The Danish studio is best known for the stealth series Hitman and third-person shooter Kane and Lynch games — arguably the two genres that would best encompass any James Bond story. IO is collaborating with MGM, Eon Productions, and Delphi to create a “wholly original Bond story exclusively as a video game.” The game is currently in active development for “modern systems and platforms.”
In a prepared statement, IO CEO Hakan Abrak called it “the most ambitious game in the history of our studio.”
IO released its last game, Hitman 2, in 2018. Hitman 3 is expected in 2021.
