The James Bond video game first announced four years ago is making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Longtime fans will recall the first-person shooter, GoldenEye 007, released back in 1997 for the Nintendo 64, which to this day is still a fan-favorite game.
Project 007 from IO Interactive
During Nintendo Direct’s live-stream on Wedensday morning on YouTube, a brief teaser, similar to the one found below from the original announcement, was shown off.
The teaser revealed “Project 007” from IO Interactive.
“James Bond. The world’s favorite spy is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. So stay tuned,” stated the announcement.
Amazon has full creative control
The teaser also shows the 007.ioi.dk website which reveals the information announced from four years ago. We can guess that since Amazon now has full creative control over James Bond that the game is finally getting released. Amazon recently purchased the full rights to Bond for an additional billion dollars from its longtime owners and producers who reportedly were against expanding the franchise.
Game will be an origin story
The website reveals, “It’s Bond, James Bond,” adding the James Bond video game will be an origin story:
Project 007 (working title) is a brand new James Bond video game to be developed and published by IO Interactive.
Featuring a wholly original Bond story, players will step into the shoes of the world’s favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status in the very first James Bond origin story.
IO Interactive is currently recruiting elite talent from around the world to join the team that will build out this exciting and unique gaming title.
The website also lists Frederik Villumsen, Otto Ottosson, Rodrigo Santoro, and Dominic Vega as developers. As the information was first released four years ago, things could have changed, so we’ll update you with future announcements.
IO Interactive is also known for the Hitman games, which Nintendo Direct confirmed is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 as well with Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition.
Nintendo Switch 2 gets released June 5, 2025 (more details here). A release date for Project 007 hasn’t been announced.
