Development Update Information for Unreal Engine on IGI Origins
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.

Mission Briefing #3.5 - Bonus AMG Intel
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!

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.
