A British actor listing voice and mo-cap work for Hitman 5 through U.K. dev Rocksteady sent around the buzz that series developer IO Interactive might be off the case. Not so, says Eidos chief Ian Livingstone.

Preyās World Gaming Magazine spoke to Livingstone at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, and he shot down the rumor.
This is the first Iāve heard about it. Hitman always has been and always will be IO Interactiveās baby, which it still continues to be so. Rocksteady are not involved with the development of Hitman 5.
Sounds pretty definitive. Speculation had it that the actor was simply working through Rocksteadyās studio, located in London, rather than go all the way to IO Interactive in Denmark. But ānot involvedā means what it says, and at any rate, we can expect that IO Interactive is in charge of the scene.
