Korean And Australian Rating Boards Leak Hitman: Sniper Assassin
According to both Korean and Australian listings on their online rating boards' websites, the next Hitman is titled Hitman: Sniper Assassin and it's coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Sniper Assassin has not yet officially been announced by developer IO Interactive. The name bears similarities to two of the studio's previous games: Hitman: Sniper for iOS and Android, and Hitman: Sniper Challenge.
The listings don't provide much information outside of the title and platforms.

Our Take
Though these listings were leaked before an announcement was made, it nonetheless strongly suggests that Hitman: Sniper Assassin is the next installment. Still, it's best to take these rumors with a grain of salt until we hear from IO Interactive officially. It's possible that this title has ties to the mobile game Hitman: Sniper since the names are similar.
