The next iteration of the series is just called Hitman and while it respects its roots, it also breaks new ground in terms of graphics, business model and non-linear gameplay. For many years, BAFTA award winner Jesper Kyd accompanied the Hitman series with his soundtrack compositions. Then, suddenly, Kyd was replaced for Hitman: Absolution by Thomas Bärtschi with additional music written by Peter Kyed, Peter Peter and Dynamedion. At Gamescom 2015, Hannes Seifert, Studio Head of Io-Interactive revealed Niels Bye Nielsen as the new composer for the next Hitman game in an exclusive interview with Nova Crystallis.
