Hitman developer IO Interactive is making the next 007 game.
Hitman's Agent 47 is a ruthless assassin with a knack for disguises and creative kills, but he isn't exactly suave. The studio is digging into a famous franchise for another take on the secret agent, as it's currently developing a new James Bond 007 game.
Announced with an extremely short teaser on November 19, "Project 007" will be developed and published by IO Interactive with the full support of Eon Productions and MGM. On the game's official website, IO says it will feature a "wholly original Bond story" and will be an origin game--the first we've seen for Bond. A tweet from the official James Bond Twitter account mentions that you'll "earn your 00 status" as part of the game's story.
