IO Interactive Unveils Project 007: A Young Bond Trilogy

IO Interactive, renowned for the Hitman series, is venturing into the world of James Bond with Project 007. This isn't just a single game; the studio aims to launch a brand-new trilogy, introducing a younger Bond to a new generation of gamers.

Project 007: A Young 007

A Fresh Take on 007

Since its announcement in November 2020, Project 007 has generated significant excitement. IO Interactive's CEO, Hakan Abrak, recently confirmed to IGN that the game is progressing exceptionally well and will feature a Bond before he became 007. This original story, unrelated to any film portrayal, promises a unique gaming experience. Abrak described the project as "extremely exciting" and emphasized the opportunity to create a "young Bond for gamers; a Bond that the gamers can call their own and grow with."

Project 007: Early Development

The studio, known for its immersive stealth mechanics in Hitman, is bringing those skills to bear on this new project. However, Abrak acknowledges the challenge of working with an established IP, stating, "James Bond is a different IP. It’s a huge IP. It’s not our IP…" The ambition is to create a lasting impact on the gaming landscape, a "universe for gamers to own for many years to come."

What We Know About Project 007

  • Story: An original Bond origin story, unrelated to any film iteration, showcasing a younger Bond. While details are scarce, Abrak hinted to Edge Magazine in 2023 that the tone will be closer to Daniel Craig's Bond than Roger Moore's.

  • Gameplay: While specifics remain under wraps, Abrak indicated a more "scripted experience" than Hitman's open-ended gameplay, describing it as "the ultimate spycraft fantasy." Job listings suggest a third-person action experience with "sandbox storytelling" and advanced AI, hinting at dynamic missions.

  • Release Date: No official release date has been announced, but IO Interactive remains optimistic about the project's progress.
