Rumor: No new Hitman until at least late 2011 photo

This week, Hitman 5 artwork popped up online, raising the eyebrows of excited fans. IO Interactive took the wind out of their sails, saying that the artwork (pictured above) "does not represent any new Hitman game."

Now, according to Eurogamer's sources, word has come that a new Hitman game is indeed int he works. Thing is, we don't be seeing it until holiday of 2011 at the earliest. Play.com backs up the sources information, listing the unannounced title for a November 28, 2011 release date. While it seems unlikely that a retailer would have such a date set in stone so far in advance, it's an interesting place to find Eurogamer's rumor corroborated.

Back to that artwork: the source also indicated that while IO wrote it off, it's "likely" related to the upcoming title.

Now that I think about it, I've ever played a Hitman game. Weird.

Ouch. That sucks. I admit that I only started with Blood Money, but dammit have I been really chomping at the bit to play another Hitman game.

A sequel that takes years to come out and is actually a sequel rather than an expansion pack sold as a sequel?

THE HORROR!!!!

Hitman is awesome and so is this post, but only because it's talkin about the possibility of Hitman 5

As much as I enjoy Hitman, I think the extra development time is needed. After 2, Eidos never changed anything about the subsequent games. We don't need another title that does little to develop the gameplay.

Sadly, my experience with Hitman begins and ends with the awful movie way back. Maybe a new one will be the thing that makes me play the actual games.

I've only ever play Hitman:Blood Money but I really enjoyed it. Are any of the other games worth going back too? I hear that the deaths only got really creative and interesting in the last couple games.
