From everyone at AntiMatter Games, we would like to express our gratitude at the huge and positive response to our first gameplay reveal. It’s been incredible and humbling to read your reactions to our work so far and we are immensely thankful for your support. As the year draws to a close, we wanted to share with you some more glimpses of the world of I.G.I. we are creating and give you a taster... of what is to come.

Season’s Greetings from AntiMatter Games! We hope you enjoy this video :-)

We’re really excited to reveal the first official glimpses of gameplay from I.G.I. Origins, and we’re looking forward to sharing more details as we get closer to release!

At AntiMatter Games, we are fully committed to bringing the best game experiences for our players. As part of this initiative, our team has been hard at work and is delighted to share updates on our current projects.

First, we are thrilled to announce that we have moved to Unreal Engine 5! We are confident that the update to the new, superior engine will make a significant impact on our games and ensure we deliver on our promise.

With that goal in mind, we will be shifting gears and focusing our development efforts on ensuring we create the best game experience for IGI: Origins. The game has received overwhelming support from our community thus far, and we can’t wait to share more. In the meantime, we will continue to provide regular development updates via Mission Briefings on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/AntiMatterGamesUK.

Lastly, as we concentrate our efforts on making IGI: Origins everything it can be, we will be pausing development of ’83 for the duration. We believe that bringing the full team together will allow us to set the quality bar for IGI even higher.

Our team is extremely excited about the possibilities the latest engine technology can have for our games, and we look forward to sharing more about our development progress in the coming months.

Rich Barham, CEO AntiMatter Games

Greetings Agents!

In this update we take you behind the scenes and talk about how player agency is really at the heart of the game design for I.G.I. Origins, while also giving you a sneak peek at some of our concept art pieces along the way.

We’re releasing this video to celebrate the anniversary release of I.G.I. 2: Covert Strike back in 2003.
Happy I.G.I.-versary Agents!

Gear up, and we’ll see you again soon for our next mission briefing.

Greetings agents!

We’re CELEBRATING the 21st Anniversary of Project I.G.I. with a special new mission briefing for you!

Game Director & Managing Director at AntiMatter Games, Rich Barham, Producer Adam Walenkiewicz & Cinematics & Video Lead, Richard Dawson, are back! Their mission? To delve into the solitary world of being a lone agent.

In this update the team takes you behind the scenes to show some of the steps taken to ensure I.G.I. Origins delivers the authenticity, pressure & nail-biting tension you would expect from operating alone behind enemy lines. Take a look at the video now and enjoy your sneak peek into the making of the game:

PLUS as it is the anniversary, we also wanted to give a shout out to Kim Jensen, the composer for the first two games. Kim kindly made a surprise appearance in our last video to talk about his experiences of working on Project I.G.I. & I.G.I. 2: Covert Strike, after you, the fans, told us how much the atmosphere from the sound design has stayed with you for these past 21 years. If you haven’t already seen the video you can see Kim here, roughly 3 minutes in:

The whole team at AntiMatter Games are so motivated by your continued support both for the original games and everything we’ve shown you of I.G.I Origins so far. Thank you!
Happy I.G.I.-versary Agents!

Gear up, and we’ll see you again soon for our next mission briefing.

Hi Agents,

For those who have been following the videos about our team at AntiMatter Games & their favourite moments from the original I.G.I. games, we have a new video, but this time the spotlight is firmly on YOU!

This latest video shows the Top 10 Moments as voted by the fans, with a very special guest appearance to celebrate #1!

We’ll be back for I.G.I.’s 21st Anniversary, until then – Gear Up!

Greetings Agents,

Those of you monitoring our social channels will have seen the Bonus Intel we have been posting over the past couple of weeks, revealing deeper information about the team members who featured in Mission Briefing #3.

In case you missed them, we’ve gathered them all here - so dive in to hear more about what they enjoyed in the original games & their goals for I.G.I. Origins.

Strategy & choices are some of Lead Game Designer, Luca’s favourite aspects of the original I.G.I. games, ensuring they will also be standout qualities of I.G.I. Origins. His best moment from Project I.G.I. was mentioned by so many of you that it just may be the ultimate fan favourite too!

Mike is a Technical Designer on I.G.I. Origins & judging from your comments, you will definitely relate to the satisfaction he gains from playing as a Lone Wolf, outsmarting the A.I. and when needed, mercilessly taking them out. See if you have also used Mike’s favourite tactic from Project I.G.I.

As a Writer for I.G.I. Origins, Aymie’s interest in games with deep, credible narrative & ambiguous characters who may not be as trustworthy as you think, make her the perfect person to craft the game’s twisting story!

Richard will bring back great memories with his shout out at the start of this video! As the Lead Cinematics & Video Artist for I.G.I. Origins, his appreciation for the deep atmosphere in the original games will guarantee a dark and unsettling tension permeates I.G.I. Origins.

Producer, Adam’s summary of the original I.G.I. games’ magic ingredients will resonate with many of you as will the moment he finds the most gratifying! This is someone who knows what’s needed to create a winning game formula!

And I’m Rich Barham, Managing Director at AntiMatter Games and Game Director for I.G.I. Origins. I’m also a great fan of the original I.G.I. games.

It was important to me that you met some of the team who are hard at work developing I.G.I. Origins - and you’ll be seeing a lot more of them as we head towards launch.

We’ve been overwhelmed by your response to our Mission Briefings so far. In our next video we’ll be looking at YOUR favourite moments as told to us by you. So agents, gear up & we’ll see you next time.

Best,
Rich

Hi Agents!

Last month in the first of our updates, we mentioned how we had taken a deep dive into the responses from the I.G.I. Fan Survey, to understand what you wanted from a new I.G.I. game.

The feedback we gained from you was immensely valuable and as it is helping us to shape the game, we wanted to share some of the highlights with you. A huge thank you to everyone who took part! You probably recognise yourself in some of these answers, we certainly saw ourselves!

We also wanted to take this opportunity to answer some of the frequently asked questions we have been receiving from you!

1. What is the release date for the game?

We know you are eager to know exactly when you can play I.G.I. Origins, and we're eager to get it into your hands! Right now, we can confirm the game is going to be released in 2022, when we are ready to announce the exact release date, you will be the first to know!

2. What platforms will I.G.I. Origins release on?

I.G.I Origins is a single player experience.

5. Will there be a remaster of the original games?

The publishing rights for Project I.G.I. & I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike are retained by their original publishers so we are unable to remaster these games.

We’ll have more video updates for you over the coming months to give you a deeper insight into the characters being developed for I.G.I. Origins. Stay tuned!

7. Will AntiMatter Games be working with Kim Jensen for this game?

Good question! We are also big fans of Kim Jensen & his work! The audio is incredibly important for building tension in the game, and we can’t wait to share our plans for this.

8. What game engine is being used?

I.G.I. Origins is being developed using Unreal Engine 4.

9. Will a beta version of the game be released?

We’ll be sharing more specific info about the game as we get closer to launch.

10. Will there be Easter Eggs in the game?

Couldn’t possibly answer this! It’s meant to be a surprise! Although it might be worth checking out our Update videos to see if there is anything there...

If you have any other questions or feedback please let us know here or on I.G.I. Origin's official Facebook[www.facebook.com], Twitter or Discord channel[discord.com], we will do our best to answer as much as we can. Sometimes it’s not possible to confirm the exact information you want, but this way we learn what is important to you & know what details to share as soon as we can!
