IO, if you make a multiplayer please include this man.

This is amazing news. Finally the Bond license is in incredibly competent hands. I can't wait to see what IO does with it.

Words can't describe how happy I was when I read the thread title.
I have to thank Super Bunnyhop for speaking this into existence.

Very curious which direction this will go. Can of course instantly imagine the hitman gameplay extend to a james bond infiltration mission.

I genuinely had no idea until this teaser that the James Bond intro in the movies is us seeing down the barrel of a gun.

I really hope they keep the same open ended mission design as the Hitman series. I'm sure there will be some action set pieces as well but the open ended areas in Hitman were so cool.

Well you couldn't pick a more apt developer for this project. I'm assuming it's going to be more like Absolution (i.e. more story-heavy, and with slightly more action) than the recent Hitman trilogy, and I think that's perfect for a James Bond game.

Absolution was a great game BTW.

Could not have picked a better dev + IP combo than this, super hyped.

This may beat "XCOM by Firaxis" as the best IP/Dev combination yet.

Even if all it is is "Hitman, but Bond", it's poised to be a fantastic game.

This is like the perfect combination. Looking forward to it.

That's a great fit, if the bond license had to go to anyone I'd have preferred either IOI or Arkane (Bond would make a perfect stealth immersive sim, let's be real).

Hopefully it's a single player game with next gen graphics and only for ps5/seriesS/X and PC . No cross gen please! I'm excited for James Bond

I think with the game clearly as far off as it is, PS5/Xbox Series only is basically a given.

Though I wouldn't say no to something on Switch, even if it's just a cloud version. Hell, maybe IOI, Nintendo, and Rare can come together and get Goldeneye on the thing with online multiplayer.

I didn't think too much of them having a new project but this reveal actually has me pretty excited.

So would this be set in the 60s then since it's an Origin story? In any case, this seems to be a great team pairing considering how good Hitman and Hitman 2 turned out to be. There better be some casino mini-games though.

Honestly, one thing I'd find interesting, if they are trying to make it a reboot, is maybe provide some sort of character customization? Since this will be coming on the heels of Craig's last Bond film, having a Bond game where you create the new 007 would be amazing.
That will depend a lot on how much flexibility EON is willing to give IOI on that. But agreed, I love the idea of it, it'd be like Alpha Protocol but with a massive boost.

All I can think about now is IOI doing an awesome Bond style title sequence. It will be glorious!

Oh wow, the mix I never knew I wanted so badly. This has every chance of being incredible.

This is absolutely perfect.

Hitman gameplay with some focus on expanded dialogue options and even more range of gadget. Literally the perfect combination
