-damnit!

  120. Coot Says:

    Hitman (A.K.A. 47) is a clone made in Romania from the genetic DNA of a Chinese, a Columbian, an Austrian, a Russian and a Romanian. The Romanian makes 47 kill all his other “fathers”, but then 47 kills the Romanian and now works for the International Contract Agency which has a controller named Diana Burnwood. You’d actually have to play the 4 games in a strange order to understand the whole plot:
    First Hitman 1: Codename 47,
    then Hitman 3: Contracts (but only Mission 1 “Asylum Aftermath”),
    then Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
    and then Hitman 4: Blood Money (After Mission 3 “Curtains Down play Hitman 3: Contracts from “Meat King’s Party” to the end and continue Hitman 4 from where you left off.)
