Here’s Why Square Enix Let Hitman And IO Interactive Go
It was the news of the year when Square Enix decided to sell IO interactive. The news was announced in May, with the Japanese firm initially looking to sell the studio to another publisher but eventually settling on a management buyout (MBO) with the IO team, giving the Hitman studio its independence.

When Square Enix first announced that the next game in the Hitman series was going to be episodic, it was received with quite the skepticism.

And rightly so, since the previous entry in the series, Hitman: Absolution, got tepid response, and was widely regarded as a dumbing down from the previous entries in the series. Turns out, we could not have been more wrong. The episodic format has been a very effective means for the way the new Hitman game is crafted. It furthermore gave players a reason to keep coming back,not only for future episodes, but also for a regular outflow of free DLC challenges, and made the game a subject of conversations throughout the yea...
