Last week brought the news that Xbox had dropped their support for Project Fantasy the, er, fantasy project in development at IO Interactive. The Hitman maker announced they would remain "100% committed" to the game, and ensure "This wonderful universe will see the light of day", but they also acknowledged that there would need to be layoffs.
