IO Interactive, the developer of the Hitman series, has shared some exciting details about their upcoming James Bond game. Project 007, which was first announced three years ago, will be a comprehensive Bond game that aims to create an origin story for the character. Unlike previous Bond games that were based on the films or books, Project 007 will feature a brand new story and a new 007. The game has the full backing of MGM and will be developed and published by IO Interactive. According to Hakan Abrak, CEO and co-owner of IO Interactive, they have been allowed to create their own “digital Bond” that will not be based on any of the actors who have played the role in the films.
Abrak expressed his excitement about the gamification of the famous film series, stating that it was his responsibility to create a comprehensive Bond game. He also mentioned that their desire to make a James Bond game dates back to 2013, when they re-edited Hitman for the first time. The aim of Project 007 is to create a game that can stand on its own, just like the Hitman series, and not just make use of the Bond name.
Details about the game are still scarce, and the release date is currently unknown. However, IO Interactive cited “long production phases” on its upcoming games in a recent annual report, which suggests that Project 007 could be at least three years away. The game will be a third-person action game that will be “wholly original.” IO Interactive is currently looking for individuals with “experience working with third-person action games” to work on the upcoming Bond game.
The only teaser trailer for Project 007 so far shows a bullet being loaded into a chamber of a gun, with Monty Norman’s iconic Bond theme slowly building up and eventually soaring as we see another Bond mainstay: the gun barrel sequence. Then, a shot is fired, and the screen turns red, leaving “Project 007” at its center. Although the teaser trailer does not reveal much, it is enough to whet our appetite, and fans are eagerly waiting for more information.
In conclusion, Project 007 is an exciting new Bond game that promises to offer a comprehensive origin story for the character. With the full backing of MGM and the expertise of IO Interactive, fans are eagerly waiting to see what the game has to offer. Although details about the game are scarce, the teaser trailer and job listing suggest that it will be a third-person action game that will be “wholly original.”
