Fans of the legendary British secret agent can gear up for a fresh chapter in the James Bond franchise. IO Interactive has officially confirmed that Project 007, its highly anticipated Bond video game, will be released on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
As revealed on IO Interactive’s official website, Project 007 will introduce players to a completely new narrative set within the James Bond universe.
According to the developer, players will assume the role of the world’s most iconic secret agent as he embarks on a journey to earn his 00 status in what is being described as the first-ever origin story for James Bond.
Building a New Bond for a New Generation
In a previous discussion, the studio’s head, Hakan Abrak, explained that the project was particularly thrilling due to its originality. He noted that the game isn’t simply an adaptation of any existing James Bond film but instead an entirely fresh narrative crafted specifically for this medium.
He went on to explain that the story is designed to be the beginning of something much larger—potentially the foundation for a major trilogy. Abrak emphasized the importance of creating a version of Bond tailored specifically for gamers. This interpretation of the character was developed entirely from scratch, merging the iconic legacy of the spy with a modern approach that allows players to connect with a younger version of Bond, one that they can grow alongside through future installments.
This new vision marks a significant evolution for the franchise, promising a Bond that feels both familiar and brand new, crafted specifically for the interactive world of gaming.
