Hitman developer IO Interactive is keeping busy. In addition to a fantasy new IP, the studio is developing Project 007, which is the working title for its new James Bond game.
Announced in November 2020, Project 007 tells an origin story for James Bond. We haven’t seen any footage yet, but we’ve still learned a fair amount about the upcoming game. Read on to learn everything we know so far about Project 007, including plans for it to potentially kick off a new trilogy.
When will Project 007 be released?
There is no word yet on when Project 007 will be released. It was announced in November 2020, and many took the reveal to be a specific strategy to encourage people to come work at IO on the IP. Announcing games early in development for the purpose of attracting talent is a comment practice in video games.
One of the big new hires for Project 007 is Rodrigo Santoro, a former Ubisoft veteran who joined IO in 2024 to become missions director for the James Bond game. Santoro said he was happy to join IO to work on the James Bond game, saying most companies are making sequels, so he’s excited for a new challenge.
Preorder Project 007
Preorders for Project 007 are not available yet, but whenever that happens, we’ll report back with a preorder guide.
Project 007 trailer information
So far, the only video for Project 007 was the announcement sizzle clip that was released when the game was announced in 2020. It showed very little, but does borrow the popular styling and official music for the James Bond series.
