Don't panic, EON would never do that.
"The few other breadcrumbs we're able to pick up in the office suggest a tone closer to Daniel Craig than Roger Moore, and perhaps a more scripted experience than Hitman's freeform jaunts," the magazine reads, before referring to a quote from Abran. "It's been pitched as 'the ultimate spycraft fantasy,' which suggests gadgets - and perhaps a step away from the murderous objectives of Agent 47," the story continues.
Once again, it'll take inspiration from the entire film series but will be an all new, original Bond.
Be interesting to see when it’s set as well, with the comments one of them made about it being based on the “first Bond”. Probably a mistranslation, but could it mean we’re getting a period piece? Which might rule out the films going down that route next, because they really seem to be emphasising how this is a different Bond.
I hope there’s a nice mix of open ended, Hitman sort of levels, and more scripted Uncharted style setpieces. And driving too of course.
I have a thought of how the game will play out
My thought is that we will see the first two kills as the first two levels of the game similar to hitman where you have your client you have to kill
And for fans of the series like me, we get another confirmation that, while it may be a while, more Hitman is eventually on the way.
"So what do we know about 007? Well, it's no secret that IO is casting its own Bond and rewinding to the character's youth to tell an origin story. The few other breadcrumbs we're able to pick up during our time in the office suggest a tone closer to Daniel Craig than Roger Moore, and perhaps a more scripted experience than Hitman's freeform jaunts. It's been pitched as "the ultimate spycraft fantasy", which suggests gadgets – and perhaps a step away from the murderous objectives of Agent 47.
This final point seems to be supported by the way IO convinced James Bond owner Eon Productions to hand it the licence. "Our impression was clearly that they were not looking for a game," Abrak says. "And I think it's fair to say that they might not have been super-happy with some of the later games." Moving away from "action-oriented shooters", in Elverdam's words, seems to have been part of his pitch, presenting Hitman as a game in which violence is actually discouraged – with the exception of one or two very specific murders per level, of course. "That helped us convince the Eon Group that there's a sophistication in how we treat the agent fantasy."
There's one final connection to Hitman we need to investigate. Given that Abrak and Elverdam's big idea for World Of Assassination – and the thing that, ultimately, rescued the whole operation – was to deliver it gradually, over multiple years, do they have a similar vision for 007? "Yeah, absolutely," Abrak says. "I mean, that's the dream. That's the ambition. And it's also how we always talked about it." IO isn't interested in making a licensed game just "to score some money", he says, adding that it's turned down offers from "several other IP holders". It all depends on how the first game performs, of course, but Elverdam is clear about his hopes. "I would love players to look back on multiple Bond games by IO and go, 'Wow, that was quite a journey!'" Standing up from the conference table – its chibi Agent 47 still bearing marks of wear and tear that won't quite rub off – it occurs to us it's a sentiment that could just as easily apply to the first 25 years of IO Interactive as a whole."
I do, sorry. Tried to quote the pertinent information toward the end of the article but forgot the link. Here you go.

That's the world of video games for you. I wouldn't expect anything proper and concrete for another year or two at least.
I mean all that is obvious based on third person shooters over the last 30 years but let me pretend like we have knew info
Not that its a race but Indianna jones was announced AFTER project 007 and yet we are getting it this year …
Sorry but i dont believe this game is ever coming

As someone who was expecting third person all the way, this would come as a surprise. But it would be a clear difference to their work on Hitman. The PS3 Quantum of Solace game had a hybrid setup which worked okay. I’m hoping the third person here would also refer to the use of vehicles.
This is exciting news. I'll be eager to see how it's incorporated. In QoS, I loved the first person play in general but the incorporation of third person when using cover. Here? If you're playing in third person in general, then I wonder what will justify the first person perspective - cutscenes? Driving sections? Puzzles?
I really hope it's not the first, unless that's just via sniper sequences or something. I don't like the Ghost Recon-type style where everything is first person but you snap to third person anytime you fire.
There's a COD mission (will never remember which game) where the entire mission is scoped-in as a like Delta Ops sniper, I could see them doing a mission like that. Think Skyfall skyscrapers etc. But you're right, I hope and imagine it won't be that straightforward, but indeed creative I hope.
It could also mean that the player has the option to play in first or third person modes, akin to GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2.
Of course. That does tho seem to be the most challenging option from a dev standpoint, I'd think. Render everything in two modes. Or maybe it's the simplest, I wouldn't know.
Editing my old comment
New article no new news but suggests project 007 will be out next year

That'd be the smartest approach. It's crazy it's been over a decade since we last had that with 007 Legends, and my personal favorite, Quantum of Solace before that. It's still crazy to think we had three new Bond games in just four years, and now it's been 12 years since the last one (mobile titles aside). Depressing.
Honestly 007 Cypher is far more fun then 007 legends and has better graphics then most mobile games i implore people give it a try
