For at skabe den optimale 'Bond for Gaming' har IO Interactive dykket ned i både Bond filmene, men også bøgerne for at skabe den bedste Bond spiloplevelse til deres kommende 007 titel. Længe har Bond ikke været til stede i spil-industrien, og der findes nærmest ikke nogen bedre udvikler at give IP'en til end Hitman's IO Interactive.
I et nyligt interview med IGN fortalte IO's CEO Hakan Abrak, at den kommende Bond er en ny version af spionen. I tidligere spiltitler har det været en etableret Bond, som de har taget udgangspunkt i, og til tider brugt samme skuespiller som reference, men ikke denne gang. Abrak fortæller om deres aspiration med den nye Bond:
"It's very important that we could create a digital Bond. A Bond for the gaming industry... So it's a completely original story. This felt really, really important for us and we conveyed that to [James Bond owner] EON and they agreed that the result would probably be better doing it like that.
"There's always excitement around a new Bond. It's amazing, what they have done with the franchise over the years. Every Bond kind of defines a generation and it's amazing how they kept reinventing themselves over so many years. So, we're not only inspired by one movie, or games and whatnot. We're inspired by the whole thing, and just sucking things into us to make an original Bond, an original story, but that is absolutely true and recognizable in the values there is in Bond. I'm really looking forward to creating a new community that the gamers can call their own."
Den kommende Bond kommer altså til at drage inspiration fra alt tidligere Bond-materiale, og det bliver meget interessant at se hvad IO Interactive kommer på.
Hvad håber I på at se i det kommende Bond spil, og hvilken James Bond håber I på at IO drager mest inspiration fra?
