A new James Bond game is in the works at IO Interactive, tentatively called Project 007. Project 007 (which is a working title) is currently in development by the studio behind the beloved Hitman franchise and is apparently IO Interactive's next big release. . IO Interactive shared the news on Twitter with a short trailer that shows no gameplay, but tells us that the story will focus on Bond's origins, which is a "completely original" story made for the game. IO said. Best of all, the trailer gave us a riff on the classic Bond intro sequence we all know and love; Find out below. Get the best Xbox Series X deals before everyone else!

In the rich history of James Bond video games, only a few have stood out. Chief among them, of course, is GoldenEye 007 on the N64 (1997). After that, well, the next best offering was 007 Nightfire on the PS2 that came out in 2002. While those two games were really great, everything that came after that was bitterly disappointing. Is this the moment we're finally going to have a half-decent James Bond game? Perhaps, if IO Interactive decides to keep the multiplayer options like the team deathmatch and all the other brilliantly fun bits of versus. However, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful that this game from Leap could be one of the best spy sims to ever hit our consoles and PCs whenever it releases. Depending on how much you value Hitman games, you'll either be happy or a little indifferent that IO Interactive is taking the lead on this new project, since it's apparently moving away from the Hitman franchise. At this time, there is no information about the game other than what is in the above Tweet, which reads: "Project 007 (working title) is a new James Bond video game with a completely original story. Get your 00 status on the first James Bond origin story, to be developed and published by IO Interactive." We can probably expect to see this game released on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC right now, but we definitely won't know until we get more information over time.
