IO Interactive has revealed the first details of their upcoming unannounced game, code-named “fantasy project“.
It’s a brand new console and PC IP, and the team at IO Interactive is currently hiring for positions to help shape the project, which it says will “revolutionize the online fantasy RPG genre.”
This could very well be the fantasy game rumored to be in development in 2021. It is said to take place in a medieval setting, feature dragons, and be set in an expansive world. According to reports, the game will be published by Microsoft.
“We are embarking on a new adventure. It can expand our creativity, our capabilities, and in a sense who we are,” the company said. “We are building a new world, a new IP. A New worlds and a game built from the core to entertain players and expand for many years to come. It feels familiar, but at the same time IOI is on a journey like no other we’ve been on before.”
While it might seem odd that a company known primarily for the Hitman series is developing a fantasy game, the love for the genre is “very personal” and “long before” IO Interactive started making games. Already started.
According to the company, the love of fantasy stems from a selection of adventure books such as fantasy fighting, as well as a love of board games. These experiences inspired the new world that IO was building.
The company now spans a number of different studios in Copenhagen, Malmö and Barcelona. All studios are involved in making their games, including this new venture.
The company is currently hiring for various positions to complement the Project Fantasy team. If you are interested in applying, you can find the job description through the official website.
