Eidos Discusses Future Plans

Following the takeover by Square Enix, Eidos has gone over its future plans. Ian Livingstone, President of the company and former co-author of the Fighting Fantasy books, has confirmed that a new Hitman title is indeed being worked on at the moment and is to be developed by IO once more, but whatever people have heard in the way of details so far is merely speculation.

There is also potential for a new Tomb Raider movie, whilst the next game in the series will likely surprise a lot of people and reinvigorate the franchise. According to Livinstone, "...there are some remarkable things we're doing in the next Tomb Raider to make you say, 'Oh Lara, I love you so much!'".

Finally, Eidos is certainly working on new Intellectual Properties, but nothing will be ready before the end of 2009, although it can be said that the company cannot ignore the rise of online multiplayer popularity because it is fast becoming a huge market.
