Square Enix Montreal's next-gen Hitman title has been cancelled, it's been confirmed.
The fate of the game was left uncertain after Square Enix chose to shift the team's focus onto mobile titles in mid-2013, but according to the
LinkedIn profile of senior game designer Richard Knight, the game was formally cancelled last year.
Little was known about the title, which was first announced in late 2011 and expected to be Square Enix Montreal's first production, but the
profile of another senior designer states that the game would have been another "re-imagining" of the series and, like the earlier games, featured both third and first-person combat.
