<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1KUpGGv">Hitman</a> developer IO Interactive has spoken up to clear up some confusion regarding the possibility of a remastered version of 2006&#8217;s stealth game <a href="http://ift.tt/1NOjQXv">Hitman: Blood Money</a>.</p>
<p>After the developer <a href="https://twitter.com/Hitman/status/733573548749377536" rel="nofollow">said to a fan on Twitter</a> that IO has &#8220;considered&#8221; remastering the 10-year-old game, PR manager Sven Liebold said in a new interview with the <a href="http://ift.tt/1s9n3uH" rel="nofollow">Daily Star</a> that the tweet was taken out of context. IO remains committed to supporting the new episodic Hitman, and as such, Blood Money HD is &#8220;not on our radar,&#8221; he explained (<a href="http://ift.tt/1XwwKig" rel="nofollow">via VideoGamer.com</a>).</p>

<p>&#8220;Of course the old developers that worked on Blood Money, they still love the game, they’re very attached to it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But at this moment, we&#8217;re really excited where we are with the new game and we&#8217;re putting all our energy and creativity into creating new stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;As much as I would love Blood Money remastered, I gotta admit, I haven&#8217;t touched it in a while. I&#8217;ve got these fond memories of how it looked and felt to play, but it&#8217;s quite different to the direction we&#8217;re taking the new Hitman game.&#8221;</p>
<p>Liebold didn&#8217;t completely rule out the possibility of Blood Money HD, however.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re always open and always listening to see what we can do,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Maybe something will happen down the line&#8230; but right now, it’s not on our radar.&#8221;</p>
<p>The new Hitman arrived in March. Unlike past games, the new one uses an episodic business model. Chapters 1 and 2 are out now, while<a href="http://ift.tt/1Wiqk7t"> the third&#8211;set in Morocco&#8211;comes out on May 31</a>.</p>
