![]() ![]() ![]() "And as we've talked about," he added, "we're doing an origin, because one thing, to show the trust they've instilled in us, is that we're allowed to build a James Bond for the games, which I think is a profound homage to where our industry is and where the medium is, in the sense that yes, it's time to have a James Bond character who was not a movie character but who's comfortably just his own game character. So for us it's been about finding a mutual understanding of 'what is James Bond about?' "And obviously for them, that is their role in the Bond franchise. (Did you ever see the Hitman film with Timothy Olyphant? Right.) "It's odd because from my perspective, I've been used to defending Agent 47 people want to do things with our franchise and you feel that stewardship." "First of all, it's extremely awe-inspiring and literally just inspiring to work with the team at Eon, the people who are behind everything Bond," he said. "I think we can say a few things." Elverdam began. I had a chance to talk to IO co-owners Christian Elverdam and Hakan Abrak recently, though, so I thought I'd ask and see if there was anything more they could say. It was announced two years ago and IO hasn't said anything since. If you didn't know, IO is making a James Bond game and it's called Project 007. Stay tuned to Shacknews as we await further details and information about Project 007, what it is, and how it will play.As word arrives that the Hitman series is on "hiatus", in terms of developing new games, IO Interactive's attention turns to James Bond instead. James Bond fans need a win in the long drought of good 007 games. It seems unlikely that IO would create something too redundant that its core franchise would simply overshadow. ![]() It’s also worth noting that while concerns that this could be a little too much like Hitman, IO Interactive is also currently putting together Hitman 3 for PS5 in January 2021. There was also seemingly the sound of crunching snow at the beginning of the video that seems to indicate a frosty cold area. That said, we don’t know much about Project 007, having received little more than the barrel of the gun and the music. The team has done stellar work in the modern reworking of Hitman and given players plenty to love in the form of stealth action, assassination, and use of clever gadgetry to get missions done. Even so, if anyone was going to do this type of game, IO Interactive has earned the right. The iconic spy film franchise hasn’t had much in the way of notable success, and most certainly nothing on the level of Rare’s GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64. With IO Interactive having teased the reveal of an all-new project just a day before, it’s likely nobody expected a James Bond game coming out of this. ![]() You can see the trailer for yourself just below. It was a short teaser, but IO Interactive took us into the barrel of a gun, reminiscent of the starting sequence popular in many 007 movies before we finally got the current working title of Project 007. IO Interactive revealed the teaser for Project 007 on its YouTube channel on November 19, 2020. What does that mean? It means IO Interactive is working on an all-new James Bond game, currently known as Project 007. IO Interactive recently teased that it would be revealing its next all-new project today, and when the time came and the trailer finally dropped, we were treated to an iconic view down the barrel of a gun. ![]()
