'It's important to mention: doing a licensed game is new. Bond fans that are looking for new content a little sooner will be pleased. He confirms again that James Bond in the IOI universe will be a unique creation and not linked to a real-world 007 actor and the storylines will be original. However, the fact that IOI is just now hiring for the new game unfortunately means Project 007 is still a few years away. Think of it as one studio, in multiple locations.'Ī core team has already set up shop at IOI Barcelona, but the developer has a long list of vacancies at the studio that need to be filled. IO Interactive CEO and co-owner Hakan Abrak was interviewed by IGN this week about the recently announced 'Project 007' videogame. 'A core part of our philosophy is that everyone at IOI has a significant and impactful role to play in realizing our dreams, regardless of where they're located. 'All three of our studios have extremely talented developers who are passionate and driven towards making an impact in our industry,' Abrak said. In his own statement, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak welcomed the team working at IOI Barcelona. Given IOI’s pedigree, Project 007 could well turn out to be the title the studio was born to make, one that will leave fans shaken and stirred. According to the announcement post on IO Interactive's site, all of the developer's studios are 'treated as Elite studios and will each make a significant impact to ongoing development and publishing efforts across all projects.' IOI Barcelona's role in the development of these new projects will be more than simple support. IOI Barcelona will be joining the developer's two other studios in working on both Project 007, IO Interactive's James Bond title, as well as another unannounced new intellectual property. Two other projects will also be tackled by IO Interactive's new Barcelona studio. The game's first DLC collection, Seven Deadly Sins, is now available, and its roadmap for April is packed with more new content.

In February 2023, IO Interactive announced Project Fantasy, this new. It will assist these other studios in supporting Hitman 3, which already has extra content on the way. The studio is to assist IOI on its active projects, including Hitman and Project 007 game. IOI Barcelona will be joining IO Interactive's two other studios, IOI Copenhagen and IOI Malmö.

This new studio, creatively named IOI Barcelona, is one part of its 'ambitious and exciting plans for expansion over the coming years' according to a post on the developer's site. IO Interactive, the developer behind Hitman 3, has just announced the opening of a new studio in Barcelona.
