“IO Interactive is committed to producing cutting-edge AAA games, as evidenced by its formidable back catalog and success at this year’s E3,” said Joe van den Heuvel, founder and President of CloakWorks.” Shroud will help the team realize its vision for Hitman: Absolution by giving a new level of realism to the graphics.”
