When Hitman Developer IO Interactive James Bond Game (working title Project 007) hits the scene, it will happen with a completely new James Bond, studio head Hakan Abrak said the Danish broadcasting company (h / t The player).
Project 007 will follow James Bond in his early days as a British secret service agent and portray the events that led to his being given the legendary 007 code name. This “completely original” story of how the game came about distinguishes the game from Bond’s most famous screen depictions, in which he is already an established MI6 agent. Therefore, developing a new lead actor makes sense, especially given the already weak franchise relationship with continuity.
James Bond first made his film debut in 1962 Dr., portrayed by Sean Connery. Since then, several actors have taken on the mantle, including George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and most recently Daniel Craig. A Folk theory The reason the character has the potential to look so different from movie to movie is because, like 007 itself, “James Bond” is a code name used by various agents throughout the story and may or may not match the upcoming game Not.
In any case, IO Interactive obviously has high hopes Project 007. The studio opened a second office in Malmo, Sweden, last year and reportedly doubles its total workforce from 200 to over 400 employees. Abrak also stated that IO may already have laid the foundations for a James Bond Trilogy now that HitmanThe “World of Assassination” trilogy has ended. With the first game still a long way off, all future plans remain to be seen.
