"They've also got something called Project Fantasy in development, alongside a co-op mode for Hitman: World of Assassination. In an interview with Variety, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak discussed the topic of Hitman and the franchise's future. "So of course there will be more 'Hitman,'" he said. "But right now, I think we need to get to the other side of this year and next year you'll get more news about 'Hitman' co-op"."
"Abrak confirms that they will, "be talking about the next 'Hitman" after that. It's unclear if that means the company will begin discussing the next game internally or if it will be a public reveal, but either way, the maths points toward 2028. Abrak also talks about the ongoing success of Hitman: World of Assassination. "We have had more than 85 million gamers play it, and we have north of 25 million copies sold," he said."
IO Interactive is developing 007 First Light, expected in March 2026, alongside Project Fantasy and a co-op mode for Hitman: World of Assassination. The studio plans further Hitman content, with more news on co-op expected next year and discussions about the next Hitman to follow, suggesting a timeline toward 2028 for next-stage announcements. Hitman: World of Assassination has attracted over 85 million players and sold more than 25 million copies, maintaining over a million monthly players. Current studio priorities put 007 First Light first before shifting greater attention back to Hitman and future projects.
