While the James Bond video game from Hitman developer IO Interactive is still a ways out from release, the crew behind the super spy's return to video games have been open about their ambitions for Project 007. It's apparently the "ultimate spycraft fantasy" and a game that aims to set up a new ongoing gaming series for Bond, but it surprisingly took some effort to win over current James Bond owners Eon Productions on the concept. In the latest issue of Edge Magazine (issue 391) that's on sale now, IO Interactive co-owners Hakan Abrak and Christian Elverdam broke down their vision of a James Bond game series.
Lance Reddick's Hellboy Web of Wyrd launches, marking his final video game project
19.10.2023 - 13:27 / eurogamer.net / Mike Mignola / Keith David / Lance Reddick
Hellboy Web of Wyrd launches today now across platforms, with its launch marking one of Lance Reddick's final performances following his death earlier this year.
Reddick stars as Hellboy in Web of Wyrd, a roguelike action brawler. It promises an original story, which the studio has curated in partnership with Dark Horse Comics as well as Hellboy's own creator Mike Mignola, although one which doesn't interfere with what Mignola himself is up to.
«When an agent of the BPRD goes missing, Hellboy is sent to investigate; pulling him into the depths of the Wyrd,» the game's description reads. You can see how it looks, and hear the late, great Lance Reddick, in the video below.
Reddick was one of the most prolific actors across the video game industry, as well as being a star of film and TV. His credits include the John Wick films, The Wire, Lost, Sylens in the Horizon series and Commander Zavala in Destiny.
While Destiny developer Bungie has confirmed that the role of Zavala will now be voiced by veteran actor Keith David, starting with next year's climactic expansion The Final Shape, Horizon developer Guerrilla is yet to say what it plans to do for Sylans in future instalments.
Some have suggested AI could be used, much as CD Projekt recently did for its Polish lines for Viktor Vektor in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion. Perhaps Guerilla will make like Destiny, and recast the role. A third option would be to remove the character of Sylens from the narrative altogether.
Who can say, but whatever Guerrilla ultimately decides, there is no doubt that Reddick will continue to be sorely missed.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd Review
As easy as Insomniac might make it look, taking a property from the pages of a comic book and breathing digital life into it is no small or simple task. Baying legions of rabid fans are the first obstacle, and developers will have to weave through a chicane of potential online vitriol, before you hit the sizeable bump in the road of either creating a wholly new narrative or translating a well-worn one that you can’t possibly divert from.
