After capturing the hearts with the “World of Assassination,” the Hitman creators are embarking on a new adventure called “Project Fantasy”. The Danish video game makers provided a significant update regarding their plans for a new video game title, which will be nothing like the three Hitman games.

IO Interactive wants to expand the staff
The Hitman creators further explained how the range of roles in the Fighting Fantasy novels represented how they wanted to create this upcoming game. They stated, “For some, it meant taking the role of a game master: Part storyteller, part AI opponent, part guide, part villain. For everyone around that table, it meant creativity, imagination, building a world together, and a shared goal in creating a great game experience.”
But to make this new world possible, IO Interactive is also seeking to have many new and diverse groups of people on board. It seems this game is going to be their biggest project so far, even bigger than their successful Hitman franchise.
