Project 007 Brings James Bond’s Origin Story to Nintendo Switch 2

James Bond fans have something exciting to look forward to, as IO Interactive has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated game, Project 007, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. This announcement means that the next console will play host to a reimagining of the world’s most famous spy, as the game will be a new narrative within the Bond universe.

Project 007 Brings a Brand-New James Bond Origin Story to Nintendo Switch 2, Developed by IO Interactive

Project 007 is a wholly original experience, as opposed to previous Bond games that used films as their basis. As IO Interactive explains, the plot will delve into James Bond’s origins, putting players in the shoes of the legendary secret agent as he earns his 00 status for the first time. This will be the first-ever Bond origin story told in a video game, so fans can expect a narrative not seen before. Hakan Abrak, IO Interactive’s CEO, previously revealed to IGN just how ambitious this project is.

He explained that Project 007 is not merely a “gamification of a movie,” but instead will feature a completely new story, one that seeks to immerse players in Bond’s early career. Abrak hinted that the game could be the start of something bigger, potentially a trilogy that takes Bond’s story deeper. Perhaps one of the most exciting elements of Project 007 is the introduction of a completely new Bond — one built for the game. This Bond was designed “from the ground up for gamers,” and provides players with a new interpretation of the iconic character.

With IO Interactive known for stealth and espionage gameplay through the Hitman series, fans are expecting an elaborate experience. While Project 007 has been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive has yet to announce an official release date. However, with the studio’s ambitious vision for the game, fans can expect an exciting and action-packed journey into Bond’s origins in the near future.
