According to developer High Moon Studios, The Bourne Conspiracy is going to be a third-person espionage action game. Of course, players will be controlling Jason Bourne himself and will utilize his piercing sense of survival, cunning nature, heightened target awareness, as well as firearms training. Gameplay will involve shooting and even hand-to-hand combat.

High Moon Studios President Peter Della Penna added, "High Moon has collaborated closely with Mr. Ludlum's estate holders, the guardians of his creative vision, since the day we began to develop the game. The goal of that collaboration has been to create a video game that takes inspiration from known elements within the Bourne universe".
