Lige nu er danske IO Interactive i fuld gang med at udvikle Project 007, der er kodenavnet for deres kommende James Bond-spil. Spillet repræsenterer en stor aftale imellem studiet og ejeren af Bond-licensen, MGM, der i sig selv snart ejes af Amazon.
Og MGM synes at være meget, meget tilfredse med partnerskabet også, og de går så langt som til at kalde matchet imellem licens og studie for et "match made in heaven". I et interview med GamesIndustry siger MGM's Robert Marick og Matthew Suser.
"When you look at James Bond, for instance, the opportunity to be able to tell an origin story and express that in terms of the quality that fans expect, we needed a console partner to be able to help tell that story. We're not here for a quick buck, we're here for what extends the brand.
It all comes down to identifying the right development partner. IO is the authority in stealth and agent-oriented games, so they truly were a dream come true in terms of studios to partner with on James Bond. They have a deep, deep passion for the IP, and they're extraordinarily talented. It's a match made in heaven, IO Interactive and James Bond, and we're working on something we think is going to be very special for fans."
Det anes ikke hvornår vi ser Project 007, men vi går ud fra at der kan gå lang tid.
