IO Interactive's Project 007: A Young Bond Trilogy in the Making
IO Interactive, renowned for the Hitman series, is venturing into the world of 007 with Project 007. This isn't just a single game; CEO Hakan Abrak envisions a trilogy showcasing a younger James Bond, before he became the iconic double-O agent.
This original Bond story, confirmed to be unconnected to any film portrayals, will offer a fresh perspective on the character. Abrak hints at a tone closer to Daniel Craig's portrayal than Roger Moore's.
The game's development is progressing well, according to Abrak, who emphasizes the creation of a "young Bond for gamers," a character players can connect with and watch grow. IO Interactive's expertise in immersive stealth gameplay will likely be a key element, although Abrak acknowledges the challenges of working with such a significant external IP.
While details remain scarce, the game is described as "the ultimate spycraft fantasy," suggesting gadgets and a departure from the purely lethal focus of Agent 47. Early indications point to a third-person action experience with "sandbox storytelling" and advanced AI, hinting at open-ended missions reminiscent of Hitman. However, it's expected to be a more scripted experience than the freeform nature of Hitman.
The release date remains undisclosed, but Abrak's enthusiasm suggests an announcement is forthcoming. Project 007 promises to be a defining moment in James Bond gaming, establishing a universe for players to enjoy for years to come, expanding beyond a single game into a full trilogy.
The anticipation is high for this unique take on the James Bond mythos, a new origin story that aims to redefine the character in the gaming world.
