IGI: Origins has an official gameplay trailer that has been released by AntiMatter Games. The new footage of the first person shooter shows that stealth will be a key part of the gameplay, with the main character sneaking into enemy territory and taking out guards one by one. Of course, there are also parts where gun battles take place between the character and enemy soldiers.
IGI: Origins was first announced back in 2019 with an expected release window of 2021, however that did not happen. Earlier this year, AntiMatter Games confirmed it had switched to using Unreal Engine 5 for IGI: Origins, but a release date still remains elusive. The game itself is a prequel to the 2000 game Project I.G.I which was developed by Innerloop Studios and published by Eidos Montreal.
The story outline for IGI: Origins says, “You are Michael King, codenamed Regent, an ex-SAS soldier, recruited by MI6 for covert, global missions to target an enemy with a world war in their sights. Armed with a sophisticated arsenal to divert, outsmart or wipe-out your adversaries, decide your approach; ghost-like espionage or heavy firefights. Twisted actions raise questions over the true enemy and harden your resolve against a shifting, hostile world.”
When the game was originally announced it was stated that it would be heading to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, the current trailer only lists the game for Steam.
