For many gamers, Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 was a game-changer. This spy-themed shooter created unforgettable memories and late-night battles with friends. After a long hiatus, James Bond games are making a comeback with a new developer at the helm. IO Interactive, known for the acclaimed Hitman trilogy, is working on a new 007 game named Project 007. Although details are scarce, we have compiled everything we know about this highly anticipated title.
Release Date Speculation
Currently in development, Project 007 does not have a set release date. Given typical development timelines, a release in 2026 or 2027 is a reasonable estimate, but we hope for an earlier launch.
Platforms
No platforms have been confirmed, but it is likely to be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC like previous IO games. Given the studio’s independence, there should be no platform exclusivity.
Trailers
The teaser trailer from 2020 features a brief glimpse of Bond’s iconic elements, setting the tone for the upcoming game.
Official information confirms that Project 007 will explore Bond’s origin story, focusing on how he earned his 00 status. This original narrative will not be tied to any existing book or film, providing a fresh take on the iconic spy character.
Gameplay
While gameplay details are scarce, fans hope for a style reminiscent of IO’s Hitman games, offering a seamless fit for Bond’s world. Utilizing Bond’s gadgets in intricate environments akin to Hitman could be a winning formula, although IO may choose a different approach.
