IO Interactive retains the rights to HITMAN and becomes fully independent

Quoting: GuestWho decides if a game gets ported to Linux? For example, if Feral Interactive wants to port The Witcher 3 to Linux, is it CD Projekt who has the final say?
The publisher or developer (in the case of an independent studio working without a publisher) and the porting studio need to reach an agreement for a game to get ported with terms both parties find acceptable. Ultimately, the party that owns the rights to the game in question (usually the publisher) has the final say. After all, it's their game. So yes, in the example you gave, CD Projekt RED would have the final say.

Those hand-drawn graphics and animations are really good. I never played this game back in the day, so I have no nostalgia, but this does look fun.

This time around, Limbic Entertainment will be developing the game, who previously worked on a Might & Magic title.
It's actually a HoMM game, the title confusion comes from the Ubisoft manipulating with the title ;)
Limbic did both. They were one of several teams that worked on HoMM VI, then they made Might & Magic X: Legacy, then they made HoMM VII.

Color me interested. I really like the idea of battles being played as kind of a sport.

While I'm generally tired of the pixel art trend, I will admit the pixel art shown here is superb. Good luck to them.
