Somewhere between 4 and 5 years - which isn't all that long these days for a game of this caliber and the relatively small team at IO Interactive versus some of the bigger developers. The game was announced at the end of 2020 but it didn't enter active development until after Hitman 3's 2021 release and initial run of big content drops.
Then the days of individual movie tie-in games are well and truly over. Wish we still got movie novelizations in that case.

Second this. I was initially skeptical of that element after seeing the first trailer, but this works really well and it feels - authentically - like Bond. Gibson's playing it a bit like a cross between a young Roger Moore and a Slow Horses Jack Lowden, with just an edge of Taron Egerton in there somewhere. I'm digging it.
Turns out it was a good call on Burford, I still don't think it looks like her though! :D
She was in NTTD of course.
Yeah that's a good call: he kind of feels like what River Cartwright wishes he was, and that works for me.
The idea that Q is a stylish dresser, and that not only does that rub off on Bond but his sense of style is the reason why agents get Omegas and Aston Martins, is quite a neat one.
Also sounds like a surprise villain reveal coming. I hope it's not just Greenway, feels a touch obvious if it were.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that the game model doesn't quite look like her. But yeah she's brilliant in the inquiry episode of The Thick of It so I'm really happy she's playing M.
Yeah, I would say that maybe she's not supposed to, in that Mackenzie's Q doesn't seem to be trying to be him, but when I look at M I think I can see that they've tried to model her on Burford, but just not quite managed it. Shame because they've got Lennie James perfectly.
Bond in the game doesnt look exactly like Patrick Gibson, so I suppose they have made some tweaks to the characters to get the look they want for them.
I did take the opportunity though to finally order the NTTD steelbook.
It feels like we are entering a new Golden Age for Bond games. I haven't bought a game day 1 since Sniper Elite 5. But this is going to be a day 1 purchase.
The game’s soundtrack is by The Flight.

The good news is, with the foundation and groundwork in the books, the turnaround for subsequent games will no doubt be a little quicker assuming that this game is a success. After Hitman 2016 was released, Hitman 2 wasn't far behind and just built upon and refined what already existed.
