Eidos Rumors

[Apr 06, 2004, 11:46 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

In a speculative report punctuated by hedges like "rumour," "speculation," "suggested," "possibly," and "rumoured," Computer And Video Games (thanks Frans) has a story up reportedly based on a corporate slideshow they say "wiggled its way onto the 'Net" before being pulled. According to CVG the slideshow revealed plans for upcoming projects to be published by Eidos Interactive:

Eidos' report has revealed a number of intriguing upcoming games for its fiscal year 2005 (running from July 1 2004 to the end of June 2005). Key products listed include what's described as a Deus Ex "Action" title, a Commandos "Tactical Shooter" (interesting), the seventh Tomb Raider, and a fourth outing for IO Interactive's Hitman series (rumour is suggesting this could be called Hitman: Blood Money).

Also appearing in the fiscal year 2005 line-up are two brand new properties, 25 to Life and Crash 'n' Burn, as well as Backyard Wrestling 2 and Championship Manager 5. Interestingly, mention is made too of a follow-up to IO Interactive's action game Freedom Fighters, although this isn't listed as a fiscal year 2005 release.

The story goes on to speculate about Warren Spector's possible participation in the design of a console multiplayer action game set in the Deus Ex world.

I though Freedom Fighters was an EA game.... It was published by EA, IO Interactive (Hitman Series) actually developed it. Now that Eidos owns IO, they can do a freedom fighters sequel no problem. EDIT: Although I'd rather they do Hitman 4 before they do Freedom Fighters -DSR This comment was edited on Apr 6, 17:45.
