IO Interactive have finally shown off gameplay for Project 007, their upcoming James Bond game, and as a lifelong fan of both Hitman and 007, I had to dive in. Ever since IOI announced they were working on Bond, I’ve been imagining what a perfect spy sandbox might look like. Now we’ve seen it in action — stealth, disguises, gadgets, even car chases — and it honestly feels like James Bond already.
In this video, I break down everything from the Project 007 gameplay reveal: the opening mission setup, IOI’s signature level design, the new bluff mechanic that lets Bond charm his way out of trouble, the spy gadgets teased in the HUD (shockwave camera, dart phone, hacking watch), and how the Glacier Engine makes it all feel like an evolution of Hitman. I also look at the action sequences, the melee and gunplay, the cinematic set pieces, and of course the car chase — which, while exciting, still leaves me a little concerned. IOI has never made a driving system before, and car chases are such a core part of the Bond identity.
This is more than just “Hitman with hair.” It’s a true James Bond game. IOI seem to understand the essence of 007 — the espionage, the flair, the charm, the high-stakes action. We even got teases of classic Bond story elements: femme fatales, rogue agents, and a rookie Bond finding his place in MI6. For fans of both the films and the games, this could finally be the Bond experience we’ve been waiting nearly two decades for, since Everything or Nothing and From Russia With Love.
If you’re curious about Project 007 gameplay, the story details, gadgets, IOI’s design choices, or how this fits into the long history of James Bond video games, this breakdown is for you.
What did you think of the Project 007 reveal? Are you excited for IOI’s James Bond? Or do you share my concerns about the action and driving? Let me know in the comments — I’ll be covering more news, trailers, and gameplay analysis as we get closer to release.
