Rumor: Hitman Series to Continue as IO Interactive Retains Rights
Speaking to German publication GameStar, “reliable circles” have apparently confirmed that the franchise’s license will stay with IO Interactive rather than staying with Square Enix as some had assumed it would. The publication also claims that season two of Hitman is “definitely” coming. The second season of the game is said to be “halfway to completion” though it will “probably” go on a break for 2018.
Although the publication says that it “can not reveal any further details on the origin of this information,” it does say that the info is “reliable and secure.” Moreover, it states that IO Interactive itself plans to “officially comment” on the future of the Hitman series next week. It has been pointed out that Denmark, which is where the developer calls home, is currently on holiday from now through the weekend which is perhaps why it hasn’t commented on the matter sooner.
The information, though currently unsubstantiated, is wonderful news for Hitman fans who feared that the series would now be dead in the water. With Square Enix looking to shift ownership of the series’ custodian and with the publisher not having suggested who would take it over in IO Interactive’s absence, many assumed that this meant that the Hitman franchise would end.

They need to just wrap up the series already, the games were good back then, they just feel dragged out and the stories aren't interesting.
