Things have been a little quiet on the upcoming 007 game from Hitman team IO Interactive, but more details have surfaced after a new developer interview with EDGE Magazine (thanks, GamesRadar).
The project is still shrouded in mystery (we've only seen the above teaser trailer so far!) but we now have an idea that the title may differ quite a bit from the team's Hitman series. IO Interactive CEO describes the game as "the ultimate spycraft fantasy", and EDGE Mag reckons it could be a more scripted affair than what IO has done with Agent 47 so far. This is what the magazine had to say after visiting the IO office:
"The few other breadcrumbs we're able to pick up in the office suggest a tone closer to Daniel Craig than Roger Moore, and perhaps a more scripted experience than Hitman's freeform jaunts,"
It's not much, but honestly, we'll take any little breadcrumbs we can get relating to this upcoming James Bond title. IO has done great work with Hitman, and we can't wait to see what they craft with the 007 license.
If you're craving some James Bond but don't want to wait around for IO Interactive's title, a classic 007 game recently released on Xbox Game Pass. Yep, Rare's old school Goldeneye was added to the library earlier this year, and it's still there if you fancy a whirl!
Hyped for IO's take on James Bond? Let us know what you think to this tidbit down below.

Hitman/Splitercell hybrid would be amazing.
i play a mission in goldeneye every week on xbox. this new game is a ways off im guessing?
I'm not really into shooting games, but I like hitman. I like sneaking around and taking out people without being noticed.
@rustyduck Yeah, it sounds it!
We hqd leaks saying they work with Xbox on something....couls this be the one?
It's the right call to make 007 more scripted than the hitman formula.
I'm dying for ANY news on this game. Hitman is great but I don't expect the JB game to be like it, because it would work better as a more linear experience divided by "stages". Looking forward to more info.
Would love some emergent dialogue options in the style of hitman mission stories but with you able to choose bond dialogue options
The World of Assassination trilogy is one of the greatest things to come out of gaming in the past 10 years, in my opinion, so to be honest I would have been happy with "Hitman, but Bond", with lots of emergent gameplay and the freedom to tackle missions in multiple ways.
Still, I'll be jumping on this as soon as it's ready. IOI is top tier in my book
A tone close to Daniel Craig sounds boring and like a typical third person shooter.
@Kaloudz if 47 can kick a toilet through a hole in the floor onto a guy's head, Bond should be able to as well.
@Kaloudz hell yes, in the abandoned school being used as a militia base (Marrakesh, Hitman 1) you can lure the leader underneath a hole in the floor and brain him with a whole toilet. I love that game 🤣
Bond game heyday for me was gamecube era. They felt like movies. But I also have no interest in bond movies anymore. I always liked the gadgets but they just feel like standard action plots now.
