IO Interactive: Project 007 Will Be a Logical Continuation of the Hitman Series

IO Interactive CEO Veronica Lalliere recently shared details about the upcoming James Bond game Project 007 in an interview with Gamesradar.

According to Lalliere, Project 007 will feature a completely new, original spy story and will not be similar to GoldenEye. Lalliere noted that the game will be a logical continuation of the ideas laid down in the Hitman series:

“The game is going to be incredible, and I’m really excited about it. If you look at our previous projects, like the Hitman series, you’ll see that Project 007 will be a natural progression of our style and approach to stories about spies and their activities. It all feels very cohesive and consistent.”

Lallier also emphasized that IO Interactive is very enthusiastic about Project 007. The studio itself approached the rights holder Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with a proposal for an idea for a game about James Bond, and the developers sincerely wanted to create a project based on the famous spy.
