I løbet af det seneste års tid har det danske studie IO Interactive ikke haft det alt for let. Til trods for den succesfulde lancering af Hitman tilbage i 2016 endte studiet med at splitte med udgiver Square Enix, og det resulterede desværre i en større fyringsrunde.
Dette taler studiet nu endelig lidt mere om. For nylig talte GameSpot lidt med studiets Associate Director, Eskil Mohl, og her beskrev han fyringerne som værende det værste, men også noget der fik studiet til at stå sammen.
"We had to let a lot of people go. But that made the team that was left really come together [and say] 'Let's do this, we believe in the product'. We were already working on Hitman 2 and then this thing happened. It sort of unified us in a way. Yeah, it's been super hard, but its always a lot of work, but it's fun work. It really made us go, 'Yeahhh we can do it!"
Desuden fortæller Mohl, at det faktisk er lidt af et mirakel at studiet fortsat eksisterer.
"It's sort of a miracle that we're here today. We're super happy and excited about that because of course it's been a rough time. It took a long time to find Warner as well."
Hitman 2 ankommer d. 9 november for Deluxe Edition-ejere, og d. 13 november for alle andre.
