A new film, No Time to Die, hits theatres April 2, 2021. Since then, it’s all been quiet on the gaming front.
PROJECT 007 IO INTERACTIVE LICENSE
Activision acquired the license during the late 2000s, but ultimately lost it in 2013 following the release of the critically maligned 007 Legends. EA got their hands on the license during the early 2000s and managed to develop hits like Nightfire and Everything or Nothing. Rare’s Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64 is often considered one of the finest fps games at the time. James Bond has a long, mixed history with video games.
PROJECT 007 IO INTERACTIVE PC
No word on platforms yet, but it’ll likely launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for sure. Players will earn their 00 status throughout the game. The famous MI6 agent returns to the world of video games in Project 007, an original Bond story that tell’s the spy’s origin story.
Hitman developer is bringing James Bond out of retirement. I want to be excited for Project 007, but I’m tempering my expectations significantly.IO Interactive today announced Project 007, a new game starring everyone’s favorite spy. Considering his recent passing, it would be nice if they styled Bond to look and sound like Sean Connery, kind of like that From Russia With Love game from the early 2000s (albeit without him doing the voice, of course), but I don’t see that happening they couldn’t even make him look like the old characters in 007 Legends, despite how cool that would have been. I also hope the James Bond in Project 007 doesn’t look like Daniel Craig, but I’m sure that’s where they’ll go. Bond isn’t fun when he’s not Bond he’s fun because he’s Bond, and we want to see – or play, as the case may be – him doing Bondian things. I’m so beyond tired of endless origin stories, especially for characters that don’t need them. If the whole game is going to be about Bond “becoming” Bond (something with which the current movies are obsessed), I’m going to be very lukewarm to it. The movies and the books both showed us this, and both times, it was in Casino Royale. The notion of Project 007 being an origin story and that it will be the first time we see how Bond became a 00 agent annoys me because it indicates that the people behind this don’t know much about the character.
I like the idea of a James Bond game in the style of Hitman, where espionage is focused on harder than in the typical first-person shooter Bond game. A teaser trailer was also released, which you can see below: There is no release date for Project 007 yet, nor is there word on which platforms it will be available. 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 CEO Hakan Abrak released this statement:Ĭreating an original Bond game is a monumental undertaking and I truly believe that IO Interactive, working closely with our creative partners at EON and MGM, can deliver something extremely special for our players and communities. According to the official website, Project 007 will have “a wholly original Bond story” where players will “earn their 00 status in the very first James Bond origin story.” (My eyes are already rolling.) IO Interactive is joining with EON Productions, who make the Bond movies, to produce the game. IO Interactive, the company behind the Hitman video game series, has announced that their next endeavor – after Hitman 3, coming Janu– will be a James Bond game, which they’re tentatively calling Project 007. Next-generation gaming consoles are about to be shaken, not stirred.
