IO Interactive, acclaimed developers of the Hitman franchise, are embarking on an exciting new journey with their upcoming title, Project Fantasy. Dive deeper to discover how IO Interactive is reimagining the online RPG experience.
Breaking away from the signature stealth gameplay of Hitman, IO Interactive is charting new territory with Project Fantasy. In an interview, Chief Development Officer Veronique Lallier described the project as "a vibrant, lighter fantasy experience that reflects our studio's creative passions."
While details remain scarce, Lallier confirmed this represents a heartfelt undertaking for the studio. Currently expanding their team with dedicated developers and artists specifically for this project, IO Interactive appears committed to pushing boundaries in the RPG space.
Though officially registered under the codename Project Dragon as an RPG shooter, the exact nature of this live service title remains shrouded in mystery.
The studio cites the legendary Fighting Fantasy gamebooks as inspiration for Project Fantasy's narrative design. Moving beyond traditional linear storytelling, IO Interactive promises dynamic world systems where player choices meaningfully shape their adventure.
Emphasizing community engagement as crucial to Hitman's success, the team plans to maintain this player-focused approach. Lallier highlights their commitment to fostering collaborative relationships that drive innovation.
With their track record of genre-defining work, IO Interactive isn't just entering the online RPG market - they're preparing to reshape it. Through groundbreaking storytelling systems and immersive player interaction, Project Fantasy aims to deliver a truly unique gaming experience.
