IO Interactivethe studio consecrated by the Hitman games, is going to rest agent 47 to focus on the agent 007: have obtained the juicy license from EON and MGM to create a James Bond game.
It is “Project 007“It’s still years away, but IO Interactive, which recently opened a new studio in Istanbul and confirmed a new fantasy game, for after Bond, they have opened up to talk a bit about this project, which remains “top secret.” “.
What they have confirmed is that it will be a brand new james bondcreated from scratch for video games and with nothing to do with what they do in the movies (which in fact, after the departure of Daniel Craig, it is still not known what will happen).
Project 007 will be the James Bond of video games
IO owners Christina Elverdam and Hakan Abrak confirmed that it will be “an origin story.” “To show the trust they have placed in us is that they have allowed us to build a James Bond for gaming audiences, which I think is a profound tribute to the state of our industry and our medium.”
IO is proud to have had the opportunity to make a James Bond who is not a movie character, but is comfortably his own video game character.
This is a fundamental difference to most previous James Bond games, which when not direct adaptations of the Bond films Pierce Brosnan o Daniel CraigThey were original stories but with the appearance of said actors.
The last Bond game was 007 Legends in 2012, starring Daniel Craig, recently released Skyfall, and it was a flop that bankrupted the Eurocom studio. Will this new James Bond of video games be successful? Will there be competition with whoever stars in the next James Bond movie?
