Hitman 3<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like IO Interactive’s mysterious third project is one it’s working on for Xbox.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

IO Interactive<\/strong> is working on a new project to be published by Microsoft for Xbox<\/strong>. That’s according to a Windows Central<\/a> report, which has been corroborated by Eurogamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

The original report states that the game is very early in development, and that it’s a fantasy IP. It’s going to take place in a medieval setting, and feature dragons. Sources told Eurogamer that the project is “AAA in scope” and will be set in a large world. Little else is known about this game.<\/p>\n

IO Interactive has been pretty open about the studio’s expansion thus far. Alongside the successful Hitman series<\/a>, IO is working on an original 007 James Bond game<\/a>, which the studio hopes will turn into a trilogy<\/a>. Then there’s the third IP IO never really talked about, which we now know to be this fantasy game for Xbox.<\/p>\n

Given how early in development reports suggest it is, don’t expect to hear about it officially for a while. Nevertheless, it’s going to be published by Xbox Game Studios, alongside other projects Microsoft is also working on with other third-party developers.<\/p>\n
