IO Interactive has revealed a teaser trailer for their next game, Project 007. Here it is:
This has the potential to be really good. IO Interactive are very talented developers and I’m sure they will be able to deliver a good product. I’m interested.
My bet is they did this announcement to attract talent to build out their team working on this. I expect Warner Bros. to work with them on the Hitman IP for the coming years.
One thing I noticed is that it said that it was being both developed and published by IO Interactive. I thought it was going to be published by Warner Bros? What happened to that?
Bond by the Hitman developer, I mean it’s close to perfect if you ask me. Hitman 3 undoubtedly is going to be amazing but it’s fantastic to see something new by these incredibly talented folks.
This isn’t even the Warner Bros project, to IO could possibly be working on 2 licensed games. Spider-man sales pretty much showed how powerful a licensed video can be if its done well.
The only Bond game I have ever was Blood Stone on Xbox 360. Only played several hours of it but I enjoyed what I played. Hitman is a great series but not for me. Really hoping that IO Interactive’s Bond game is more action oriented as opposed to stealth and disguises. But im intrigued so just have to wait and see.
They’re only now hiring up to enter preproduction. Hitman 3 ships in January and their other main team is working on a multiplayer game (new IP) for Warner Bros. They also semi-announced a 2nd new game they’re hiring up for today, which is neither 007 nor the WB game.
