  • Project 007 will be the first part of a potential trilogy.

IO Interactive’s much-anticipated Project 007 aims to offer a new twist on the classic James Bond franchise. Fans of Bond and the studio known for the Hitman series are in for a delight.

Recently, IO Interactive’s CEO, Hakan Abrak, hinted the game’s development is going well, calling it “a young Bond for gamers.” The CEO also hinted that it could lead to a trilogy.

Why it matters: IO Interactive appears ready to create an exciting James Bond experience that reimagines the character for a new generation of gamers.

Project 007
Spy-action fans highly await Project 007.

Unlike earlier Bond games closely linked to the movies, Project 007 will carve out its own path. IO Interactive confirmed during an interview with IGN that they plan to present a younger, more relatable Bond with a brand-new origin story unrelated to any film.

Project 007 isn’t a gamification of a movie. It’s the beginning of a story, for a big trilogy in the future.

-Hakan Abrak, CEO Io Interactive

Abrak weighed in that Project 007 isn’t a movie adaptation but a character created especially for gamers. The development team has used its experience from the Hitman series to ensure that the game delivers the thrill of espionage.

While it shares some elements with Hitman, Project 007 will focus more on storytelling, showcasing Bond’s journey as an agent. IO Interactive has big plans for Project 007. The game is seen as the first part of a possible trilogy, depending on how well the first game does.

Abrak compared it to the Hitman trilogy and believes they can expand Bond’s story into a bigger universe.

Moreover, the CEO emphasized the importance of collaborating with Eon Productions, who manage the Bond legacy, to keep the game authentic while creating its unique place in the 007 universe.

What’s more interesting is that Project 007 is reportedly going to be a first-person experience, according to a recent job listing. This means the game will offer a much more immersive experience compared to the third-person perspective in the Hitman series.
