James Bond will soon get his first video game in five years, courtesy of the makers of the popular Hitman franchise – IO Interactive
The developers are working with MGM, EON Productions and Delphi on Project 007 – and it will feature an entirely original James Bond story.
The game is currently taking place in Copenhagen, and is set to be made for modern platforms. It will be powered by the company’s Glacier technology.
“Creating an original Bond game is a monumental undertaking,” said IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak.
“Our passionate team is excited to unleash their creativity into the iconic James Bond universe and craft the most ambitious game in the history of our studio.”
IO Interactive are highly celebrated for their Hitman series, in which you play Agent 42 – a super spy come hitman. Hitman 3 is set to arrive on next-generation consoles next year.
So far, the year 2020 has not been a good one for James Bond fans. No Time to Die has faced a number of delays due to the pandemic. It is now set to arrive early in 2021.
