Hitman: Blood Money Set for Spring
Another game in the popular Hitman series.
Eidos has announced that it is currently working on another game in its popular Hitman series. Titled Hitman: Blood Money, the game is in development at Danish design house Io-Interactive for consoles and PC, with a tentative release date set for next spring.
First artwork for Hitman: Blood MoneyHitman: Blood Money turns the tables on lead character Agent 47, as he discovers a plot to eliminate his agency, the ICA, by killing the group's assassins one by one.
Gameplay gets a fresh twist by the new weapon acquisition system. Agent 47 will have to use money earned from missions to buy new weapons. Io-Interactive is hopeful that this will allow players to experience the game in unique ways.
The graphics have also received a substantial bump thanks to a retooling of Io-Interactive's Glacier tool.
Janos Flösser, Io-Interactive's managing director, explains: "Considerable time and effort has been spent developing a new version of the Glacier engine that enables us to implement many new and exciting features."
"The quality of the graphics and A.I. surpasses even our own expectations and this combined with a gripping narrative and the introduction of some really inventive characters makes us confident that Blood Money will be the greatest Hitman title to date."
Hitman: Blood Money will be released for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC in spring 2005.
