In an interview with Denmark's DR, IO Interactive director, Hakan Abrak revealed that Project 007 will not feature one of the famous faces playing the iconic agent.

While previous games have seen the likes of Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan play their respective versions of Bond, Project 007 will feature "a completely original story", with the studio having been allowed to "create their own digital Bond".

That’s everything we know so far about Project 007. While it is largely still under wraps, the idea of a new James Bond title with the masters of espionage and assassination at the helm is a tantalising one indeed.
