IO Interactive says Project Fantasy is 'in a very healthy place'

IO announced that it was developing a fantasy RPG in 2023.

As IO Interactive prepares to launch 007 First Light at the end of this month, the studio is also hard at work on Project Fantasy, an online fantasy RPG. In a recent interview, the studio’s boss said that development on the game was coming along well.

IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak was speaking with The Game Business when he was asked about the status of Project Fantasy, which was announced back in 2023. “It is in a very healthy place,” he said, after declining to comment on rumors about the game’s funding partner. “And it’s amazing.”

That was all Abrak had to say about Project Fantasy, which will mark new territory for developer IO Interactive whenever it arrives.

Project Fantasy will be IO Interactive’s first foray into the fantasy genre. As the studio gears up to release its James Bond game this month, you can learn more about the game by watching our mini documentary, The Origins of 007 First Light.
