IO Interactive, the Danish developer behind Hitman and Kane & Lynch, has announced layoffs.

“We’re sad that great talent and good friends will be leaving the studio. We are doing everything possible to look after everyone affected. Thank you for your support and understanding.”

The layoffs follow after Square Enix announced its intentions to sell off the studio. Interestingly, German website GameStar reported that IO Interactive was actively looking for new investors, and that Hitman Season 2 was still on its way.
