It’s inevitable to think of the Hitman saga every time I read or listen Interactive IO, but starting now and looking to the future, that way of thinking will change. And it’s not because I’m going to forget Hitman, since it’s one of the video game sagas I grew up with, but because its developer is going to take a new direction that I didn’t expect at all.
I must say that I like it when something or someone decides to step out of their comfort zone and bet on a different and innovative idea. In this case, IO Interactive will be the one to take this new path, changing the “world of murders” that we were used to with Hitman, to enter the world of fantasy. A bet with which the developer is quite excited and eager to get started.
The future of IO Interactive
- The developer announced that he was overwhelmed with the development of a new fantasy role-playing game online.
- The positivity and creativity they have in the studio, pushed them to embark on this new adventure.
- This new IP will be created by the many studios that IO Interactive has, starting with those of Copenhagen and Malmö, and even Barcelona.
- Currently he has open job offers to expand the team of developers.
Regarding the new IP
Until now, the developer had not given more details about his new project, but some time ago a user let us know that the developer he would work on Project Dragon. This would fit perfectly with the future new IP since at the time it was mentioned that it could be a multiplayer fantasy game.
In addition to that, they are also working on the 007 project, a new opus of the famous and famous James Bond. Both projects could have their planned release in 2025.
If you want to know more about this fantastic new project the developer is working on, we have no choice but to be patient until new details can be provided. If you think you could be part of their development team, I would take a look at the active job postings.
