IO Interactive, the studio behind the renowned Hitman series and the upcoming 007 First Light, is reportedly facing an imminent round of staff reductions. This challenging news emerges after the developer announced the conclusion of its collaboration with an external partner for the unrevealed “Project Fantasy.”
The studio had previously been working with this partner on Project Fantasy, a title yet to be formally unveiled to the public. The unexpected termination of this key external relationship has led to the current situation, with job losses now anticipated within the company. IO Interactive communicated this update through its own channels earlier today. This report is based on information initially shared by Rock Paper Shotgun.
