HITMAN (Destiny)

I absolutely agree with everything you said. Hitman 2016 was amazing and my go-to example of episodic done right.

However . . .

Now, this obviously could have failed horribly


It failed horribly in that apparently no one bought it and Square Enix dropped Io Interactive and now the fate of both Io and Hitman are up in the air.

Except there's zero supporting evidence for this. All reports that it didn't sell "well" are pure speculation, prompted by this sell-off announcement that Squenix made.

And while we're at it, let's not forget that this is the same publisher that considered the Tomb Raider reboot selling 3.4 million in the first month to be a "failure" (and that's before factoring in digital sales).

The Io situation is a desperate bid by Squenix to recover recover from it's own financial mismanagement, not the fault of Hitman not selling well.
