Gamers will once again witness the gaming industry's big event, as Paris Games Week is said to run from October 28 to November 1. In line with the occasion, IO-Interactive reportedly announced that the new "Hitman" trailer will be released during the show. In addition, reports suggest that the video game company wants the community to influence the game's development.

According to Twinfinite, along with the start of Paris Games Week, the Danish video game development company IO-Interactive will unveil the official trailer to the forthcoming game "Hitman." It will reportedly be showcased on October 28, the day the said event begins. But fans who won't be able to attend the gathering will have the chance to catch the trailer first via an hour "Hitman" livestream, which the company will be running on Twitch.

It is worth noting that a month ago, the new "Hitman" game from IO-Interactive and Square Enix has reportedly been delayed, being movedc to a 2016 release. Rumors have it that IO-Interactive wants to have the best launching experience possible, while the consistent updates took part in the delay.

Meanwhile, PlayStationLifeStyle reported that "Hitman" was already revealed prior to the official announcement of its trailer. However, the revelation was allegedly for a selected number of people only. In fact, in a press release, IO-Interactive admitted that prior to announcing "Hitman" to the world, "a small group of super fans were the very first people outside of IO-Interactive to see and play the game." It is believed that there were nine "super fans" invited to the company's offices last May 2015, so as to test "Hitman" out.

Gameranx, on the other hand, mentioned about how much IO-Interactive wants the community to influence the new "Hitman" game. The video game company reportedly expressed the importance of the fan base in the development of the next installment of the franchise, which will continuously receive new content updates after its initial release.

If fans want to see firsthand the new "Hitman" trailer, they better be at the Paris Games Week. If not, they have March 11, 2016 to wait and, from there, the game should readily be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
