Remember Rockstar’s Agent? Announced in 2007 for the PlayStation 3, it was touted as a stealth action title set during the Cold War. It would receive sporadic updates before the trademark was eventually abandoned and it was removed from the developer’s website. However, new details are available thanks to former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij, who worked from 1999 to 2009.
Upcoming James Bond game Project 007 is being described as "the ultimate spycraft fantasy"

Project 007, the upcoming James Bond game from Hitman developer IO Interactive, is "the ultimate spycraft fantasy," according to the studio's CEO.
In the latest issue of Edge (Issue 391), the magazine interviewed IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abran and discussed the studio's upcoming James Bond game. There's still a lot to find out about the mysterious title, it's still at least a few years away from release after all, but Abran did give us a little to work with for now.
"The few other breadcrumbs we're able to pick up in the office suggest a tone closer to Daniel Craig than Roger Moore, and perhaps a more scripted experience than Hitman's freeform jaunts," the magazine reads, before referring to a quote from Abran. "It's been pitched as 'the ultimate spycraft fantasy,' which suggests gadgets - and perhaps a step away from the murderous objectives of Agent 47," the story continues.
Don't get too hung up on the Daniel Craig mention, though, as IO Interactive has previously revealed that Project 007 won't be based on any of the James Bond actors - it'll be the studio's "own, digital Bond" and is inspired by the entire film franchise. We also know, thanks to a job listing from 2021, that Project 007 is likely to be a third-person action game, which isn't too dissimilar to IO's previous work on the Hitman series.
Alongside Project 007, IO Interactive is working on a game that's not related to James Bond or Agent 47 and is, in fact, an online fantasy RPG - which is pretty unexpected. This was announced at the start of 2023, so we shouldn't expect to see too much about it for at least the time being.

IO got the 007 license because it wants to make 'multiple Bond games' in the same way it handled Hitman
The latest issue of Edge Magazine includes an extensive interview with IO Interactive co-owners Hakan Abrak and Christian Elverdam about the studio's first 25 years and, of course, its future. A huge part of that is a new James Bond game, which IO announced in 2020 as an origin story with its own version of Bond: despite there being decades of 007 games, this is the first to ever take such an approach, with the others tying in to particular movies or actors.

Before Project 007 was greenlit, the Hitman studio had to convince the James Bond rights-holders to give video game adaptations another shot: "They were not looking for a game"
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.
