IO Interactiveは、『007: First Light』の最近のプレビュー記事において、本作が『Hitman』シリーズとは全く別物であることが明確に伝えられていることについて、非常に喜ばしいと述べています。同スタジオは、5月27日の発売に先立ち、プレイヤーにその違いを正しく理解してもらいたいと考えています。
ナラティブディレクターのMarin Emborg氏とシニアコンバットデザイナーのThomas Marcham氏が、同スタジオのブライトンオフィスでEurogamerのインタビューに応じました。両氏は、本作をオープンなスタイルの『Hitman』ではなく、一本道（リニア）な三人称視点のステルスアクションであると評したプレビュー記事について言及しました。Emborg氏はこうした反応を予想通りであり、また安堵したと述べ、Bondは多くの点でHitmanとは対照的な存在であると語りました。
