IO Interactive may be known for the bald and stoic Agent 47 from its Hitman franchise, but a report from Windows Central indicates that it may exist working on a new fantasy-themed RPG that's currently beingness referred to as Project Dragon. Jez Corden of Windows Central says he received information relaying that IO Interactive and Microsoft have been discussing the project, and a job listing that's since been filled or taken downward from IO Interactive'southward careers website lists a new, unannounced triple-A projection being worked on by a department called Dragon.

Xbox has been on a spending spree lately, with recent purchases including ZeniMax Media and Bethesda Softworks earlier this year, so the idea of funding and developing a big-upkeep triple-A game with IO Interactive is not a far cry from reality

Whatever the game ends upwards existence, and whether Microsoft is involved or not, it's something worth keeping an eye on. IO Interactive has a history of developing well-received games, from Hitman: Blood Money to Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days to the recent Hitman trilogy that ended earlier this year. Between Projection Dragon and IO's James Bond game Project 007, information technology looks like the company is set for an interesting future ahead.
