11 Video Games You Won’t Believe Are In Development

8. Project 007

Announced before the studio dropped Hitman 3 last year, IO Interactive are currently hard at work on a James Bond game. Given the working title of Project 007, there was a surprising lack of fanfare around the super spy's return to the world of gaming. Fans got a quick teaser trailer, a blog post, and that was it.

Still, there are some official details out there. The devs revealed that the game will feature a new story rather than adapt any of the original tales and, even more intriguingly, it's being called the "very first James Bond origin story". That's all we've got so far though - it's not even clear what the genre is going to be.

Still, it's exciting because Hitman 3 was essentially an extended pitch for why IO is perfect for this license. Just play that sequel's opening level, with its ingenious infiltration opening, Bond-esque score, incredible views and suave, elite espionage, and you'll know why everyone is so excited for this partnership.
