    Given the game is about earning the 00 status, I suspect the first part of the game (at least) will be stealth and non lethal takedown focused.

    Very excited to see this revealed and see how much Hitman is in its DNA. I’m hoping it’s not a copy paste (and I doubt it would be) but I also think a totally linear cover shooter type deal as we’ve had in the past would be a let down — I’m hoping/assuming it will be a happy medium.

    Lets hope to see some gameplay or indications about it, and not just one of theses tiring cinematic trailers game industry like to drop despite gamers don't.

    Exciting! It has been too long since the last proper Bond videogame. Looking forward to more details.

    I get the feeling he's going to be quite a new, different take on Bond; but that's okay.
    Although he's still got a PPK, chunky divers watch and a rollneck, so still quite Bond :D

    Curious to learn more about this balance as well.

    I'm wondering if it might play a bit like the classic Splinter Cell titles. They were also stealth/takedown games, but a bit more linear in nature than Hitman has evolved to be.

    That being said, I'm not certain "stealth" is the key attribute to the James Bond brand and experience. It's an element, to be sure, but an entire game built around that principle seems dubious to me. Bond is defined a great deal by what he does, says, and how he interacts cleverly with allies and enemies around him.

    Can't wait to see more!

    I'm glad he's holding a gun, I have to be honest.

    I have way more excitement and hope for this than I do any future films with Amazon. They have a chance to make something really special here.

    One wonders if they pull an Everything Or Nothing and cast sizable entertainers and actors to fill voice roles. Could David Arnold do the score? Will there be a title song?

    I hadn't even considered the possibility of David doing the new game score -- that's a brilliant idea and would potentially be a terrific win for them! (And us).

    FL's a good title looking forward to more news about FL and some screenshots of gameplay from FL. Just testing out the acronym here BTW.
    So, how does it FL?

    Was there a chance he wouldn't? In terms of violence I'm sure he'll be killing people but to be honest I hope it's not hundreds like it was in previous games, it's a bit weird really and kind of takes me out of the story the game is trying to tell.

    They could do it like MGS where stealth is rewarding rather than going all guns blazing against the enemies. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    The previous mobile games have avoided it, and it's clearly stealth focused, so yes there was a chance, I believe many even voiced their concerns openly about it I just don't care to go searching back for it.

    I would love this, if non-lethal takedowns and/or stealth kills somehow rewarded player progression more than going in guns blazing. I've only played Hitman 3, but I seem to recall it works something like that? (Phenomenal game, btw. Utterly engrossing.)

    On first glance: Their Bond avatar's silhouette resembles a young Roger Moore!

    (Lowers voice for a hotter, more ambitious take): Bond's face is shadowed in the key art because this could be the first game featuring RPG-inspired character creation elements where players get to design their own 007...

    He looks a bit like both Blond Bonds.

    I’m cautiously optimistic. Not a huge fan of the name but gameplay and story is what will matter. I’m looking forward to actually seeing some footage of the game.

    Only in VR would this get any interest from me.

    That'd be insanely great, wouldn't it.

    I hope for this entry, the whole 'be your own Bond avatar' is a hit with the younger gaming generation. I like the casual attire, but the jacket is too Daniel Craig imo

    @Risico007 good video, clear and engaging.

    Is there any truth to the rumour that Bond's likeness in this new video game will be based on @dewiparry? ;)

    I could style my hair like that. But this fella looks fit, healthy and focused.
