Hitman: Se superó el hito del jugador esquivo

Hitman: World of Assassination alcanza los 75 millones de jugadores

IO Interactive anunció con orgullo que Hitman: World of Assassination ha superado la notable cifra de 75 millones de jugadores. Este logro probablemente solidifica su posición como el título más exitoso del estudio hasta la fecha.

Es importante tener en cuenta que "World of Assassination" no es un juego único, sino una recopilación de la última trilogía de Hitman. Tras el lanzamiento de Hitman 3, IO Interactive reunió inteligentemente los tres juegos en un solo paquete (aunque las compras individuales siguieron siendo una opción). Esta trilogía combinada se relanzó para PC y consolas en enero de 2023 y se expandió a Meta Quest 3 en septiembre de 2024.

El 10 de enero, IO Interactive celebró este hito "monumental" en Twitter, destacando la sólida posición financiera del estudio. Si bien no se proporcionó un desglose específico, Hitman 3 probablemente contribuyó significativamente al recuento general de jugadores, dado su sólido desempeño de ventas en mercados como el Reino Unido, superando a sus predecesores.

El impacto de Xbox Game Pass y el paquete de inicio gratuito

El hito de 75 millones de jugadores se atribuye en gran medida a dos factores clave: la presencia de dos años del juego en Xbox Game Pass (que finaliza en enero de 2024) y la disponibilidad de un Starter Pack gratuito desde el lanzamiento de 2021. Las demostraciones gratuitas de las dos primeras entradas de la trilogía también ampliaron el alcance del juego.

El futuro de Hitman: una pausa temporal

Si bien Hitman: World of Assassination continúa recibiendo actualizaciones periódicas (incluidos Elusive Targets), el enfoque actual de IO Interactive está en otra parte. Actualmente, el estudio está desarrollando dos nuevos proyectos: Project 007, un juego de James Bond en desarrollo desde 2020, y Project Fantasy, una nueva IP anunciada en 2023, aventurándose en un escenario fantástico. Esto sugiere una pausa temporal para la franquicia Hitman, al menos en términos de nuevas entregas importantes.

As of now, there is no official confirmation from Forza Motorsport developers or Microsoft Gaming that a shift in development focus from Forza Motorsport to the Horizon series has occurred. However, recent industry discussions and rumors have speculated about changes in development priorities, particularly due to the success and popularity of the Forza Horizon series. The Forza Horizon series, developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios, has consistently drawn strong player engagement and critical acclaim. In contrast, Forza Motorsport (the mainline, simulation-focused series) has seen a more niche but dedicated fanbase. The shift in attention—both in marketing and internal resources—has led to speculation that more development talent and resources might be allocated toward the Horizon series. That said, Turn 10 Studios, the original creators of Forza Motorsport, remains the lead developer for the main Forza Motorsport franchise. In a 2023 interview, Turn 10’s creative director, Dan Greenawalt, reaffirmed the team’s commitment to the core Motorsport experience, emphasizing the upcoming Forza Motorsport (2023) release as a full rebuild of the franchise. In summary: No official announcement confirms a developer team shift from Forza Motorsport to Horizon. Playground Games (Horizon) and Turn 10 (Motorsport) remain separate studios under Xbox Game Studios. Resource allocation and focus may naturally lean toward the more commercially successful Horizon series, but this does not equate to a team relocation or reassignment. Gamers should continue to expect new entries in the Forza Motorsport series, with Turn 10 dedicated to delivering a premium simulation experience. For the latest updates, always refer to official sources like Xbox News, Microsoft Gaming, or developer interviews. Lectura
