Връща правата над интерактивната собственост обратно от Square Enix, под чието крило трепереше.
Спасена Бърнууд.
Официално в бъдеще IO-Interactive създателят на стелт-екшъна за гологлавия баркодиран агент, кодово запомнен за 47..агент 47, ще оперира финансово автономно. Съдбата доскоро на самото беше под въпрос, след като Square Enix, досегашия "настойник" скъса с разработването на външни студия, по живо, по здраво.
За това ръководството съобщи в писмо, начело с Хакан Абрак, шеф-основател;
In its 19 years of history, Io-Interactive has brought you original and exciting entertainment; from Mini Ninjas and Freedom Fighters to gaming's most notorious criminals Kane & Lynch and of course our beloved Agent 47. With our latest game, we have not only transformed Hitman, but also moved our entire studio into the AAA digital era. Our live product has disrupted the video game business and has received recognition and praise from press, community and our fans.
There are many tales of hope, dreams, hardship and joy within these walls. We have never strived for the expected or predictable. Instead, we are always in pursuit for what feels original and real. Our passion and determination has never been greater and so that is why we have decided it is not the time to stop as we have many more exciting and original tales to tell.
Therefore I am proud to announce today that IOI is now officially an independent studio. We have successfully concluded our negotiations with Square Enix and have agreed to a management buyout. Crucially, we will keep all of the rights to the Hitman IP.

Thank you.
Hakan,
Io-Independent
