The James Bond series is undergoing a massive change.
What does this mean forHitman developer IO’s new James Bond game, or any other future Bond projects?
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
We’ve also reached out to Amazon MGM Studios.
IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak toldIGNthat Project 007 won’t be based on any of the existing Bond movies.
Instead, the developer is being allowed to create its own version of James Bond for the game.
“So it’s not a gamification of a movie.
It’s completely beginning and becoming a story, hopefully for a big trilogy out there in the future.
And equally important and exciting, it’s a new Bond.
It’s a Bond we built from ground up for gamers.
A number of companies have made James Bond video games over the years.
One of the most memorable and iconic James Bond games was Rare’s 1997 GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64.
Electronic Arts made James Bond games, too, including Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, and Rogue Agent.
Activison took over for a period of time, publishing titles like Quantum of Solace and Blood Stone.
