IO Interactive, the developer behind Hitman 3, has just announced the opening of a new studio in Barcelona. This new studio, creatively named IOI Barcelona, is one part of its "ambitious and exciting plans for expansion over the coming years" according to a post on the developer's site.

IOI Barcelona will be joining IO Interactive's two other studios, IOI Copenhagen and IOI Malmö. It will assist these other studios in supporting Hitman 3, which already has extra content on the way. The game's first DLC collection, Seven Deadly Sins, is now available, and its roadmap for April is packed with more new content.

Two other projects will also be tackled by IO Interactive's new Barcelona studio. IOI Barcelona will be joining the developer's two other studios in working on both Project 007, IO Interactive's James Bond title, as well as another unannounced new intellectual property.
