IO Interactive is taking their esteemed studio into a bold new direction with Project Fantasy, moving beyond the intricacy and stealthy gameplay that defined the world of Hitman. In an interview with Veronique Lallier, the IO Interactive's Chief Development Officer said that Project Fantasy is "a captivating game and doesn't really delve into darker fantasy", and added that, "It's definitely a passion project for us and for our studio."

As anticipation builds up, Lallier admitted that they are not yet in a position to share too much information on Project Fantasy but exclaimed that, "It’s a very enthralling project, very close to my heart." As they bring more talent to the table and proactively hire developers, artists, and animators solely for this venture, it may be fair to say that IO Interactive will be focused on driving the Online RPG genre forward.

There is speculation that the game will be a live service RPG, but the studio has been very tight-lipped about the specifics. Interestingly, Project Fantasy’s Official submitted IP, known under the codename, Project Dragon, is currently listed as an RPG Shooter.

IO Interactive 将从一系列名为 Fighting Fantasy Books 的角色扮演游戏书籍中汲取灵感。该工作室表示,其目标是在 Project Fantasy 中整合分支叙事和一种新的讲故事方法。与通常遵循线性叙事的传统 RPG 不同,IO Interactive 计划实施一个动态故事系统,确保世界以有意义的方式对玩家的选择做出反应,从而使任务和事件围绕玩家的动作展开。

除了创新的讲故事方式外,IO Interactive 还致力于保持良好的社区参与。Lallier 强调了 Hitman 的成功源于倾听玩家社区的意见,并培养一种鼓励成长和创新的积极关系。

The future is still very bright and coupled with IO Interactive’s proven experience in bringing the genre to success, IO Interactive is not only entering the online RPG scene, they are well prepared and ready to redefine the genre. Through innovative storytelling, interactive environments and engagement with the community, Project Fantasy aims to provide players with a unique and engaging experience.
