“It’s true that once in a while, the stars do align in our industry,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive, “Creating an original Bond game is a monumental undertaking and I truly believe that IO Interactive, working closely with our creative partners at EON and MGM, can deliver something extremely special for our players and communities. Our passionate team is excited to unleash their creativity into the iconic James Bond universe and craft the most ambitious game in the history of our studio.”
The last such alignment of the stars I can remember is 2013's Metal Gear Rising collaboration between Platinum and Konami. If we can believe that this will be "the most ambitious game in the history of the studio", then we're in for a real winner here. I can't imagine a studio more fit for the task. Time to get excited!
