Featuring signature gunplay with tactical realism as well as stealth, gadgets, and a focus on narrative, I.G.I. Origins puts the player in the role of a male or female super-spy with MI6. Players will go on a high-stakes thrill ride across the globe in settings with an iconic 80s look and feel, with a do-or-die chance to redeem their reputation as a secret agent—and to save the world.
As a prequel to the beloved games from 2000 and 2003 that were well-known for their stealth action, open maps, and hellish difficulty, the new game will allow fans to explore the origins of some of the characters and organizations from the originals.
