Attention all GoldenEye enthusiasts, it's time to rally! IO Interactive has just announced that their eagerly awaited James Bond game, Project 007, will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. This thrilling news comes directly from IO Interactive’s website, where they revealed that the game will delve into an entirely new narrative within the iconic Bond universe.
"Players will step into the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status in the very first James Bond origin story," the developer stated, setting the stage for what promises to be a groundbreaking gaming experience. This isn't just another adaptation; it's a fresh take on the legendary spy's journey.
Back in October, IO Interactive's head, Hakan Abrak, shared his excitement with IGN about crafting this novel origin story. "What's exciting about that project is that we actually got to do an original story. So it's not a gamification of a movie," he explained. The vision is clear: to create a narrative that stands on its own, not tethered to any existing film.
Abrak further elaborated on the ambitious scope of the project, hinting at the potential for a trilogy. "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 the ground up for gamers. It's extremely exciting with all the tradition and all the history there is there together to work on this together with the family of creating a young Bond for gamers; a Bond that the gamers can call their own and grow with."
