When Hitman IO Interactive developer James Bond game (job title Project 007) arrives on the scene, he will do so with a completely new James Bond, studio head Hakan Abrak he told the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (h / t TheGamer).
Project 007 will follow James Bond in his early days as an agent of the British secret service, portraying the facts that led him to earn the iconic code name 007. This story of “totally original” origin differentiates the game from the most famous representations of Bond on the silver screen, in which it is already an established operative of the MI6, so the development of a new leader makes sense, especially when you take into account the already tenuousness of the franchise. relationship with continuity.
James Bond made his film debut in 1962 Dr. No, portrayed by Sean Connery. Since then, several actors have taken the mantle, including George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and, more recently, Daniel Craig. A popular theory why the character has the potential to look so different from movie to movie is that “James Bond”, like 007 itself, is a code name, used by various agents throughout the story, which may be or not with the next game.
In any case, IO Interactive obviously has high hopes Project 007. The study opened a second office in Malmö, Sweden, last year and is reportedly doubling its total staff from 200 to a staff of more than 400. Abrak also indicated that IO could be laying the groundwork for a James Bond now the trilogy HitmanThe trilogy “The World of Murder” is over. But since the first game is still a long way off, there are still plans to be seen in the future.
