IO Interactive wants to do its own James Bond trilogy

The newly independent IO Interactive is hard at work on its upcoming James Bond game. The studio, primarily known for the Hitman games, is seen as a perfect fit for a James Bond title, and the studio is hoping to do a full trilogy.

Project 007, the codename for IO Interactive's James Bond game, is not supposed to be “a gamification of a movie”, IO CEO, Hakan Abrak recently told IGN in an interview. He then went on to reveal that he hopes that their original, younger James Bond will get a full trilogy.

“It’s completely beginning and becoming a story, hopefully for a big trilogy out there in the future. It’s a Bond we built from ground up for gamers. It’s extremely exciting with all the tradition and all the history there is”.

This is just a small quote from the full IGN interview, which is worth reading if you're interested in the behind-the-scenes at IO.

We don't know how IO Interactive's license deal for Bond is structured. A trilogy may require more negotiations with the rights holder. However, if the first game does well, we don't see why there wouldn't be a sequel. Clearly, IO Interactive is sold on this idea and is willing to commit long-term.

KitGuru Says: The recent Hitman games were all incredible, so I have no doubt IO Interactive will do well with the James Bond IP.
