Given that they’ve already worked on three games featuring an agent executing dangerous missions across the globe, one could argue that no other developer is better suited to take James Bond on. The game will close out the developer’s Hitman trilogy, allowing them plenty of time and resources to work on Project 007. IO Interactive’s other game about a man in the suit killing people, Hitman 3, will be released in 2021. IO Interactive doesn’t necessarily have big shoes to fill, considering the dearth of quality games in the franchise, but one can only hope that they break the pattern at least. Rare’s GoldenEye 007 is by far the most beloved game to come out of the franchise, but it also came out back in 1997 for the Nintendo 64. The last James Bond game to hit shelves was the poorly-received 007 Legends, back in 2012. They also boldly call Project 007, “the very first James Bond origin story.” It looks like the title has only just entered the first phases of development, so don’t expect to see it for some time. On the game’s official website, IO Interactive noted that they’re currently, “recruiting elite talent from around the world,” to join their team and develop the game. Players will also have to, “earn their 00 status,” according to a tweet.

According to the studio, the game will feature a new story about the British spy, focusing on his origins. Hitman developer IO Interactive has announced the existence of Project 007, a brand-new game centered on James Bond. The developers of Hitman are working on a new James Bond game
