Well known for Hitman, IO Interactive currently developing a video game James Bondcurrently known as Project 007. A title made official in 2020 and which is still pending, the Danish studio is not very talkative, but internally, things seem to be moving in the right direction.
Today, IO Interactive announces that it has recruited Rodrigo Santoro as mission director for the Project 007. If his name is unknown to you, Rodrigo Santoro worked for a long time at Massive Entertainmentfirst as senior level designer then world director on both The Division And Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. He also went before that to Crytek (far cry, Crysis). Rodrigo Santoro says:
I am very happy to join IOI. I admire how the studio dares to innovate and create new, memorable gaming experiences. This is especially notable in an era where most companies are focused on building suites. Project 007 has had my attention since the day it was announced and I feel incredibly lucky to work with the team making the game. I’ve been able to see more of the game and it already has something unique. Most importantly, every conversation I’ve had so far with team members has shown that the team is passionate about delivering a memorable and unique experience. Right now, I can’t wait to start working with the team and together create the best 007 game ever.
Frederik Villumsen, Associate Product Director at IO Interactiveadds:
Since we began the interview process last year, it was clear that Rodrigo stood out from the crowd. When we spoke with one of his former colleagues, we heard nothing but praise. As soon as we showed Project 007 to Rodrigo, he showed his enthusiasm for the game and was already sharing ideas, thoughts and asking lots of questions! His critical thinking and enthusiasm are qualities we appreciate, and we look forward to seeing him make an impact as Mission Director, where he will lead the balance between story, art, and gameplay to craft the most amazing Bond missions.
THE Project 007 ofIO Interactive promises to be ambitious, the Danish studio has already clarified that the game with James Bond will be very different from Hitman.
