“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.” “Creating 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,” IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said in a prepared statement. Of course, the most notable entry is 1997's GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64, a landmark entry for the first-person shooter genre. The last Bond game to receive positive reviews was 2003's James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, released on the Game Boy Advance, GameCube, PS2, and Xbox. The game was largely panned, save for its multiplayer bits. Project 007 will be the first Bond game since 2012's 007 Legends, released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie, Dr. The Bond game is being developed with IO Interactive's proprietary Glacier game engine technology that has also been used on the three latest Hitman games it has worked on. Both locations are recruiting talent from around the world and you can apply for roles at IO Interactive's careers website.

Project 007 doesn't have a release window, but IO Interactive did say that it is currently in “active development” at IO Interactive's studios in Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden. It will be made for “modern systems and platforms,” that means Project 007 should be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X at the least.

IO Interactive - as developer and publisher - will work with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Bond films producer EON Productions, and video game financier Delphi on Project 007. Hitman developer IO Interactive has announced that it is working on Project 007 (working title) that will feature the very first “wholly original” Bond origin story, with players stepping into his shoes to earn their double-O status. James Bond is coming back to video games.
