Project 007 teased at Nintendo Direct - Nintendo Switch 2

There's not much to unpack in the short teaser we got of Project 007 during the April 2, 2025, Nintendo Direct, other than a confirmation of the game's arrival on the Switch 2. The clip showed a bullet being loaded before the iconic spiral design frame of James Bond and its soundtrack came up. You can catch the teaser at the 36.32 mark.

Regarding the game, IO Interactive's official webpage states:

"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."

We have seen plenty of James Bond video games over the years, with some becoming cult classics like GoldenEye 007. Nevertheless, it is no surprise that the community is eager to see what the heads behind Hitman World of Assassination have in store as they work with Agent 007.
