Io Interactive

Io Interactive has redefined stealth-action, building a legacy on intensely immersive and intricately designed worlds. This Danish developer and publisher consistently pushes the boundaries of game development, as seen in their Glacier engine, which allows for unparalleled detail and emergent gameplay. The studio is the Hitman series, having crafted the franchise from the ground up, solidifying its place in gaming history. As Agent 47, players become master assassins, blending into bustling crowds and exploiting environmental hazards to eliminate high-profile targets with deadly precision.

Io Interactive drops players into sprawling sandbox environments, encouraging creative problem-solving and rewarding experimentation. In Hitman 3, for instance, you might don a disguise to infiltrate a high-society event, triggering a chain of events that leads your target into a secluded area, ripe for elimination. Or, you could simply drop a chandelier. Beyond the world of assassination, Io Interactive is venturing into new territory, including the James Bond universe, promising a fresh take on the iconic spy franchise, while remaining true to their core values of player agency and immersive gameplay.

Their dedication to innovation has earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Io Interactive’s games are readily accessible on PC and consoles, and they’re also available through cloud gaming services like GeForce NOW, letting players experience the thrill of Agent 47’s missions on nearly any device, wherever they go.
