Longtime Hitman developer IO Interactive has announced an aptly named new fantasy RPG’fantastic project‘ for now, as the team ramps up its hiring process to make the game. Although this is being treated as a brand new game announcement (albeit in very early form), some are starting to speculate this is what was once known as “Project Dragon”, an Xbox exclusive.

In 2021, Windows Central reported that the Danish developer was building a new internal team to “codename Project Dragon”, a game that the outlet said “could be associated with Xbox”. It was all pretty vague at the time, but yes, WC sources have claimed that IO and Xbox were in talks about the exclusivity of this project.

This game was ultimately never announced, but fast forwards to around two years and the same developer. To announced a project that looks a lot like those old reports. Is ‘Project Fantasy’ the same as ‘Project Dragon’? As of now, we don’t know and may never know, given that the reported old Xbox project has never been officially revealed.

Anyway, Project Fantasy It’s true, with developer IO interactive “building a new world, a new IP: an online fantasy RPG. A world and game built from the core to entertain players and thrive for many years to come.”

We are embarking on a new adventure! One that expands our creativity, our abilities and, in a sense, our identity. We are building a new world, a new IP: an online fantasy RPG. A world and game built from the core. to entertain players and develop for many years to come. It sounds familiar, but at the same time, IOI is embarking on a journey unlike any we’ve been on before.”
