A supposed teaser trailer for Hitman 5, which leaked onto the net yesterday, has been confirmed by IO Interactive to be a "fan-made flick".
The Hitman developer revealed in a tweet this morning that the trailer, which was uploaded onto a user-created page at GameTrailers last night, is a "pretty cool" fake.
"The 'leaked' Hitman 5 E3 insert whatever other title you want here trailer is a fan-made flick," said IO. "It's pretty cool, though. We like it."
No more Agent 47 for you yet then, boys and girls.
Hitman 5 has been rumoured to be in development for a number of years but IO Interactive and publisher Square Enix are yet to confirm its existence.
IO Interactive is currently developing a sequel to crime-shooter Kane & Lynch which goes on sale this summer.
For what it's worth, the last Hitman game Hitman: Blood Money, which released in 2006, is still one of our all-time favourite games. It's available now on Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
