That's longer away than I hoped. I would have expected at least one of them to be further along development. Almost sounds like both could still be in a early design phase and not full steam ahead mode. How many teams do they even have? It's basically Hitman 3 DLCs which should carry the studio through the next couple of years, especially with delays maybe not even 2025. Sounds excessively long since Hitman3 launched a while ago and all three new Hitman were incremental updates, so less heavy lifting in the last years I suppose.

Hitman 3 will be the last entry in the series for awhile.
Still has some content coming out though.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
It'll probably get delayed into 2026.

Seems about right. Hitman 3 was last year I think.

The real news here is Gamepass proving to be making bigger devs money again, the OP got the wrong scoop.
How the hell is this 'development' hell or 'pathetic' for a new IP AAA game to take minimum 4 years to make?
These are truly ignorant takes for an enthusiast gaming forum.

Thats the problem, it shouldnt take this long. How are studios like insomniac able to make Get out new triple a games every year or two, and other studios struggle so much? There is a work flow issue
Insomniac isn't able to make their games in a year or two. They've got parallel teams. They're certainly not making Spiderman 2 in under 3 years. Ditto for Ratchet.
Sucker Punch made Ghost of Tsushima in 6 years. It's taken Sony Santa Monica 4.5 years to make a sequel to God of War. 4+ years for Guerilla to make Horizon Forbidden West, a sequel too.
Are you going to accuse these studios of mismanagement too?
Game development isn't just turning a knob.
Honorable mentions:
Elden Ring - 4 years of development
Final Fantasy XVI - in development since 2016. So 6 years from start to release.

So 2025/2026? I'd say that's about right. Curious about the James Bond project myself...

Isn't this "Project Dragon" game supposed to be a Microsoft funded exclusive?

Yea, fantasy RPG.
IO Interactive may be working with Xbox on an exclusive fantasy RPG, codenamed 'Project Dragon'
More games for the Xbox.

Incredible that few developers actually take the time to make games properly like IOI does.
Games come out a year early in most cases riddle with bugs. Not to say Hitman trilogy was bug free, but it's an immense trilogy.

Damn, between this, Fable, Avowed, and Elder Scrolls, Microsoft has got the fantasy RPG genre on lockdown.

Yeah, like 5 GTA mainline games in 8 years and only 1 in the last 12 years. Current Gen sucks.
