Job listing provides more details about IO Interactive's Bond game

To sum it up, the job listing/s detail that Project 007 is going to be a third-person action-oriented game with strong stealth and adventure elements with maps, enemies, as well as challenges that will adapt to whatever players do in the game.

Now, if this all sounds just like the Hitman games, then you're not exactly wrong.

The question now is if this is the right approach. Multiple studios have tried to replicate the big screen magic of James Bond in video games. So far, very few have succeeded if any at all.

The most notable among these video game adaptations is GoldenEye 007, which stands out for both its tight first-person shooter gameplay, single-player campaign, and its multiplayer.

If IO Interactive is taking cues from its Hitman games for Project 007, it could do a whole lot worse. It's easy to imagine a James Bond game with a similar template to the World of Assassination trilogy. All IO Interactive needs to do is to make missions less about straight-up murders and focus a bit more on the narrative. Not to mention, since James Bond is a secret agent and not a stone-cold assassin, it would benefit Project 007 if he had more personality and flair.

Something along the lines of a flashier Hitman 3 with Bond gadgets in place of assassin's tools would probably result in one of the best video games based on movies to ever release.

Either way, this is not set in stone just yet. Because the project is still in development, there's a chance that IO Interactive could change things up midway. The studio might also choose to add both first-person and third-person perspectives to Project 007 halfway through development to add variety.

In any case, one thing that we can be sure of is that Project 007 is in good hands.
