Project 007 Story Details Revealed

We now have some of the first story details for Project 007, a brand new James Bond game from IO Interactive, the team responsible for the Hitman series. James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in all of fiction. His voice, his fashion, his memorable lines, and so on all help make him […]

IO Interactive has been hard at work on Project 007 for a number of years, but we know next to nothing about it. Thankfully, a little bit of light was shed in a recent interview with Eurogamer. IO Interactive co-owner Christian Elverdam revealed that the game is an origin story for James Bond, but also seemingly an original version of the character. The developer noted that they wanted to build a Bond that wasn't just mimicking the films, but designed as a gaming hero.

"[...] For us it's been about finding a mutual understanding of 'what is James Bond about?" said Elverdam. "And as we've talked about, we're doing an origin [story], because one thing, to show the trust they've instilled in us, is that we're allowed to build a James Bond for the games [audience], which I think is a profound homage to where our industry is and where the medium is, in the sense that yes, it's time to have a James Bond character who was not a movie character but who's comfortably just his own game character."

I like that they are not going off any of the movie Bonds. I think that will allow them a lot more freedom. I bet there will be plenty of Easter eggs though

I know they're not based on the movies, but that would be so fucking sick, to actually have the player work and earning the "00" codename in MI6, kinda like in the opening credits to Casino Royale.



"00 status confirmed". I would scream on to my TV if this happens in-game and I was able to do it.

Please don't fuck this up. Everything about this game could be ruined if they fuck up the character of Bond.

Seems like a good fit of studio and property. Hope it turns out well. The new Hitman is a series of substance, if they do Bond they're gonna have to balance that with a lot more cinematic style.

Yes and afterward please remove the 007 Bond Tone from Hitman" while your at it.

007 = day one no matter what.

Did you buy 007 legends Day 1?

I do miss the old days of how many good to decent bond games we got and how interestingly different they'd be. Goldeneye and Nightfire and Everything or nothing for example all do their own things.

It's a shame the HD era really dropped the ball on good james bond games which killed the games in general.

It's also a shame classics like Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, From Russia with Love, Goldeneye - Rogue Agent haven't been remastered on modern consoles. That's a lot of people's childhood right there.
