If I had to guess they are gonna pull a Agent Under Fire and create a brand new Bond.

Really looking forward to this! Miss the fun 007 games like Golden Eye and some of those that came in the PS2, GameCube and Xbox gen.
Oh, I realize that, but I think from say ... political aspects of things, it would be easier to set it in the '60s vs now. I still demand a Casino mini-game either way. :P
Holy Shit! Love it.
I hope the deal works out for them, I just listened to a podcast that looks back ten years and this month 10 years ago EA said among other things in an interview that they dropped the Bond license because MGM took too much money and it wasn't ideal in general. Could have been a last effort to renegotiate or a dig at Activision who picked up the license thereafter

Oh fuck yeah. They already have Alec Trevelyan digitised.
Goldeneye finally gets the sequel it needed.

The publishing thing is most likely going to work like Hitman 3.
They are publishing the game in some regions and another publisher is taking care in other regions, see Square Enix publishing the physical edition of Hitman 3 in Europe, while IOI is publishing the digital edition WW and physical edition in NA.
Or otherwise, being more selective about it. Build your way up to being the Bond we're familiar with, but your first kill's gotta be with your bare hands, and a sink
IO Interactive just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Kane & Lynch fans' culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is with other IPs where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw Kane & Lynch up, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Kane & Lynch fans, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase this 007 game any system, nor will they purchase any of IO's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but IO has alienated an entire fandom with this move.
IO Interactive, publicly apologize and cancel this game and make Kane & Lynch 3 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I can see it now:
"Q, is that really all you have for me?"
"Keep that attitude up Double-O and I'll send you out in your pajamas! Now, besides your upgraded watch, I'm equipping you with a briefcase..."

I hope it is a great game, but I've always felt the Hitman games, other than the suit, feel closer to Mission Impossible than it does 007.
They would make an awesome remake of Mission Impossible 64

Huge get for IO Interactive, and I'm sure they'll do it justice.
To me the Bond license felt like a natural fit for Sony, given their success with Spider-Man after the IP slipped through Activision's fingers, and their similar involvement in movies. Sony and Ready at Dawn partnering for a 007 game is a dream project in my mind.
That said I might be equally excited to see what IO will do. It seems like a natural fit.

Yeah but where are they getting the funding from? Either somone invested a hefty sum into the studio, or the Hitman games are making way more money than I thought.
