IO Interactive are hiring staff for what they are calling "the most exciting project" in the developer's history.

In a job posting on IO Interactive's website is for a Lead Artist with an immense amount of experience in the games and interestingly enough a fine art background.

The advert reads: "We are looking for an exceptional candidate to join our team as Lead Character Artist to complete one of the most exciting projects in IO Interactive's more than 10 year history in video games and play a major part in the games we have in the future pipeline."

Quite what this project is is still a mystery though. They are rumoured to have Hitman 5 in although they are remaining tight lipped on the future of the series. There was also talk of them working on a new IP exclusive to the but it was rumoured to have been canned last year during a round of cost-cutting measures.
