Hitman Dev Discuss GTA 6 Delay, Future First Light on Switch 2, and IOI's Unannounced Fantasy Game

{'text': "In a recent interview with popular gaming media outlet IGN, IO Interactive's Head of Studio Tore Garsdal discussed the ongoing development of the upcoming fantasy open-world game from IOI, the latest regarding Grand Theft Auto VI's much-talked-about delay, and IOI's future plans for their first-person light-based game on Nintendo's highly-anticipated Switch 2.\n \nGarsdal began by clarifying some rumors surrounding the fantasy game, stating that it's not an action-oriented game, but rather an open-world adventure game similar to what we've seen in the company's past titles like Hitman and IO Interactive's first unannounced game, Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds.\n \nRegarding Grand Theft Auto VI, which has seen its fair share of delays and speculations recently, Mr. Garsdal was tight-lipped about the situation, however, he did express that he believes a significant amount of time will need to pass before the highly-anticipated title from Rockstar Games might be released.\n\nFinally, Mr. Garsdal shared the latest IOI and Nintendo partnership regarding the game that uses artificial lighting, which has gained massive attention for its unique light-sensitive mechanics in various video game environments. When the Nintendo Switch 2 is released in the next few years, the highly-anticipated game will make its way to this powerful handheld gaming console.\n\nFans of IOI have been very anxious to know where they will take the unique gameplay mechanics and what kind of gameplay to expect. According to Garsdal, the Nintendo Switch 2 provides an incredible gaming experience, which makes it easier for them to port their games from PC to the new handheld console.\nIO Interactive's first-person game uses light in some unique and innovative ways, such as light-sensitive character development and the ability to utilize ambient lighting to create immersive environments.", 'images': ['hitman_screenshot.jpg', 'gta6_concept_art.jpg']}
