IO Interactive Confirms James Bond and Hitman for Nintendo Switch 2

IO Interactive Confirms James Bond and Hitman for Nintendo Switch 2 IO Interactive, the acclaimed developer behind the modern Hitman series, has officially confirmed the arrival of two major titles—Project 007 and Hitman World of Assassination: Signature Edition—for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console.

This announcement was made during the latest Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, signaling significant third-party support for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. Project 007, IO Interactive’s highly anticipated James Bond title, was highlighted during the showcase with a brief but evocative teaser.

While the game is still publicly titled 'Project 007' and detailed information remains limited, the trailer provided fans with a glimpse of the iconic gun-barrel sequence accompanied by familiar James Bond musical cues.

This marks one of the first major confirmations that the new console will host the next chapter in the storied James Bond video game legacy—a franchise that holds a significant place in gaming history, particularly among Nintendo fans who fondly remember the days of GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64. In addition to Project 007, IO Interactive also revealed that Hitman World of Assassination: Signature Edition will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

This comprehensive edition will offer players access to the critically acclaimed stealth-action gameplay that has defined the modern Hitman trilogy, now optimized for the expected capabilities of Nintendo’s next hardware platform.

This move follows the success of Hitman 3’s cloud version on Nintendo Switch and suggests a continued commitment to bringing high-profile, technically ambitious titles to Nintendo’s ecosystem. At present, IO Interactive has not released specific launch dates or gameplay footage beyond the initial teasers, but the announcement itself reflects the growing confidence third-party developers have in Nintendo Switch 2.

In a statement released with the announcement, IO Interactive reiterated its excitement for reaching a new generation of Nintendo players and thanked fans for their continued support as development progresses. The news arrives at a moment when anticipation for Nintendo Switch 2 is ramping up, following over 139 million units sold of the original Nintendo Switch since its launch in 2017.

As Nintendo prepares to transition to its next major platform, partnerships with renowned developers like IO Interactive indicate a bright future for the firm’s hardware and software ecosystem. Players and fans can expect additional updates on both Project 007 and Hitman World of Assassination: Signature Edition as release dates and gameplay details are shared in future Nintendo Direct presentations and official communications.
