Project 007 stars a “young Bond for gamers”
Hitman developer IO Interactive has been working on ‘Project 007’ for a long time now and in a new interview, company boss Hakan Abrak has already teased the potential future of this new assignment.
The hopes are that it can become a “big trilogy” in the long run, with IO aiming to craft a story about a “young Bond” that gamers can apparently “call their own and grow” alongside.
“It’s completely beginning and becoming a story, hopefully for a big trilogy out there in the future. And equally important and exciting, it’s a new Bond. It’s a Bond we built from ground up for gamers. It’s extremely exciting with all the tradition and all the history there is there together to work on this together with the family of creating a young Bond for gamers; a Bond that the gamers can call their own and grow with.”
Abrak first mentioned the idea of a trilogy for this new Bond universe back in 2021. As for when we can expect to finally see this project, the boss says the team will have more to share in “due time”.
“I don’t have an update today, but believe me, it’s itching here as well to be talking about it soon. So we are following our plans. The production’s going amazingly well and we will soon be talking more about it… there’s a lot of cool stuff coming up”
Project 007 was announced to the world in 2020, and was described as a “wholly original Bond story” at the time, where players step into the shoes of the famous secret agent in his very first origin tale.
