I wonder if Xbox is still involved or dropped it.

Bit of an odd way to announce it, without even mentioning Xbox's involvement, it would be an easy marketing win for Xbox.

This feels more like a self-published announcement, they could have waited until E3 or something.

At the very least, this does seem to be Project Dragon. When Project Dragon first leaked via Jez nearly 2 years ago, they had some job listings for a Project Dragon on their jobs site. Those are no longer there, they only have listings for Hitman, 007, and Project Fantasy. The details of Project Fantasy meanwhile match the details Jez gave about Project Dragon to a T, so I would assume that Dragon was simply renamed to Project Fantasy. It is odd that Xbox isn't mentioned at all, but this is a recruitment post, the Dragon job listings didn't mention Xbox at all either, but Jez had received evidence that Xbox was publishing Dragon.

It's 100% the same project, all the details match and even the studio doing it match (Barcelona).

I'm looking at other studios though, like the ones which Sony partnered with, they always tend to announce who is funding the project. Nothing like that here though and I don't think it's a case of Microsoft being afraid to announce another early project, a Tweet with just "in partnership with Xbox" would get a lot of Xbox fans excited.
