James Bond stories go hand-in-hand with high octane action, and as such, IO Interactive need to make sure that Project 007 strikes the perfect balance between combat and stealth. Over the years, IO Interactive have made a name for themselves as one of the best developers of stealth games thanks to the Hitman series, and while stealth is obviously going to be a key part of a new Bond game (he is a spy, after all), combat is going to be just as important. A James Bond game without a good James Bond will simply fall flat.
IO Interactive have already confirmed that their version of Bond is going to be completely original, and not based on any of the renditions we’ve seen on the big screen over the years- and I’m sure that they’ll be keenly aware of how important it is for them to find someone who can embody that role as confidently and magnetically as possible.
Project 007 might not be a story, but there’s little doubt in anyone’s mind that it’s going to have to abide by that rule as well. If there’s one thing that decades of film history have taught us, it’s that the casting choice for James Bond himself is the single most important thing in any new Bond story. It’s probably going to be a while before we get to see the game in action, much less play it, but here, we’re going to talk about a few things that we think will be crucial for success for Project 007.
Hitman developers IO Interactive have confirmed that they’re working on a new original James Bond game, currently being called Project 007, and the two seem like a perfect fit on paper. That said, it certainly seems like the future looks brighter than the recent past. Though there have certainly been quite a few excellent James Bond video games over the years – including the likes of GoldenEye 007, Nightfire, The World is Not Enough, and Everything or Nothing – by and large, it’s hard to shake the feeling that Bond hasn’t made the kind of mark on games that he has potential to.
