IO Interactive, the renowned Danish game development studio behind the Hitman series, has announced a round of layoffs. This move comes as a result of the termination of its collaboration on Project Fantasy, a title that was long rumored to be published by Microsoft.

The studio had been riding high following the successful release of 007 First Light, but the end of this project has forced the company to restructure and reduce its workforce. In a statement released on social media, IO Interactive confirmed the 'downbeat news' and expressed its appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the affected employees.
