[ November 4th 2004 ]
Eidos,
one of the world's leading publishers and developers
of entertainment software, announces the return
of the world's deadliest assassin in Hitman: Blood
Money(TM). Developed by Io-Interactive, Hitman:
Blood Money will be released worldwide in spring
2005 on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. When assassins
from Agent 47's contract agency, The ICA, are
systematically eliminated in a series of hits,
it seems a larger, more powerful agency has entered
the fray. For Agent 47 it's business as usual,
until suddenly he loses contact with The ICA.
Sensing that he may be the next target, he travels
to America, where he prepares to make a killing.
Agent
47 is back and this time he's paid in cold, hard
cash. How the money is spent will affect his passage
through the game and the weapons at his disposal,
resulting in a unique gameplay experience for
each player. Powered by a new version of Io's
stunning Glacier engine, Hitman: Blood Money will
deliver the most brutal and realistic simulation
of life as the world's deadliest assassin.
Mike
McGarvey, ceo of Eidos says: "The Hitman series
is one of Eidos' biggest franchises and goes from
strength to strength with every new instalment.
Io-Interactive is one of the world's most accomplished
developers, and yet again has raised the stakes
in terms of graphics and gameplay with Hitman:
Blood Money."
Janos
Flösser, managing director of Io-Interactive says:
"Considerable time and effort has been spent developing
a new version of the Glacier engine that enables
us to implement many new and exciting features.
The quality of the graphics and A.I. surpasses
even our own expectations and this combined with
a gripping narrative and the introduction of some
really inventive characters makes us confident
that Blood Money will be the greatest Hitman title
to date."
