Xbox Pulls the Plug on IO Interactive's Mysterious 'Project Fantasy' RPG
Microsoft’s Xbox division has reportedly withdrawn from its partnership with IO Interactive to fund and publish the upcoming title codenamed 'Project Fantasy.' Known for the Hitman series and the forthcoming James Bond game, IO Interactive was developing this online fantasy RPG as an Xbox ecosystem exclusive. The decision comes as Microsoft undergoes a broader re-evaluation of its gaming investments and studio strategies, leaving the developer to seek alternative publishing routes for the ambitious new IP.
