    Was EON invested in this game? They have done precious little to promote, or even tease it. I hope we don't see the game released to little fanfare. Course we don't even know how far along things are.

    Project 007 featured in the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation. IO announced that the project is coming to Switch 2, as well as their Hitman game. So the game is still in development.

    No new footage was shown.

    Last console I bought was the Wii(!), so I'm long overdue for an upgrade. And what better way than with a new Bond game.

    Honestly, no clue how these things work. The announcement says Amazon and EON have formed a new joint venture to hold the right. So a new Danjaq, if you will. It is unclear to me if that only covers films or everything else as well.

    As you say, all the signs are it's a new Danjaq so it'll cover everything and how Bond is licensed out to books, games, CDs etc.
    I guess the supposed billion was because previously the Bond rights had been split between Danjaq and MGM, but now Bond will be wholly owned by a single entity but that is co-owned between MGM and the Broccolis (if I have that right, I'm not sure I've ever 100% understood it).

    Is the sound out of sync for everyone or is my computer on the blink?

    It's not just you, the audio is out of sync.

    I'm glad that that Project 007 is still happening, but at this point, I had hoped that we would have seen something.... anything. Even some concept art. Just something to give us an idea of what they have in store for us.

    While Project 007 is not based on any particular Bond story or Bond actor, I wonder if there’s any coordination with IOI and Amazon (formerly EON) to time the release of media packets, or a new trailer, with more substantial news about the new movie.

    I mean, neither needs the other, but relaunching Bond in both gaming and cinemas may get more attention from audiences in either camp that like, love or are piqued by Bond, whose media interests don’t intersect naturally.

    I also wonder whether Bond in this game will still be a unique iteration, or will Amazon want their new Bond on every gaming website, gaming magazine, hobby shop and retailer in the world?

    Or, is a unique creation, separate from the movies, what Amazon is looking to test or model. If Amazon is really considering spin-offs or remakes, then Project 007 may be the perfect case study to see if changing the formula, even slightly, will play. Of course, AUF from EA, featured a unique iteration of Bond, but AUF had so many of the same action beats, and actors, from the films that there wasn’t much suspension of disbelief required from players. But Project 007 seems so much more ambitious and creative that it could form its own center of gravity for a ‘James Bond Universe’ all its own.
