IO Interactive Unveils Project 007: A Young Bond Trilogy
IO Interactive, renowned for the Hitman series, is developing Project 007, a new James Bond game. This isn't just a single title; CEO Hakan Abrak envisions a trilogy, introducing a younger Bond before his 00 status.
A Fresh Take on Bond
The game will feature an original storyline, unrelated to any film portrayal. Abrak hinted to IGN that the tone will be closer to Daniel Craig's Bond than Roger Moore's. This younger Bond offers a fresh perspective, allowing players to experience his journey to becoming the iconic spy.
Abrak emphasized IO Interactive's two-decade preparation, leveraging their expertise in immersive, stealth-based gameplay from the Hitman franchise. However, he acknowledged the challenge of working with an established IP like James Bond, aiming to create a lasting impact on the gaming world.
What We Know So Far
- Story: An original Bond origin story, charting his rise to 00 status. No connection to film actors.
- Gameplay: While details are scarce, Abrak suggested a more scripted experience than Hitman's open-ended style, focusing on "spycraft fantasy" with gadgets. Job listings hint at sandbox storytelling and advanced AI. A third-person perspective is anticipated.
- Release Date: No official date announced, but IO Interactive is confident in the game's progress and promises future updates.
Project 007 promises a thrilling new chapter in the James Bond saga, aiming to establish a captivating trilogy for a new generation of gamers.
