GameSpot has a correction from Square Enix saying the upcoming Hitman game has not been cancelled, contrary to a report that emerged today. The publisher clarifies that a AAA Hitman is still in the works at IO Interactive separate from the mobile game being developed by Square Enix Montreal:

"There's a bit of confusion around the Hitman projects currently in development at Square Enix-owned studios and so we wanted to take the time to clarify what each studio is working on to clear up some of this confusion. Io-Interactive is developing a new, AAA Hitman game that will be coming to PC and next-gen consoles and Square Enix Montreal is fully focused on mobile development of games some of which are related to the Hitman franchise," the representative said. "We look forward to sharing more details about these titles later this year."
