As Hitman takes a hiatus, IO Interactive shares details of its James Bond game
a year ago
We might not be getting a new Hitman for a while, but IO Interactive does have a James Bond game on the way, and has shared a few more details.
IO Interactive's Bond game was first announced almost three years ago, and we haven't really heard much about it since then. The studio also recently shared that Hitman is on a bit of a hiatus, at least in terms of a new game. But in an interview with Eurogamer though, chief creative officer and co-owner of IO Interactive Christian Elverdam and fellow co-owner Hakan Abrak have shared some new details on the upcoming Bond game, mostly to do with how they approached building an origin story, and pitching the story in the first place.
"First of all, it's extremely awe-inspiring and literally just inspiring to work with the team at Eon [Productions], the people who are behind everything Bond," Elverdam said, going on to note how he's "used to defending Agent 47," in terms of how other people might want to adapt the Hitman series (the games have received more than one film adaptation, none of which being hugely well received).
