The official website for the new project describes it as “a brand new James Bond video game to be developed and published by IO Interactive.
The developers of Hitman seem like a perfect match for the James Bond character, who’s been the subject of several hit video games through the years.
Today, IO Interactive — the Danish video game company behind the Hitman game franchise — announced a brand new Bond game they’re calling Project 007.
The James Bond movie franchise is in a holding pattern right now because of the coronavirus, so it’s a good time for the character to pivot to video games, which are played at home and don’t require an enormous theater full of people and shared air.
