8 Biggest PS5 & Xbox Rumours That MUST Come True
3. Project 007
Even though James Bond has been a staple in cinema since the 1960s, he's been absent from the gaming front for a decade.
That's why it's refreshing to hear IO Interactive's first non-Hitman game in 15 years will be Project 007, which centres around everyone's favourite martini-glugging 00 agent.
Project 007 aims to deliver an original Bond story set in modern times, unaffiliated with Ian Fleming's novels. To ensure it's disconnected from the films, the titular spy won't share a likeness to any actor who's portrayed him.
Although details are far and between, we can expect an espionage adventure, filled with dangerous stunts, shootouts, and luscious locations. Since IO had to double their staff for the game, Project 007 is sure to be massive in scale.
Because little has been revealed over the last three years, it hasn't filled Bond-lovers with much confidence. However, the long production is merely a sign the developers aren't rushing. IO studio director, Hakan Abrak spent two years with the license holders to make sure they're on the same page, so his team can do justice to the beloved property.
And if IO Interactive pull it off, Abrak hopes Project 007 leads to a trilogy.
