IO Interactive, the studio behind the acclaimed Hitman series, has opened up about the very different approach it's taking with its next big title: 007 First Light. If you’re expecting a straightforward reskin of Agent 47 in a tuxedo, think again.
Speaking with PC Gamer, art director Rasmus Poulsen is keen to draw a clear line between the developer's infamous bald assassin and the world’s most famous secret agent. “If Hitman is a single-minded killer and basically the bad guy of the game,” Poulsen says, “Bond is the hero.” It’s a surprisingly candid statement, especially from a studio best known for letting players think like a villain.
