IO Interactive, the developer recognized for the long-running Hitman franchise, is working on a new game within the fantasy RPG style it says it can “develop for a few years to return.”
The title, codenamed “Challenge Fantasy,” received’t have something to do with the Hitman franchise (though it might be hilarious to see Agent 47 wielding a bow and arrow on horseback). In its announcement, IO Interactive shared a picture displaying three World of Warcraft-esque characters looking right into a sprawling panorama and says the group takes inspiration from roleplaying books and tabletop video games.
“This concept – {that a} numerous group of people with completely different abilities and strengths can work collectively and turn into greater than the sum of their components — is what conjures up us,” IO Interactive writes. “It conjures up the fantasy world we’re constructing — and it conjures up how we construct it.”
Other than that, we don’t actually know what to anticipate when it comes to gameplay or plot, but it surely appears to corroborate rumors in regards to the “Challenge Dragon” recreation Windows Central first reported on in 2021. On the time, the outlet described the upcoming recreation as a “connected-world RPG, set in a completely new universe” that it’s doubtlessly engaged on with Microsoft.
