I'm pretty sure Io Interactive own the IP, otherwise every article I've read about it is just purposely vague.

I don't think the articles are purposely vague, they are vague because Square in general has been vague about this whole deal.

I'm not really sure why Square Enix wouldn't allow them to use the IP now, if they let them use the IP without Square getting any of the profits in the first place. That's already exceedingly generous, and I don't see why Hitman 3 being a Xbox/PC exclusive would suddenly ruffle Square's feathers. Most people don't even think they own Hitman anymore, no egg would be on their face. Besides, this is the same company that allowed their biggest Western franchise to be a console exclusive for a year.
